What is the best RPG from the year 1994?
inb4 Earthboundfags flood the thread
>>
If you wanted to make an Earthbound thread you should just have done it straight instead of using faggy indirect falseflag reverse psychology tactics

Well it is ff6 but earthbound is a completely reasonable answer. I don't get the point in just being mad that someone likes an objectively good game.

Interestingly enough, this does not appear οn wikipedia's "Notable releases in 1994" page. Hiroko is such a babe

You retards will confidently say it's FF6 or Earthbound without ever having played PSIV, making this yet another thread where people just name the most obvious bog standard normie SNES games whilst being happily oblivious to anything else out there.

If... is better though. 1994 also.
SMT2 did two new things right: can fight 2 enemy types at once in combat (it was already a thing in SMT1, but only during specific boss fights; 2 does this for random encounters), and monsters can inherit spells when fusing. Everything else about the game is just a boring retread of both MT2 and SMT1, although it's a bit better balanced, less broken, than SMT1, combat is still pretty boring overall.

If introduced the backrow being unable to do basic physical attacks which brings so much more strategy to the game and makes combat so much more interesting; plus it has a tons of replay value between the different guardians, male/female protag, and side protagonist which influence the game greatly. Also in If you can swap from Law to Chaos monsters and vice versa at any time rather than being pretty much locked to one side like in 1 and 2.

Click the purple link to the Phantasy Star 4 page and check the release dates, it released December 17, 1993. That wiki article is wrong.

How'd they manage tο put out two games in a single year?
Also If... is not better than II
>>
>>12543130
April and October releases, plenty of time between the two. Also If probably had short development; and some of its ideas like the school setting were dropped ideas from previous games.

I'd say If has better gameplay but I'd understand if one argued that SMT2 has better story. With that said I think it's interesting how story and gameplay are correlated in If (the dungeons design being thematic); and as I said I have less respect for the story of 2 due to how much of it is a retread of MT2 and SMT1.

I love SMT but old SMT is a pain the balls to play and have nothing great about them besides the story and atmosphere
>>
>>12542852
As someone who played quite a lot of jrpgs it's still ff6, its just a fantastic game.
No harm in recognizing the great

You shouldn't really get mad at anyone for liking any game.
