Earthbound is the only good JRPG Other JRPGs have faggot fans who try to convince themselves they like a game just to belong to a community while Earthbound is a genuinely good and relaxing game the best JRPG of all time
Most Earthbound fans haven't even played the game.
>>12800143I did faggot suck my dick FF fan
>>12800132Agreed.Source: haven't played it.
That's interesting.I heard earthbound fans are a bunch of posers.
>>12800132It's literally 1 to 1 copy of Dragon Quest...
>>12800143>>12800203>>12800208This is a forced meme that has literally never been true. Why would someone pretend to like Earthbound of all things? If anything people are far more likely to pretend to like Final Fantasy because that's seen as the status quo opinion. We all know western FF fans are such conformist cattle that even something like Dragon Quest is considered niche to them. Well I for one think Final Fantasy is insipid dogshit for fags and I don't care who knows it.
>>12800210The first game? Kinda although map movement and the way the game handles the huge world map is not like Dragon Quest
>>12800567Same reason fags on this board pretend they play games when they don't and will claim games that don't have tank controls have tank controls
>>12800567>This is a forced meme that has literally never been true. Why would someone pretend to like Earthbound of all things?because he's the guy from smash brothers
>>12800567>Why would someone pretend to like Earthbound of all things?It makes them seem all quirky and cultured. It's like when people pretend to like NiGHTS.
>>12800567I think EarthBound is one of those games that internet people like the idea of more than the actual game itself. See also: Majora’s Mask, God Hand and Deadly Premonition.
It's funny, I feel like people only pretend to like Earthbound so they can fit in with that community.
>>12800132Why are cringe Toby Fox fans like this?
>>12800567>every game sold like shit>mother 3, the most fawn and jerked off game after Earthbound, has the worse domestic numbers out of the 3>the most exposure it has gotten ever was when the decs were help making Smash and threw Ness in there>fanbase is still uncomfortable over the first fucking game in the series, which plays like your average baby DQ game.>"Wow, why do people believe we're all larpers or something?"Since you want to pick a fight with FF, here's a fun fact for you:Final Fantasy didn't become a ground breaking mega-hit until they split off shitty Xenogears and made Final Fantasy 7.Overrated tendie fantasies like FF6 turn out to sell like massive ass in the states (860k, was the biggest US number it has ever gotten back then) as the devs admitted it wasn't selling big at it's critically acclaimed by internet contrarians. Hell, even FF9, the game closest to old school FF, manage to break past a million in the US outside of Nintendo consoles.The fact you're acting so high and mighty over your Dragon Quest romhack is fucking embarrassing. Your Yakuza president at Japanese Disney looked us down because he assumed RPGs were a mere fad. Little did he know it just needed an extra oomph to get back on the map, and it didn't have to involve any sort of gay autuer subversion shit in it.Get fucked loser.
>>12800848That's a good point, I don't think you're wrong, but I used to rent earthbound all the time so it's nostalgic for me. I'm prettysure im unique in that way though, I remember seeing Ness in a smash promo art and explaining that he looks like the guy from earthbound but that it didn't make sense for him to be in the game because earthbound is not popular.
>>12800918Stay mad, sonygger.
>>12800567The Earthbound subreddit sees constant posts along the lines of "I've been a fan of the series for 20 years, excited to finally start playing Earthbound!"The Earthbound fandom, particularly the western fandom, is fucking retarded. These are the same people that think Mother 1 is a challenging game.
>>12800132You wouldn't say this if you actually played Earthbound
>>12800132JRPGs as a whole aren't good. ARPGs are the only subgenre worth playing.
>>12800848>EarthBound is one of those games that internet people like the idea ofThat still makes no sense, it's not like Earthbound sells itself on an attractive concept that hooks you in right away. It's not one of those games where you can just reverse-engineer the entire thing in your head just from looking at it. From the outside, Earthbound just looks like a kiddy DQ clone with trippy visuals. It's not a pretty or slick-looking game to say the least, and its appeal is not easy to describe. How would someone even know that much about it without playing it themselves?>>12801239>spoilerI think I see the issue there.
Low effort gay shidder thread abort abort do not bump
>>12802150>How would someone even know that much about it without playing it themselves?90% of the English-speaking fanbase are Undertale/Deltarune kiddies who automatically like Earthbound/Mother because Toby Fox said it was good. They do this despite actually hating the games, if they've played them at all.
>>12802176I've always found that strange, because Undertale and Mother have completely different gameplay from one another.
>>12802179Which is probably why they hate them and use cheats to beat them.
>>12802183JRPGs are more of a story-first genre anyway, so I can see people doing that.
>>12800132That run-on sentence tho.
