is it really the best rpg on the snes?
No, but it’s pretty good, and a classic.IMO Chrono trigger is the most solid overall SNES RPGs but there are many strong contenders.
It's subjective
Dragon Quest V and Chrono Trigger are better.
Earthbound is fun and has some unique charms but it's not the best. The lack of character-building or variety holds the mother games back.
>>4148854It's not a story about just anyone. It's a story about specific characters. It's not your personal power fantasy. It's a story about something specific.You're doing the equivalent of complaining that your local ice cream shop doesn't have tex-mex burrito bowls on their menu.
>>4149571Yeah whatever but the gameplay suffers from it, you can say the same about 90% of rpgs and they still offer more variety to the gameplay and how to build your characters
>>4149571So it's not really an RPG.
>>4147708Honestly, I'd say Shin Megami Tensei and Majin Tensei II are.
>>4150149>Shin Megami TenseiWhat's the appeal? I remember playing this and easily winning every fight without looking up any guides or advice. The whole appeal of SMT is supposed to be the challenge but SMT I was incredibly easy as far as I recall.
