Posted July 1, 201411 yr im just getting into the series and i want to hear your takes on it. is it any good? is it the best game ever? why? im looking forward to your answers!
July 1, 201411 yr Personally I'd say it definitely is one of the best games ever. It's unlike any other RPG out there, has an amazing sense of humour (you will laugh out loud many many times), amazing soundtrack, amazing story, amazing towns that really do look like modern towns, you'll honestly feel like you're in 1950s America, the characters don't say much but still get you to care for them, no random encounters and the game doesn't like to waste the player's time so if you're overleveled the game you don't even enter battle, the enemy just becomes eradicated automatically and you gain the exp, as it's name implies it's also the most 'earthy' RPG out there, you use baseball bats, yoyos, frying pans to attack and you travel by bike, shop at the mall, etc. so it's quite an experience you can see yourself in and that makes it all the more immersive, also the world is actually quite huge and diverse and there isn't a world map (just like there isn't in real life) so you have to travel across every inch of it yourself without shortcuts and the world is just gorgeous and diverse, swamps, snow, modern cities, canyons, the beach, everything in the real world is in EB and towards the end of the game it gets real dark and tense which is awesome. Just one of the best games ever. Just short of being my favourite game.
July 1, 201411 yr Definitely one of the most unique RPGs.. no games.... you can play. 11/10 Would reccommend. Would ship. And so on. Heck, it is such a good game many developers of games have used it as inspiration. Just to name a big one at the moment, that South Park: Stick of Truth game, Homestuck... the list of people inspired by EarthBound goes on.

It's not my favorite game ever, but it's definitely up there (Although I can't decide if I like it more than Chrono Trigger...).

Chrono Trigger (and TWEWY ) is what keeps EB from being my favourite game.
