Geez what happened.

I have a distinct memory of people on this forum basically crying for this game to come back.

I guess those people aren't posting anymore; nothing new there, I suppose.

As much as I like the game, I have to admit the amount of grinding that you have to do at certain points is pretty insane.

Earthbound's gameplay is pretty much identical to jrpgs that predate it by a decade.

i mean it came out the same year as final fantasy 6 and yet the gameplay is simpler than ff1

Funny that you mention it, since it really was the story that turned me off from Persona 3. Maybe I should give it another try...

it doesn't require grinding
sorry you're intercourse ing poop at rpgs made for kids

Well the game took more grinding than that but it certainly wasn't impossibly difficult for me to reach a desired level for a boss fight

Your problem with the game according to your other post is that its gameplay is identical to RPGs made 10 years prior to its release.

What's the problem with this? Especially considering most post-1995 RPGs are complete dogpoop. Especially post-2005 RPGs. It's a genre that is extremely difficult to innovate well with.
Title: Re: EARTHBOUND IS ON WII U VIRTUAL CONSOLE TODAY
Post by: zephilicious on July 20, 2013, 12:42:40 PM
because there was a hell of a lot of innovation between 1985 and 1995 and earthbound ignored all of that
