Earthbound is praised for being awesome as gently caress and all that jazz, but i think it plays just like ff7 -- the random battles on a world map.

i got all of that outta me during my dragon warrior I & II play through and now i don't enjoy the mechanic anymore. when I last tried to play through ff7, I just couldn't get into it.

does earthbound really have a loving awesome story that will keep me playing?

i like being able to choose my battles by seeing dudes on the world map and running after/away from them

if you go up behind someone you get a free turn but if they do it to you then they get a free attack

you really know how to sell a game. i'll probably start playing this when i get home. only heard good things about it for decades now. but i heard good things about ff7 too, which is why i asked

Are you loving telling Me that you did NOT like Ff7 (Final fantasy 7)??? That game have Sephiroth. That game have Leviathan. And Shinra Electric Power Company. Your a loving Moron bro

its not that i didn't like it, it's just my favorite character died like an hour into this 30 hour epic full of cool characters such as CHaos and a black guy with attitude

It oozes style and humor and whatever, but the battles are simple (so simple the game lets you autowin them. Hooray?) and wandering most places out of town is boring as poo poo.

this sounds like every jrpg ever though.

I am a man that likes to play my games slow. I like to dick about and look through every corner for cool goodies and fun secrets.

Is Earthbound a game that will fulfill my curiosity?
