Super fucking fun, chill, easy, idiot-proof. Maybe. Love the game to death but I wouldn't say God-tier; if you know anything about anything you can do a flawless run through on your first try without ever even grinding.

It's so sad that Final Fantasy 5 never actually came out on SNES. I would have been so into it back then.

>>4002812
>Super fucking fun,

What more do you need?

>>4002729
Out of all the genres that are supported on the SNES/Super Famicom, RPGs are what you're looking for for recommendations? Seriously? You should have found them yourself if you lurked here for a week or two. If that's not enough, you could also find gameplay footage on youtube or read reviews on GameFAQs, Gamespot or any reviewing site with user reviews

Also, don't ask what anons on this board think what's the best RPG on the system. There can only be disagreement about that. >>4002731 gave the list with those people fight about most over.

>>4002729
SMT2 and Live a Live

Shit taste lad

>>4002890

Final Fantasy V wasn't released in English until 1999, you ignorant edgelord.

>>4002740
>>4002890
What's wrong with Earthbound?

>>4002729
Probably Super Mario RPG obviously. It's just excellent. Also Secret of Evermore & Soul Blazer.

>>4003295
Its reddit the game

>>4003315
What the fuck does that mean?

>>4003315
go back to /v/ you retard

>>4002824
The first FF we yuropoors got was 7. I played it with the translation for the first time in 2003. It's the greatest.

>>4003295
it's generally well-regarded so faggots like >>4002890 shit on it to be /vr/ hipsters. It's truly ironic that they'll shit on hipsters for liking the mother series, but they literally don't like it because it's not obscure enough. The ultimate in /vr/ asshattery.

>>4003346
>May 2002
Holy shit, Anon that sucks.

Seiken Densetsu 3

>>4002729

secret of mana, the colours, the music, the gameplay..it's so comfy. still love it to this day

>>4003467
I meant the fan translation by RPGe.

I'm playing Anthology right now, there's some comedy gold actually.

>>4003527

>>4003295
It's popular with young people

>>4003295
It's a popular and good game, so the typical response from /vr/ is to shit on it and name some obscure game as objectively better because it's obscure and not because they actually played it.

So, nothing is wrong with Earthbound

>>4002729
Very few. 2 or 3 tops.
>>4002731
>Breath of Fire 2
Jesus fucking christ mate...
>>4003529
>gameplay
Is rubbish in Seiken Densetsu. As is the collision detection and level design and writing.

>>4002731
Solid list. Gonna add Secret of Mana to that

It's the hipster game. It released garbage and still is garbage. Nobody liked it back then not even reviewers. It was promoted well by Nintendo but still failed. On top of its hipster status it somehow got this title as "holy grail" ultra rare game.

It's a "I like it because my fav eceleb likes it" situation.

>>4004107
>trusting reviewers

>>4004113
This isn't modern times, champ.

>>4004107
Not even gonna touch the other parts but your given example of "69%" wouldn't put it in "unliked", and certainly not "Garbage"
If I played a game I didn't like there's no way in hell I'd say "eh 6.9/10"
And if it was garbage? Who would rank something they thought was garbage above 5/10?

>>4004119
>Not even gonna touch the other parts but your given example of "69%" wouldn't put it in "unliked", and certainly not "Garbage"
Maybe for a no name dev. For Nintendo yes.

If a big name dev like Nintendo is getting below 70 or 3.5/5 they dropped the ball hard.

>>4004118
Yeah it was even worse then, asshat.

that's where your mistaken. reviews have never been good, and never will be. this holds true for all artforms. there's an oingo boingo song about it, you should check it out.

>>4004193
forgive my incorrect "you(')r(e)".

>>4004193
Video game reviews from the 80s and 90s are the exception. Find me 5 severely overrated games from a noteworthy magazine. You wont find them.

>>4004198
They're not a fucking exception there was tons of magazine drama and shilling back then you absolutely dense poop man

>>4004273
>Offer you to provide evidence to prove me wrong
>gave me more of you hot opinions

>>4004118
Right, in modern times 2D games are celebrated, unlike in 1995 when people were hyped about 3D only.

>>4004283
>but muh 3d bais
That never existed? And you'll never provide evidence to support this claim?
Hey more bullshit form underage! Cool!!!

Man just look at that 3d bias in this issue of EGM from 1995! Woah!!!

>>4004306
I see you're prepared with evidence to win your argument, well done. Most of these games are 3D though, but still yeah, Yoshi's Island, Chrono Trigger, those were praised. Well done.
It's okay boy. Want to hate Earthbound? hate on it. No problem.

>>4004327
>Most of these games are 3D
Maybe look again. The majority in both the Editors and reader's picks are 2d or 2.5d.

Here kiddo listen, I'll make these even easier for you. Fuck finding me 5 examples from last post. Find me a single example of a magazine greatly inflating a review/rating for a game just because it's 3d. No garbage mags. Stick to noteworthy magazine like EGM, Nintendo Power, PC gamer, etc. Fine me 1 example. Just 1.

You may find one but I don't think you'll reply back until you've searched for at least 25mins if at all. Magazine reviews in the 80s and 90s were the shit and had integrity. Something your generation lacks.

Also
>I see you're prepared with evidence
Not really. A lot of these magazines have scans online. You're bullshit claims are so full of shit that a simple google search completely refutes them.

>>4004334
Boy, calm down, I said it's OK if you want to hate on Earthbound.
Maybe I was wrong, maybe people still cared about 2D back then, but I'll still not take a reviewer's opinion (be it from the 90s or 00s) as fact.
6.9 is a bit too low for Earthbound in my opinion. It's at least a 7,5.

>>4004339

And 7.5 rates as "god-tier" to you?

>>4002884
Are the fan translation for these any good?

>>4002731
This.
Also add Final Fantasy V, Secret of Mana 1 & 2, Front Mission and Shin Megami Tensei 1, 2 & if....

>>4004404
My argument with you wasn't about Earthbound, but about magazine reviews.
Calm down, not everyone who argues with you is a rabid EB fanboy.

This meme needs to stop. It's an amazing game, one that I had beat about a year ago after I was able to afford it, and I had wished I had played it much earlier.

>>4004902
>This meme

>>4004404
God tier is a personal opinion, not factually based on a 20 year old review

>>4003236
Wrong. RPGe translation was released in 1997.
