Today is Mother 2's anniversary, so I'll go with Ness.

chrono trigger, earthbound is fucking boring and terribly written

>> No.6768992

I've always enjoyed Chrono Trigger more, played through it several times, could never get into Earthbound. So I gotta go with Chrono Trigger

It might be awesome on a design or charming level, but eechnically is an absolute mess. the inventory system, the asving system are so archaic they belong to the Nes era.

CT is brilliant in every aspect, it does everyhting right.

Why the fuck are you retards comparing Chrono Trigger to Mother 2?

>implying chrono trigger doesnt also have shit writing

>> No.6769062

I'll always prefer an ambitious weird thing with harsh edges to an impeccably made thing that have been done before, so earthbound

both are great, though.

Why do people like Chrono Trigger? I'm not trying to be arrogant, I really don't understand why it is specifically meant to be good.

It has on point writing for the target audience. I don't get you people who expect a great work of literature out of a children's game by the dragon ball guy.

gorgeous looking with combat that feels good and a fun central story hook with memorable characters

it's like the platonic ideal of a snes jrpg, made by a bunch of creators people already loved from that era

Is Earthbound really ambitious, really?

>> No.6769109

>>6769089
yep! obviously not in terms of combat, but in terms of theming, tone and voice, it's like nothing else from that era, and changed a lot about what the rpgs that followed could look like

>> No.6769119

>>6769109
>but in terms of theming
How? There's tons of games that have similar themes of friendship, love and camaraderie. Shit, this is the same year Monster World 4 came out and they actually did the friendship and love thing through game play not just text on screen.

Why is Earthbound so poorly written and meandering in its script in pacing?

Reddit and e-celebs told me I should love EarthBound, so it's obviously the best game ever!

>> No.6769172

it's not (just) about friendship and love, though; there's a lot in there about identity, alienation, childhood neglect/trauma, police brutality...

The writing is arguably worse in the Japanese version, since the humor relied more on pop culture references that can become dated

It's amazing to me how much Earthbound makes /vr/ seethe. I don't get why an off beat dragon quest parody makes so many autists here fly into a rage.

I am pretty sure that every post on 4chan is made by a somewhat high level ai used by glowies, but unironically this.

No need to compare 2 awesome games. Besides it's unfair to compare anything to CT that doesn't end in sevens.
