>>2766058>liking a game any less because of the fanbaseFinal Fantasy VI's battle system was also not the best (lol cast Ultima on everything), but it's one of my favorite games on the SNES because to the characters, presentation and setting. Honestly, if you want well-balanced battle systems for JRPGs that are actually interesting to use, the SNES may not be the right console for that, because almost all of them degenerate into "press fight/attack a lot" or "use gamebreaking skills a lot".
FFVI also has a pretty vocal fanbase. Do you hate it, too?
Earthbound is interesting because it was a JRPG that took place in modern times unlike the dozens of copy-paste fantasy-era JRPGs. It's interesting because it has good humor and a world that's fun to explore. It's interesting because it's different. Who fucking cares about the fans? Don't visit
starmen.net if you don't like them, we don't have obsessive Earthbound fans on /vr/, since, like most people, we can appreciate the game for what it is: a run-of the mill JRPG that separates itself from a genre that was oversaturated with samey games through setting, humor and storytelling. Obviously it stands out, it was designed to.
