Otherwise, I'd say everything else more than makes up for it. I do have one tiny issue with the gameplay, and that's just that I don't feel they get enough spell variation or customability.
It fits right in with this odd world and really helps make it an enjoyable experience. Of all the music I've heard in RPG's I'd have to say Earthbound is some of the most fun.
The graphic texture and shape isn't always as quality is it seems it could have been, but then again it may have been a designer idea to keep it's feel very symmetrical, the rest of Earthbound is a very peculiar game, including the color schemes, which shift from bright and vibrant, 60's-esque townships to feeling like you've just been slipped 10 hits of acid and you're in an art museum. It took me a while originally to start, the beginning, which would be just about my only complaint, gave no real feel of involvement in the game, no backstory, or other things I tend to enjoy seeing in an RPG. This game was fantastic, seriously one of my favorites. I have played a TON of RPGs throughout my gaming history, both old and new, though I would have to say the majority of my knowledge and expertise actually lies with older games.
