(Formerly cult-)classic JRPG set in "America," where 4 chosen kids go on a globe-trotting hijinks-filled adventure while meeting tons of eclectic characters, fight goofy enemies, drink psychedelic coffee, and listen to an amazing freakin' soundtrack. Some people go in expecting the greatest game ever made based on the praise Earthbound gets online, but it's more like a 7 or 8 out of 10 that gets bumped up to a 9 on its sheer charm alone; if you're on the fence, play up until the first Sanctuary guardian fight, its way more difficult than the rest of the game but offers a nice vertical slice of why people adore this absolute classic.
