Is this worth playing? Give me the pro's and con's of it

This nigger right here has some actual taste.

...

Seems about right.
There's a childlike whimsy to it. Whenever the atmosphere gets a little too dark or serious, it turns up the weirdness to maintain that innocence, and occasionally tones it down enough to hit an emotional note. All this is somehow stays coherent and consistent with the game world. The presentation and story are the main selling points. Everything else is functional, but unremarkable.
Mother 3 was more enjoyable but less memorable. I'm not sure how much GBA emulation has improved over the years, but the combat can get pretty fucky if you've got delay or slightly inconsistent timing in your inputs.

It's been a while since I've played either.

SMRPG was from when Mario games were still good.

Paula a cute.

It's charming, but with shit ass cookie cutter JRPG gameplay. Play on easy, so you can mash through that shit.

Don't talk about gameplay if you haven't even gone past the title screen to check that there is no easy mode

Fun game that doesn't take itself or its genre seriously at all for the most part, save for a short bit at the end that can be a little macabre. When I read that phrase back, it sounds like I could also be describing Undertale.

The unfortunate matter is that Earthbound, while innocuous on its own, has an unfathomably toxic and repulsive legacy both inside its franchise and out. It's probably the one game in the series that didn't stand on ceremony about being some "masterpiece," or tout itself as reinventing story telling in a RPG setting. It's just a fun game, caught in the acidic sea of the reputation that surrounds it, its brothers, and future admirer counterparts.

How the fuck is that a pro in a rpg? Get the fuck out with your 8 hour cinematic experiences you fucking casual nigger

Really? I remember there being one. I haven't played the game in like ten years though.
