But.
How would you know when to hit? There's nothing indicating when your (Insert weapon here) will hit them, is there?
Ooh, I know another good topic that isn't necessarily big enough to start a THIRD thread on.
What, do you think, Giygas is?
it's timed to the music
basically you hit the enemy to the beat of the song that's playing during the battle
thats why I said you have to be good; apparently it's hard to hit a 16x combo
RE: Earthbound or Chrono Trigger? - Ton - 07-24-2010
They're both really awesome games. Chrono Trigger is kind of the gold standard for RPGs so it's a bit difficult to appreciate Earthbound if you don't know the tropes involved with the genre first. CT, imho, is the perfect RPG, but it's not my personal favorite. FF6 is my fave.
In fact, play almost any RPG on the SNES and you won't be disappointed. FF4, FF6, CT, SMRPG, and Earthbound are all 5-star games.

if you want to enjoy the timed hits in mother 3, play it on a cartridge. it does not work on emulators
RE: Earthbound or Chrono Trigger? - Vipershark - 07-24-2010
that too
apparently no emulator can play mother 3 at 100% at all times, so that makes it even harder to hit the combo.
even 99% speed throws off the timing.

Earthbound for setting, Chrono Trigger for mechanics. Earthbound's battle system is entirely uninteresting.
RE: Earthbound or Chrono Trigger? - JackMan - 07-24-2010
Eh. Don't trust Ebay, Gamestop won't have them.
So, i guess i'll stick to Earthbound.
What a shame. Thanks for the advice, though.
Should RPG's have reply value, though? That's something that in Chrono Trigger i wouldn't be necessarily excited in.
Long freakin game, that.

It's a hell lot more original compared to chrono tiger and fucking shitty fantasy if you consider how many mid-evil inspired games there were at the time.
wh
ff6 is the best rpg on the snes what are you talking about
if you wanted to play another boring rpg with fucking knights and dumb shit like that then yes it would be good.
I stopped caring for that kind of stuff because the whole concept became boring after 4.
Oh yeah and I forgot about SMRPG too, that one is pretty good too, but really, get earthbound.
I could list so many reasons why you should get it, one of which is that it's different from the norm. and another is that the whole game proves that gameplay is twice as more important then the graphics (Which, are pretty decent considering how simple they are)

Have you played it on PSP, Emulated? Cause I can nail some good notes on that shit.

Don't start a fight

But I have no desire to do so
So... stop.
