A Game Worth Paying For

[Koopaul]

Because I enjoyed the story and characters

and the Traditional Battle System is quite fun

The other Mario RPGs are fun too, but they aren't THE Super Mario RPG

As a matter of fact, SMRPG was the game that first really introduced me to the genre all together
Before that, I wouldn't give an RPG the time of day


Thanks SMRPG

Just as I thought. It's just nostalgia. So many people want to see a new game like this but I think it would just be going backwards. You see I think SMRPG started off with some great ideas of how to capture Mario in an RPG setting, but wasn't perfected until Paper Mario.

The gameplay of the later RPGs managed to fully grasp the Mario style of attacking (the whole jumping on spikey enemies hurt). The very designs and world and characters of the later RPGs capture the Mario-esque mood too.

To go back to that style and gameplay would be like going back to make Mario platformers with the same physics as the first SMB. With the camera not going backwards and everything!

I think it's okay to want to have Mallow or Geno or whoever come back in some new game, that would be great! But to completely go back to that kind of gameplay and style just seems foolish.
