finished earthbound. it’s… good… I mean it’s better than I expected. still has way too many battles though, it’s the weakest part of the game but really becomes the main game from like midgame onward
was unexpectedly moved by several of the sound stone “Your Sanctuary” scenes
nice touch in the final boss fight with Paula. I feel the game sort of lacks narrative cohesion, but you know, whatever. would be interested to read an essay on it
