Earthbound is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo underrated. easily my favorite game ever

I rented this when it came out, but didn't get far and never felt the urge to revisit it. perhaps my adolescent mind couldn't process the whimsy, or I was annoyed by the sneaky difficulty (the first couple hours are harder than most of the game)...but now I see the light.
hilarious irreverence of Dungeons and Dragons-styled RPGs, fantastic music, little to no grinding and memorable characters. the localization is absolutely superb, like Working Designs but less sophomoric. loved this.

FFVI (III) replay for the 10+th plus time and also finally going to get all the CT endings(already did the hardest one with just Chrono at the start of the game, my team of Chrono + Glenn + Magus is almost maxed out. I know they don't have any triples together which is a damn shame but those are my three favorite characters so they were my only choice really lol)!

Like FF1 and 2, there were no save points in the final dungeon, so you gotta go through that and then beat the final boss(es) in one sitting. Not a good feeling when you get a game over and lose an hour's progress.

Right after you flee the returners hideout, you have the river part where you have the infinite loop.....being the crazy rpg kids that we were/are lol, we got to level 20 (one hit kills against every enemy at that point) and then taped down the A button on a turbo controller...for 3 straight nights lol. Saban bum-rush or Terra ultima on Ultros ftw!
Just FYI: Our other go-to area for leveling up was on the Floating Continent....in addition to the ninja enemies, there's a monster-in-a-box fight (it's Hades Gigas, dude looks like a yoked Charlie Villanueva with a receding mullet and diamond in his forehead) where if you kill off all of your own characters except one (Celes because she's the first character you get afterwards and so every character will be at her level), you get ridiculous experience points. Also, unlike the ensuing iterations on PS and GBA, you actually keep all your earned experience points while keeping all the items you had at the save so you can rinse and repeat. We have a level 50 and a level 85 save here.
Lastly, best area to level up espers....the desert right outside Miranda (where you also get the Shadow-Realm dreams so you can level up while potentially dreaming while you recover at the inn.) 10 MP from Cactrot and 5 MP from the ugly, hoover vac looking monster(vanish -> x-zone works every time on this thing).

thats how long I have been playing Final Fantasy 3, and I have never beat it. Over time I will find a Snes play it for a while then stop, or emulate it on my psp, now I have it on my Wii and iphone. Its my favorite RPG ever, but I have never finished it, I think the closest I got was the floating continent...weird huh.

>think the closest I got was the floating >continent...weird huh.
I don't want to give anything away, but ummm...the floating continent is a game changer. If that's as far as you got and you think you almost beat the game, PLEASE revisit FF3.
