16-Bit Gems #11: EarthBound - The Review (SNES)

Roo finishes off EarthBound-a-palooza with a thorough review of the game itself.  By examining the story, writing, graphics, music (good God, the music), and all the other little touches that make EarthBound great, hopefully you'll feel compelled to give this king of the overlooked games a playthrough - whether it's your 1st or your 101st time.

Just as Earthbound and Persona, Grandia uses the same system.

If you start the encounter by surprise you get the first hit. If they ambush you, they do.

Ah, see I knew the system was too good for it to go almost completely unused in other games.  Thanks for the tip.
