Earthbound is an RPG about a young boy named Ness who is destined to save his world of Onett. With the aid of three other characters, Ness travels around the various parts of his world, searching for clues to stop invaders from the future. An interesting addition to this game is the fact that you no longer need waste time on low level enemies, because if you are considerably stronger than the enemy, they will be defeated without a battle sequence, and experience and items will be received, saving you time and making your journey faster. Each character has unique abilities and skills, giving you a wide variety of choices. This is a very good game, has a good story, and is definitely worth playing if you didn’t play it back in the day.
