Next Episode: Episode 6 - Earthbound (Part 2) [feat. ojjjuj]
In this episode, ojjjuj and I talk about Earthbound AT LENGTH. It's a mid-90s SNES JRPG (seems like I've typed something similar before) that can't be described without using the word 'unique'. The episode is accidentally a two-parter, but we'll need a third to finish the game off someday! Whoops!
We talk about where it fails as a game and what problems are overblown, the incredible, anachronistic music, the unique setting and NPCs, and more.
This episode covers from the beginning of the game to the middle of Fourside, and the second episode will cover the remainder of Fourside through Summers & Scaraba.

What a beautiful Duwang Miles Gloriosus (particularly around 1 minute in)
