>>3968852Earthbound is a fun game though maybe a little slow for people not used to it. I'd say the main draw is the humor. I wouldn't say that it is particularly high in sho content though the main party members are mostly male.
If you play it, keep in mind that your health ticking down when you take damage means that you don't take all the damage at once. So, acting quickly in the late game to heal or end a battle does make a difference.
