Why is Earthbound so Much Better than Chrono Trigger?

Our new writer Walter is one-hundred percent positive that a face off between Earthbound vs. Chrono Trigger would end with Earthbound ripping and tearing and coming out the undeniable victor.

Why does one have to be better than the other?

TheOptimist2247d ago

Nothing wrong in comparing two pieces of art. Comparing is an invariable cause of competition and we all know competition inspires growth.

Yes these are old games, but the argument that one piece of art cannot/should not be compared to another is simply regressive in nature.

Godmars2902247d ago

Because these games are old, there's no point whatsoever to compare them in an effort to "inspire growth". The only thing its going to do is rally the hardcore fanbase of each title to argue.

Because one is from Nintendo and the other is not. There is a certain need to rewrite the past in a way that appeals to a particular fan base.

Godmars2902246d ago

Your point is moot: neither were directly made by Nintendo, yet both were made under their umbrella during the SNES days.

rainslacker2246d ago

They're both great games of their era, and I can see why one would be considered better than the other without any kind of appropriation placed on it in the interest of bias to support one's agenda.

IMissJimRyan2246d ago

Earthbound is a Nintendo trademark. Chrono Trigger is a Square one.

knifefight2246d ago

Yeah. Godmars290: you're a little bit off though.
Earthbound was indeed made directly by Nintendo. Satoru Iwata himself stepped in and did some critical programming for it. Chrono Trigger appeared on the Super Nintendo in its first release, but was developed wholly by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) and even went on to get re-releases on PlayStation platforms. ^^;

Neonridr2247d ago

I mean at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Earthbound, Chrono Trigger and even Final Fantasy 3 (VI) are 3 utterly fantastic RPG's on the SNES. You could make an argument for any of those three to be one of the best RPGs out there.

Tross2246d ago

You're playing with fire, friend. That said, both are excellent games and are still very much worth playing if you have the means to.

SegaSaturn6692246d ago

I think CT is undisputably better but I have no urge to replay it. I always want to replay EB

Poopmist2246d ago

That's gonna be a no from me

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
