A very good game, if one that I did not become as attached to as Earthbound. Gameplay's a bit improved with less problems with item storage and save points and rhythm based bashing to have more player activity in turn based combat. While the story is a lot more involved than Earthbound's with some strong emotional points (especially at the end), I do think the early chapters switching focus between characters feels more scattershot, and the shifts between quirky and serious don't feel as earned as Earthbound's (very quirky but gets quite serious at the end) or Undertale's (good balance between quirky and serious). Still a worthy game that everyone should play, and one that Nintendo should make widely available at some point, even with its more adult subject matter
