Both are overrated but Chrono Trigger deserves its praise a little more.

Overrated? o.O You must be joking

I kid you not.

I haven't played either of these games yet (sacrebleu) so shouldn't really be commenting on this post, but i seen a few posts mentioning the first part of Chrono Trigger were boring. Personally i have not played a RPG yet that does not take at least 45min-1 hour to get into, i thought this was just how all RPG's are due to the genre often having slower paced often more complex gameplay than the average game. I just always assumed they required a degree of patience to get into the game.

Never played Earthbound, so I'm going with Chrono Trigger. That game is just too good!

I agree entirely.
