another good example of something that I'm sure was good enough at the time that is now overwhelmingly unremarkable

But SMRPG beats it

The original version of the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, is worse. So many professional shills were acting like it was the greatest Zelda games ever on release when it quickly turned out that that wasn't the case.

it was pretty funny when some game informer staff said on their replay show how bonkers it was that their magazine gave that game a 10

That's just the top brackets, but besides that, games got into the brackets in the first place based on how many people wrote them in IIRC. But put RPGs aside, SMRPG is in no way better than GTA V, MGS2, or MGS3 lol.

Super Mario RPG was revolutionary.

It was the first big 'almost 3d' game for the SNES. It took brave risks with the Mario IP. It combined Nintendo and Square. It had a great, memorable story and some of the best/funniest dialogue in an RPG period. Great level/world design in every single zone. Combines the Mario platforming with RPG elements.

Did the combat age well? No, but for its time it was incredible. No random encounters. Levels populated by roaming enemies(concept still used to this day).

I actually played both Super Mario RPG last year and Chrono Cross. Super Mario RPG is probably better. Chrono Cross does a lot right but also does some things really badly. Super Mario RPG isn't a masterpiece like Chrono Trigger, but it only has minor flaws at most.

And Breath of the Wild is the most overrated game of all time. I liked it, but I can't believe how willing people are to overlook obvious flaws it has.

This. If you're looking for a hardcore RPG you will undoubtedly find it a bit shallow and/or simple, but as a game that bridged platforming and RPG elements and introduced the Mario world, and a large number of gamers, to RPG gaming, it succeeded greatly.

Nope nowhere close. Final Fantasy VII is the most overrated and nowhere near as good as its fanboys want you to believe. Super Mario RPG is a great fun game and I never see anyone rating it as best RPG of all time.

This right here. Let's get rid of the cool unique dungeons and make 120 little 5 minute dungeons instead that all look identical. And the 4 big dungeons will also look the same as well as the bosses. Oh and let's just copy dead rising's combat and act like it's new and creative.

FF7 is definitely listed as the best RPG of all time by many people. It's often considered to be the best game of all time too
I dunno Ive looked up many lists and videos of best rpgs of all time and its never at the top, almost always Chrono Trigger or FFVI, I guess my experiencd may just be nostalgia at this point but theres nothing quite like the opening of FF7, the feels were there and I cant wait for FF7R part 2 despite the direction its seemingly taking

SMRPG doesn't. Nobody calls it a bad game at all. People just say it's overrated, because the nostalgia biased majority say it's better than later Mario RPGs that are massively superior

Yes it is. You either really arent trying to find it or are just being needlessly obtuse because FFVII has a shit ton of fanboys and there are many lists where it is listed at the top of best RPG lists over other much better games.

Arguments could be made for both Paper Marios but Superstar Saga is not overall a superior game.

I LOVED Superstar Saga lolo

It can't be. SMRPG is considered to be better than TTYD by a majority. But TTYD is a superior game by a wide margin.

SMRPG was the first RPG to feature the Timed Hits aspect of gameplay, which made the turn based battles far more engaging. I think it's properly rated, nor does it really have an armada of rabid fanboys.

FF7's main contribution to the RPG spectrum was the "unreliable narrator". Between its quality and its hype, there's a bigger disconnect. this is also how I think about BotW.

Nobody considers SMRPG better than TTYD.

Casual fans have no idea what SMRPG is. They might know Geno because he's a Mii costume in Smash Bros. It's a pretty average RPG for the era but most overrated game of all time is an exaggeration
