You are just an average 13 year old kid from the suburbs.until the night a meteor lands in your backyard. No dragons, mystical knights, or staff-wielding wizards appear in this game. The story is set in the 1990s in Eagleland, a kitschy and romanticized parody of America (perfect lawns and quiet suburbs). EarthBound introduced, and even today continues to introduce, RPG fans to an entirely different experience. No other game was like it, except maybe its prequel, MOTHER, which had not been released outside of Japan. Few games dared to defy this mold until EarthBound (MOTHER 2 as it is known in Japan).
Most were still set in medieval times, with knights and mages battling mythical monsters with swords and magic.
In 1995, RPGs were stuck in a rut that Dragon Quest had dug.
