Even someone who actively stays away from Japanese RPGs will have heard of the legendary game Earthbound — it's as great as Final Fantasy 10. Also known as Mother 2, Earthbound is easily one of the most unique games on the list, it tells a surreal story that is very grounded in reality... however, it's weirder than most of the rest of the Japanese RPGs.Earthbound serves as the main inspiration for Undertale, which is more than enough to illustrate how iconic the title really is.
