Paper Mario 2 is the only good RPG.
O_O oh god, those are an abomination to RPGs... Every... single... one of them... >_<
How so? Super Paper Mario wasn't so good aside from its story, but the other two are just fine. They aren't your typical RPGs, which makes them good.
It's the fact that they were designed and marketed to small children in Japan that makes them abominations Westerners seem to eat it up, and they just laugh it off because the gaijin adults are playing with their children toys
I don't quite understand. They were abominations because they were meant for kids, just like any other video game out there?
Yup, like Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto, etc etc etc
But in all seriousness, the difference is that "Paper Mario" was in development as "Mario RPG for Small Children"; the entire series (sans Mario RPG itself) was meant for children between the ages of 3 and 5.
