It's not exactly the same thing, as it's an action RPG, but the Princess Remedy games have a similar feel to me. Plus, like with all good drugs, the first one is free!

Want a ye olde looking RPG? I'd suggest giving Secret of mana on the snes a go. Was one of my favourite childhood games to play.

Oh yes, I actually have played it years back but another playthrough is probably in order. Same goes for Chrono Trigger!

Oooh Chrono Trigger yes! Though if you can run it I'd suggest trying out a Nintendo DS emulator. Because the version of Chrono Trigger on the DS, though not changing much of what was originally there, added a lot more stuff. So I would definitely say to emulate the DS version instead. More content = Whoot! (Though the extra dungeon, the singing mountain, frustrated me to no end)

I've never heard of Earthbound until now, so I can't recommend anything like it. I haven't played Undertale either, but it's on my wish list.

BUMP for Earthbound!
I think you meant "Knuckle" Sandwich ;D

IB looks like it may be a really nice game actually.
Also i got Lisa in my wishlist so its definitely worth checking out for sure .
And boot hill heroes is cool :P
Ah and Omori look like it may be fun to play !

I'm about to take a trip soon, and I'll only have my less powered laptop to play on for a couple months. Earthbound (Mother 2) for the Super Nintendo is one of my all time favorite games, and I'm looking for some other similar RPG's that I can play. If you haven't played Earthbound yet, do yourself a favor and get a SNES emulator and give it a go. I'm probably due for a replay pretty soon myself.
Games like EB
Mother 3 - The long awaited sequel to Earthbound, and it did not disappoint. You'll need the Mother 3 ROM, a GBA Emulator, and the Mother 3 Fan Translation to play. Do it!
Undertale - I didn't buy into the hype train, but when I finally played oh man was I a happy camper; the praise is not undeserved.
LISA - A darker sort of RPG with adult themes, but still an emotionally charged and powerful game.
Boot Hill Heroes - Basically Earthbound in the wild west. The story dragged a little at some parts, but still a great game and awesome soundtrack.
Citizens of Earth - I followed this one eagerly before its release, but upon playing for a few hours it didn't really draw me in. Will pick it back up again at some point.
Why Am I Dead At Sea - Murder mystery in the Earthbound style, haven't played it yet but it's on my list.
Fan Games / RPG Maker and other inspired stuff. Haven't played any of these yet.
Mother 4 Fan Game - This is the one I'm really looking forward to. Been in development for several years now, but when it's finally released it should be great.
Mother: Cognitive Dissonance - Another fan game set in the Earthbound universe
OFF - Highly regarded French surreal adventure RPG that has been translated into English. Want to play soon.
Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden - RPG starring basketball star Charles Barkley. Heard good things about this one.
Space Funeral - Interesting art style, looks kind of darker & bloodier like LISA.
Yume Nikki - Heard this was pretty creepy & surreal
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass - Don't know much about this one, definitely looks Earthboundy
IB - Another creepy one, looks similar to OFF
Patty and Mr Piles - Someone recommended this one, don't know much about it either
Upcoming Games
Knuckle Sandwich - After Mother 4 Fan, the game I'm most anticipating
Crossing Souls - More of the "new 16bit" style that is popular these days. Government conspiracy plot reminiscent of Stranger Things (not a bad thing!)
Omori - I can't say I love the black-and-white palate but the story looks interesting.
Ikenfell - Like the art style here, kinda draws from Zelda and Earthbound
GLITCHED - Yep, looks very much like Mother 3. Don't know much about it.
Please share and discuss any and all games in this genre.
