To be fair to him, time trials don't really constitute extra content on their own. Time trials are just "do this gameplay segment again, but don't take your time or you lose", which does not add much except for extra playtime. But like arcsig said, if the game mechanics are fun then it's not a big deal because going fast will also be fun.

It's kind of like cheap and lackluster. I just really don't care for beating poo poo within a time limit.

Now something that takes a similar amount of effort and would be more interesting would be to play through the same stages but backwards and upside down. To me that sounds way better than "Beat X:XX Time" because you'll wind up playing the stages over and over again a few times for some of the harder time trials anyways.

I'm so glad video games no longer give you actual content if you 100% them, and instead give you a dumb achievement or a shiny star next to your save file. I spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to get all the gold medals in Sonic Adventure 2 because I wanted to see the goddamn extra stage. Turns out it's lovely and broken, but still.

Please don't compare Earthbound to Person, it is very insulting to the ghost of Iwata.

There's also nothing to compare Earthbound and Persona 4 except their country of origin and that they both have turn based combat.

EarthBound and Persona are both very good, and absolutely nothing alike in any way shape or form and good for entirely different reasons when they do have any remote similarities

As others have said get a PS TV, it's seriously costs as much as a game at this point and the only RPG that has issues with the system is the newest Ys.
