It may be a low blow by Atlus' localization staff, and its certainly a joke that only internet-savvy gamers would understand, but it fits the game's tongue-in-cheek self-referential style seen at E3. Atlus is apparently going for high art in execution while still keeping things light and fresh, which will keep the Earthbound comparisons rolling until people actually play the game.

If it were "just the obvious" then that smug, little smiley wouldn't be there...

The only ones i can think of are:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced
Baten Kaitos (only becuz u are a spirit or whatever in the game)
MegaMan Battle Network (sorta becuz of the net world and the real world)
Eternal Darkness (...well its more like u play as a character that is playing through a book:confused
Viewtiful Joe (sort of cuz u play a character who plays in a movie world?)
Either way i think none of these have made the concept as compelling as Contact so im definitely(hah didn't use "defiantly" :thumbsup keeping an eye on it.
