Even Paper Mario 64 wasn't that much of an RPG, and leaned a bit more on the adventure nature of the game. Can't speak about Thousand Year Door though, haven't played it. Hope The Origami King takes Super Paper Mario as inspiration(for world exploration and stuff, since we know the gameplay is turn based). That game was by far the best Paper Mario that I have played, and an excellent game(outside of Thousand Year Door, because I haven't played it as I said). |
TTYD was essentially PM64 but bigger better etc... you'd find a significant amount was lifted from PM64 in it which may impact your experience, many fans started with TTYD so didn't mind how ever the dev team weren't keen on repeating that approach for future games hence why they all tried different core mechanics.
