Are there other RPGs with combat like earthbound?

Hiya. I've played a bunch of final fantasy, dragon quest, and so on but none have hit quite like earthbound, especially later in the game. Earthbound has a unique approach where party progression is linear, but most upgrades are actually useful so you can take a bunch of different approaches. Like the rabbit's foot letting you cast psi shield before any fight begins, or you can just buy a million bottle rockets with jeff if you want, or do whatever. I mean yea this kinda exists in other RPGs but in 90% of them most battles are decided by your stats, how you play doesn't matter unless you do some inexplicably dumb moves
