I might like these games even more than my favorite DQ games tbh. Anyway I think both games have their merits.

With Earthbound the thing I liked was how the towns and places you visited had this really distinct look with personality to them. In FF 6 all the towns mostly looked similar and bland like they could be from any generic 16 bit RPG but the towns in Earthbound were really fun to explore and just felt more interesting than most RPG places.

Mother 3 had less places to explore but instead created what was possibly the strongest story in any RPG. It's just so exciting and unique and constantly keeps you entertained and has some really gripping moments.

Both games have great music that explored a variety of styles which is unusual for RPGs. I think Mother 3 improved on combat.

That may be the quickest I have ever seen someone derail their own topic. Congrats.

Only played earthbound so... I dunno.

Not really a fan of it, I can see why people love it but I don't enjoy bizarre stuff so much.

Man while I love the heck out of Earthbound, Mother 3 just gripped me a tad bit more. I loved the music (Mind of a Thief was my absolute favorite), the story hit me hard, and I really liked the fact you could work in more hits on the opponent if you just got rhythmic.

Earthbound had the more realistic setting, which I could appreciate, but maybe it was a tad more off the wall? For lack of better term. One thing that kinda irked me was that,

I actually always thought that was really cool how you had to do that ^^

Why are they shit? I've never played the games but I also never seen a dissenting opinion on the games either. Always see praise.

Narmy sounds like the sort of person that pisses in an innocent bystander's Cheerios in the morning just because deep inside, they are a crotchety, old man that can't derive pleasure out of anything.

I haven't played the games either, but I would sure love to someday. I just don't have a system (or an emulator) that can play them.

I have no idea how they work nor do I really have the energy to figure it out.

Aka. I'm a lazy ass factor.

Mother... Is that an RPG about incest?
Or do you play as a mommy? Like raise children and stuff.. kinda like harvest moon but instead of crops you make babies.

I could google it, but thats no fun.

This triggers me. x_x

Mother 3's story was crazy strong, Earthbound was wackier.
I prefer Mother 3 but Earthbound is right next to it as one of the best JRPGs out there.
