If you have played Earthbound, is Mother 1 still worth a play?
I have played earthbound many times before I played mother. If you are a huge fan of the series, yes it's worth playing. But it's not necessary, earthbound is almost more of an enhanced remake than a sequel. Sure, there are some differences, but nothing compared to mother 3.
That's how I always saw it. I have Mother 3 ready to go. I always have Mother 3 ready to go, yet I barely get anywhere in it. Maybe after I finish Final Fantasy.
I loved Earthbound, and grinded for at least the home run bat (I think that was Ness' best weapon). Mother 3 just either doesn't hook me immediately, or maybe things always came up. Any spoiler free input on the situation is welcome
Actually happened to me too. I'm pretty far into the game but I made the mistake of trying to play 2 JRPGs back to back. The older I get, the less I'm able to grind that much. I have to switch up genres between my main gaming love of RPG to something else in between to not get burnt out.
That's actually what I am afraid of. Although, I don't know if I unintentionally grind, or if I'm just the only person that never runs from a random encounter. Final Fantasy I has been a cake walk, I've pretty much always felt over leveled if anything
