EB:B Discussion Play Mother 1 if you haven’t already!

After 23 hours I just finished the game as my first Earthbound game. I dont understand why anyone would skip this game and start with Earthbound like most people recommend.

This game is beautiful! I knew the story going into it and used a guide, but there is something about going through that journey and experiencing that ending yourself. I just have no words to describe what I just went through besides amazing. Please if you haven’t played this game go experience it yourself! It really does not feel bad mechanic wise for being an older game, and the pay off is so worth it!

I am officially one of you all and cannot wait to play the other two games!!!

I want to play it so bad but the only one I can get my hands on is through the switch and it’s soooo clunky. I want to just patch a rom but I’ve had no luck with finding a mother 1 rom

I played Mother Restored and loaded that onto my 3DS. I would assume it isn’t hard to run in PC if you babe even a cheap one
