      Been playing through Earthbound and streaming it for my girlfriend a bit lately. Its really enjoyable. The early game is SO difficult and even after you get party members the inventory management can be annoying, but the writing is so clever that its all very worth it. I am admitedly using an exploit to make PP management not as much of a worry at my girlfriend’s recomendation and I’m worried its making the game too easy lol, but I’m still having a very good time exploring what the game has to offer.

      I’m really excited to try Mother 3 as well. Though that might be a bit because me and my gf agreed I stream me playing Earthbound for her, then she streams her playing Chrono Trigger for me, before we do Mother 3.

        yea earthbound is pretty difficult in the beginning (the first boss is kinda shit) and then gets more easier… until fourside and then the last “your sancturary” location

        mother 3 in many ways is different from earthbound, its less surrealistic, more story-based and combat is a bit more streamlined but its also Super Good. both of them are one of my favourite games, i hope you enjoy mother 3 when you get to it :::D
