It's amazing the jump in quality-of-life and general intuitive controls that JRPGs underwent going from the NES to the SNES.
and it's still a better game than earthbound and mother 3
holy BASED FPBP
nes/famicom rpgs were really rough sometimes, particularly ones trying to use the Dragon Quest/Warrior 1 systems.
there are some good games in the genre at that time but some are so obtuse you need graph paper to not get permanently lost in a samey looking dungeon, Phantasy Star 1 on master system has some really confusing dungeons if you don't make maps.
In fact, it's the only good JRPG ever made
games before snes generation are not worth playing
fpwp
I love all of them, but
Gameplay: Mother 2 > Mother > Mother 3
Story: Mother 2 > Mother 3 > Mother
Music: Mother > Mother 2 > Mother 3
Based. Those are primitive proto games for historians
ohhh the clunkiness I can't stand the clunkiness
All of mother games are good, contrarian zoomer

Does the NSO version have the improvements from 1+2 on the GBA?
2/10 bait, apply yourself
No. I meant what I said. Fortunately, my subjective opinion is objectively correct.
>>Music: Mother > Mother 2 > Mother 3
KYS faggots
thats genuinely correct though. 1's music is the definitive soundtrack for the series, and like half or more of 2's music are just remixes of it

ah so you just have shit taste in general, carry on then
>terrible music taste
>AUDACITY to call others faggots
this is some high INT shitposting
even if this were true, let's talk about
>Gameplay: Mother 2 > Mother > Mother 3
how the fuck do you even justify this? i'm genuinely curious
>Story: Mother 2 > Mother 3 > Mother
Earthbound doesn't even have a story, faggot.
>Does the NSO version have the improvements from 1+2 on the GBA?
Hey retard. NSO uses the Earthbound beginnings ROM which is basically just the original unreleased Mother 1 localization.
take a shower, smashfag.

Please understand, they are all very good.
Mother had Pollyanna, Queen Mary's Castle, the Melodies, the title theme, and a lot of other great tracks.
Mother 2 had the sound stones and the weirder jazzy tone that I loved, but not as many memorable melodies.
Unfounded Revenge is the only one I really loved from Mother 3. Love Theme is okay. The rest is good, but not as memorable as I really like.
3 mogs 1 and 2's OST
mother 3 is a tranny game.

take your meds and a 'better taste in games' pill too, you really need em
>trannies are ok when nintendo does them
Mother 2 is a straight improvement on Mother's gameplay, which is mostly straightforward JRPG play.
Mother 3 had the fun action music combat system, but only for normal attacks, and too many characters just get pigeonholed into being support or item whores more than anything else. If every non-item ability took advantage of the rhythm mechanic, it would have been 10/10 for me. As-is, the fun music combat didn't really feel like it fit together well enough with the rest of the bog-standard JRPG stuff. It's more a mixed bag, with more potential than execution of the potential.
>Earthbound doesn't even have a story, faggot.
Earthbound's story is a straight continuation of Mother's. There's plenty of story in Earthbound if you pay attention while you play.

Anyone ever watch the Ridgway Films live action series of Earthbound?
Mother 1 music is barely listenable what are you talking about? NES music is ear rape
dont you have a fortnite match to play and a stream to donate to?
For sure. The fourth generation was when JRPGs started to get good.
>NES music is ear rape
play a Megaman game or two
>Earthbound's story is a straight continuation of Mother's. There's plenty of story in Earthbound if you pay attention while you play.
It's loosely tied at best.
Even the melodies being in Earthbound is a pretty fucking tenuous connection.
They were originally the lullaby Mary sung Giygas, in Earthbound they're just there because it's a sequel and they didn't want to invent new story aspects.
>Earthbound's story is a straight continuation of Mother's.
There's nothing to suggest that, it's more of a retelling.
You a child or something?
>Even the melodies being in Earthbound is a pretty fucking tenuous connection
The melodies are different between the two games.
>There's nothing to suggest that
>villain from the first game literally returns
i always imagined their voices somewhere between a chain smoking old woman and a man who had recently been kicked in the nuts.
think fran drescher but with a deeper voice
It's literally only the same name. They have nothing else in common.
>Earthbound's story is a straight continuation of Mother's.
nice headcanon dickface

Learn to be more specific with your criticism.
Even with maps the PS dungeons are terrible because everything looks the same, there is no compass and later areas have pitfalls that send you to other floors and disorient the fuck out of you. A lot of early JRPGs had scummy design choices to sell game guides.
Earthbound's story is literally "random shit happens dude coffee lmao" it's incoherent gibberish
but..it is? Like the last bosses are literally named as the same thing (at different times ) so they're definitely connected.
