Is mother 3 better than Earthbound?

[Propurty]

I recently downloaded the mother 3 translation, and I'm about halfway through the game (or so it seems).

Anyway, I love it; one of the best RPGs I've ever played.



But I've never played Earthbound, and since Mother 3 is a sequel, I'd imagine Mother 3 to be better.


Should I try Earthbound anyway?

Not as much Drama, but it ups that in hilariousness.

Mother 3 was made 12 years after Earthbound, so it's definitely better in a technical sense and allowed more to happen in the game.

I personally enjoyed Earthbound the most, though, but all three games in the series are awesome. You should give Earthbound a try (honestly, playing Earthbound and Mother before Mother 3 made some things in Mother 3 that much more special).

I find Mother 3 a little more serious (especially in the beginning of the game OMG ) but both games are equally awesome in my opinion xd

Alot Shorter But still amazing

You should definitely play Earthbound. Personally I think it was the best game ever created. However I have never played Mother 3. So I am in the same situation. I want to play Mother 3 smile

I say try all three they are not one of the best i have played they ARE the best games i have ever played in my life biggrin

Well obviously Mother 2 was the best because it had me in it. What is better than me?

Mother 3 had lots of drama going on. [[ Like, whoa. ]]
It was shorter and more easier since like someone said
it didn't have much dungeon-like places.

EarthBound was pretty long and a bit more
challenging to me since there were
times where u had to go through lots
of twists and turns to find certain
things and such. It was funny at times,
but not alot of drama going on like Mother 3.

But I liked both of them in the end.
