The earthbound series happens to be my favorite series of all time, and one of the best rpgs series ever, The music is incredible, the bosses are well designed and the story is well written and shown with characters with a lot depth. however between the 3 games the second and third were the best, but which one is better to me well lets find out.
Earthbound or Mother 2 ( In Japan ) is a game that is a imitation of america, it has very fun and cheery music but at times is very eery like when your in the and in the factory. The game has a very fun story, you have to ccemataryollect 8 melodies to gain the power to defeat a evil alien, but what i found funny is that your destiny is told to you by a bee from the future, yeah dont get much weirder then that, and another part that i found weird was when your in a town were theres a group that is trying to turn everything blue, this games weird and fun charm is not matched by any game, at least in my oppinion.
Earthbound 2 or mother 3 ( In Japan ) is game that takes place in the nowhere islands and the time is more of a village so more of the past then its predecessors. Its story is incredible, it even made me cry when the main characters mother died, there are almost very happy moments like when your able to save your friend stuck in a burning house, it also allows you to play as other characters which helps learn more then just the backstory of the main character which in turn improves your understanding of what happened in the past and the story in the game itself which is a detail that not many games have.
So which is better, Mother 3 is better in my oppinion because its story is much more detailed and allows for a emotional connection with its characters however earthbound is still a great experience and i recoomend this series to anyone who like rpg's.
I definetly prefer Mother 3 to earthbound, mostly because the battles aren't as boring in Mother 3 as they are in Earthbound. Earthbound always bugged me since it took hours of playing the game before you could get a second party member, you just had to deal with using Ness for the entire first part of the game. There's no real strategy for the first few hours, it's just "Bash people until your HP gets low, then heal."
