Summary
Join Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo in a sci-fi turn-based JRPG adventure as they fight a mysterious alien force named Giygas in a quirky land based off of the real world.
EarthBound (known as MOTHER2 in Japan) is a distant sequel to the original EarthBound Beginnings, with many characters, themes, and tunes borrowed from its predecessor. Many of the characters and settings are very similar, but the only explicitly returning character is Giygas, who swears revenge at the end of the first game.

this is a game i’ve started playiing a billion times but never got around to finishing. this run took me roughly 30 hours, starting at the start of the month and ending tonight (3:55am as i write this). some aspects of the game felt a bit tedious although as a whole it was a good experience – although a walkthrough is necessary if you’re as forgetful as i am! some of the “videodrugs” were really visually interesting and the soundtrack is a classic. i’ve been trying to finish this game since like 2014 so i’m happy i’ve finally done it
Originality- you'll never find a more unique take on a JRPG narrative than in this game. The rareness of the "real world" setting and the outrageous nature of the characters and plot points can only be found here... and the prequel/sequel of course. So unique.
Music- the entirety of the soundtrack is at once simple and at the same time memorable beyond comprehension. With such a variety and such interesting choices, you can go from enthralling to haunting from scene to scene.
Such a unique game, an amazing sense of humor wrapped up in an old-school RPG style. Basically a Dragon Quest Clone, but has it’s own spin on things. Very good music, great pacing. A classic.
