EDIT: Note, this is not just the SNES Earthbound. Theres also Earthbound Beginnings on NES and Mother 3 on GBA. So when I say underrated, I talk about the series as a whole, not just one game.
A few days late, but lets take a moment to look back at the game that broke the archaic jrpg formula that was flooding the market with the same dragons and dungeon fantasy themes. To this day, this is the only JRPG setting (modern world) that I can enjoy, but Mother series did not only bring us a fresh new world to explore, it made fun of a lot of JRPG tropes (Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy) so its arguably the first JRPG to not take itself too seriously (with the exception of Mother 3).
So anyway, heres a long celebration video by the Japanese fans (Eng subs included).
Warning!< Some otaku/cringe humour >
BTW this needs to be here too, the N64 version of Mother 3 that was scrapped.
This thread is basically an excuse for everyone to go play Mother 3. Sure, its kinda hard to find the roms these days, but its worth the effort for the masterpiece.
