The game that started it all, Mother 1 aka Earthbound Beginnings is an interesting game with a deeply involved History.
I will admit this is my least favorite of the Mother games, a sentiment shared by many. However, I do not believe this is a dull experience or one worth skipping.
If anything this games developement, Itois life story behind this game and its content elevate it a bit for me, far above most NES offerings. Sure this game has its flaws, I will never say its perfect. Some segments are down right unfair like Mt.Itoi, but at the same time it has a lot to offer and really shows how far the series came going forward with Earthbound and Mother 3.
The music is also fairly exceptional for the NES/Famicom, and ill never take that away from it even if the narative isnt the strongest even for the era.
