This game essentially takes what made Mother 1 and Mother 2 great and expanded upon it, while simultaneously fixing the major issues plaguing each game. The story is excellent, a huge upgrade from the previous titles. The gameplay is similar to Mother 2, but is expanded with more fun options and fixes encounters by making them easier to avoid at times. Grinding never felt like an issue at all, and the chapter structure was great early on to introduce the cast from different perspectives. Also, this is easily one of the best soundtracks I've heard. This game is packed full of amazing songs throughout, and I can't say that I really dislike any of them. Hopefully someday more people can enjoy this game, at least in an official capacity.
