I do HIGHLY recommend however that you at least play EarthBound before playing MOTHER 3. MOTHER 1 is one of the most impressive, best playing and sounding RPGs on the NES, but it could potentially turn you away from the series if you aren't accustomed to or can't handle a bit of older-rpg "clunk". The community mostly unanimously agrees that you should play EarthBound before playing MOTHER 3. While most recommend to play EarthBound / MOTHER 2 first, some will say that if you can handle the way an older RPG plays, you should start with MOTHER 1 / EarthBound: Beginnings. This is a point of contention within the MOTHER community. So does that mean I should play the games in order? The game order is as released, with MOTHER being the first on the timeline, and MOTHER 3 being the last.
MOTHER 3 (?) (Not released outside of Japan) (2006) The series IS a trilogy, however each game can stand on it's own without the context of the last. Each line of dialogue is expertly crafted, with a great story to go along with it. The series is known for being quirky, charming, and invoking a sense of nostalgia even to those who have not played a MOTHER game before.
The MOTHER series is a group of 3 turn-based cult classic JRPGs created by Shigesato Itoi, who singlehandedly wrote every line of dialogue in the series, aside from a small area in EarthBound. Note: This thread is a strictly no-spoiler zone. With this stickied thread, I'm hoping to answer any questions someone may have about getting into the series. Over the past few months we've gotten a lot of new players asking where they should start with the trilogy.
