So, I’m a big JPRG fan and just playing through Mother 3. I love Mother 2 (aka Earthbound) as well. I love the music, quirkiness, style, pacing, simple yet rewarding tactics in boss battles.

So, I would appreciate any game recommendations you have for a similar game or game series.

If it helps, my other favorite JRPGs are: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, 9, and 10.

    Great suggestions here already, I’ll throw a few more on top:

    • Omori (similar and often compared to Earthbound but the silly fun stuff gets darker and more serious as the story goes on)
    • Super Mario RPG (another Squaresoft JRPG from the era of Chrono Trigger and FFVI, very fun and satisfying turn-based combat mechanics, quirky to the max, Squaresoft really had a blast creating a Mario style world. The remaster just released for the Switch, but if you don’t have one then you can easily get a digital port of the original SNES version)

      Seconding omori, I played that recently for the first time and it was amazing.

      Also love the Lufia and breath of fire games, those are great recommendations
