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.
