Earthbound Beginnings (/Mother 1) is grindy as all hell, but damn if it isn't endearing in its own cutesy, offputting way. The music is lovely, and the enemies are creative and entertaining. I'll not say anything about the plot, cuz I'm just now getting Lloyd, but I've it's one of the game's stronger aspects.I do wish there was a bit more explicit direction as to where I'm supposed to go, since the random encounter rate seems so high and I dont want to waste time, but the game's charm keeps me from being mad at it for too long.
