A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Games like Mother (self.patientgamers)

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.

The reason the Mother series is so good is because it’s completely honest and lacking self-conscienceness. A lot of games today make a fatal error: they draw too much attention to the author. This is especially the case with homage or tribute games. They don’t allow you to immerse yourself and have that pure experience because the game is chock full of these little reminders that you’re playing a video game.
