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.

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.

Someone made a flowchart on what to play after finishing the series.

If you're willing to check out non-RPGs, then I highly recommend Star Tropics (which is on the flowchart). The best way to describe it as a cross between MOTHER (setting) and The Legend of Zelda (gameplay). An interesting thing to note is that Star Tropics is a first-party Nintendo game that's never been released in Japan despite being developed there.
Another thing is that there's a point where you'll need to get a password off of the Internet. The game originally came with a letter from the protagonist's uncle that contained the password, which would only be revealed by dipping the letter in water.
