is Mother 1 still good? I have the attention span of a 5 year old so if it's long or tedious or requires a lot of grinding then you can count me the gently caress out

There's a better version than the original ROM, http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Community/PKHack/Mother-25th-Anniversary-Edition

I haven't played the first game, but you don't really need to to play Earthbound or Mother 3.

it's pretty bare bones (which is true of most jrpgs on the nes) and honestly, you're better off just going with 2 and/or 3.

I think you should give Skies of Arcadia a try.

Definitely also play Earthbound if it at all looks like your thing. You won't regret it.
