This is such a beautiful game and probably my favorite JRPG of all time. I really liked Earthbound too, but Mother 3 is on a whole other level. The story is emotional and incredibly heartbreaking but still can be very silly and cute. The characters are fun, memorable, and super relatable. Making sad moments even more depressing. And I'll even admit this game made me teary eyed multiple times. I even cried during the game's final hours (I mean how can you not?) The music is very catchy and is filled with countless bangers (Master Porky's Theme goes hard but Theme of Love is my favorite) and the game even has a unique battle system where you get additional hits on enemies if you time your button presses to the battle song's beat. Which I find really fun and I wish more games did that. I understand why it will probably never get an official NA release considering some of the themes in this game but I still would highly recommend everyone play this game with an emulator and English patch. It's definitely worth playing even if you never played Earthbound or Mother 1.
