So I have a question ...
I finally got around to playing EarthBound (blind playthrough) and just recently completed it. I really enjoyed it, and at the time I thought that its only real major flaw was that it didn't really explain who or what Giygas was, beyond just a general evil entity. So I ended up looking up his bio to learn that, okay, the reason they didn't go into details was because his backstory was explained in Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings.
Now I really want to play Mother 3, because I really want to know where the Porky cliffhanger is headed. So my question is, should I go back and play EarthBound Beginnings first? I mean I already ended up looking up Giygas' bio and learning his whole deal; is there any other information that the first game offers that makes playing it worth it? Or should I just go ahead and move on to Mother 3. I ask because I had heard that EarthBound Beginnings is kind of a generic RPG compared to the others.
