I can't discuss it. I'm so far that I'll just ruin it for everyone
Oh, and with regards to if it's better than Earthbound, I do not care for that game, since the combat is pretty bland and it's hard to figure what to do in a lot of spots. Mother 3 at least keeps my attention with the rhythm combat, and it's always pretty easy to figure out where to go, save for a few spots here and there. I'm probably in the minority, though.
