EB is pretty unique in terms of its tone and writing. Although good mother 1 and mother 3 do have a different feel to them. Mother 1 is more light hearted and fantastical, reminds me of a ghibli film in some ways. Mother 3 is more story focused. The actual gameplay is improved but dungeons and its design in general is more linear. Both are absolute masterpieces but quite different.

DQ is what the series was based off of in terms of game design. Very high quality series but quite different in terms of writing.

There have been "clones" of EB but none of them understood what made it so special, I say ignore then.
