This I can agree with. Love is the most important thing.

As that other anon said, Mother 1 comes from an era where games were less "safe" than they are today. It's very easy to get in over your head and end up underleveled or off the beaten path and without healing items if you don't know you need to prepare. The encounter rate is also quite high, and there's a lot of space between towns, way more than regular Earthbound, which is how most people end up hearing about Mother 1.
People nowadays are used to being coddled and Mother 1 does not fucking hold your hand or even attempt to.

I've played that. It comes across as very unpolished, but it had a certain charm to it.
There was a lot of love put into that game and it really shone through. I greatly enjoyed it.
