I don't know about recommending it first, but there are a lot of younger fans (i.e. the Tumblr demographic) who rave about it having the best story and full of "feels" and shit.

That's how I got pretty much every major plot development spoiled for me despite never playing the game. Llike an idiot, I decided to wait for NOA to finally come around to releasing it, because I wanted everything to be as perfect as it was when I first played EarthBound; no hassling with emulators and translation patches and flash carts, just me playing a game as Nintendo intended it. But by exposing myself to blubbering fan autism on DeviantArt and other places, I had all the "sad" parts of the game ruined for me. Playing EarthBound was a hallmark of my youth, but now I'll never be able to get the same satisfaction from MOTHER 3 and I have no one to blame but myself.

Moral of the story? Don't place such a high value on having the perfect experience playing a game that you miss your window of opportunity to enjoy it while its still new.
