Mother Novels · 7:31pm Jul 10th, 2022
For all the Mother/Earthbound fans out there, did you know that there were official novels of Mother (Earthbound Beginning) and Mother 2 (Earthbound)? Well, I just found out today.
I was randomly recommended a video that just came out, revealing about the existence of these novels. It said about how these novels never were successfully translated outside of Japan until recently. And now, you can read these novels in English there:

I obviously intend to read them. Especially the Mother 2 one. They will help me a lot to better know the personalities of the characters of the games. Hopefully, what I already wrote in the story is already close enough.
Well that sure is Gonna be Helpful. There also could be extra details about world and the Lore that didn’t make it to the Games(assuming the Novels happens on the Same Continuity as the Games,of course.)

Well, so far from what I have read in the first novel, this seems to follow the first Mother's continuity. However, strangely, the writer decided to write the beginning from Ana's point of view through her visions of the hero's start of his adventure. Actually, from the synopsis, the book itself seems to put Ana as the main character instead of the game's hero. That's certainly an original choice. But as a result, the beginning of Mother is rather glossed over until Ana meets the hero, which is a big part of the adventure already.
