Zero relation to Mother 2/Earthbound - well except for some elements, but it's highly irrelevant.

It's 8 chapters + prologue by the way, some very short some long as hell - worst is 3 - where you play as...no, not spoiling.
But hang on, the best is yet to come. Chapter 5, if I'm not mistaken is superb.

from what I've played,the game is pretty superb especially the chracters...the combat system is pretty weak in terms of depth though

Combat is actually very very deep. Try to master the rhythm based aspect now, or else you'll be in trouble later. You can do 16 hit combos with it. One character has a ability to listen to the heartbeat of enemies (rhythm of the music combo), use it constantly to get the hang of it.

Another thing to watch is the HP counter in mother... you'll receive a lot of mortal hits from enemies, but you have some time to either kill the enemy of heal yourself before the counter reaches zero.
