If you're never played Earthbound and perhaps never will, I think this is honestly as good an overview as anything else. AVGN doesn't do just trivia or make a conventional review, but combines the themes of EB to the lore of his own show. In the end this gets what fans love about EB through better than yet another retrospective with "OMG THE BACKGROUNDSSS!!!"

You jest but honestly I think the connections are pretty slim outside of direct in game references, a few reused assets and Toby Fox's loudly proclaimed fanhood. Both games toy with meta concepts (but take it into very different directions), you probably should talk to everyone just for the enjoyment of it and characters may lose their souls. I honestly don't think there's much of a connection otherwise, really, the themes are quite distinct, for one.
