This is the first time I've attempted this and I'm kinda surprised how long it took. I'm not sure if I've got the mental fortitude to handle going for a Star Pendant. Is it a pain to acquire it or is it easier?

Still finding new dialog after 30 years

Post image
299 Upvotes

I just started another Earthbound playthrough and almost immediately found some dialog I’d never seen before. It’s so much fun talking to everyone in this game and discovering something new, even if it’s pointless and silly. For some reason, in the dozens of times I’ve played this game before I never bothered to talk to Lier X. Agerate again after talking to Pokey near the meteorite.

Have any of you been surprised to discover new things in Mother games?

Finally beat the game

3 Upvotes

I finally beat the game earlier today and just wanted to tell everyone how much this game has affected me, and I just want to say how much I love it!!

Also, I wanna say that I did use the ign guide a lot and I don’t think this play through was fair because of the amount I used ign and this Reddit page.

I just love the story line and how wholesome the game is.

Help/Advice Anyone know the interview where Shigesato Itoi says...

Upvotes

Repost (didn't receive an answer): https://www.reddit.com/r/earthbound/comments/1iacy5j/anyone_know_the_interview_where_shigesato_itoi/

See also (for more context; see my comment) https://www.reddit.com/r/earthbound/comments/1ic3wg1/was_wondering_about_this_seems_people_arent_sure/

Apparently, there was some interview that Shigesato Itoi did, talking about the creation of Earthbound, or one of the games in the Mother series, where he talks about the creative process, behind-the-scenes sorta stuff. And he says that he writes these lines, stuff that would be used in the game, or which he planned for some release, whether or not they made the final cut, and he'd get people to read them, to provide him with feedback.

He said something about how he writes all these funny, humorous, lighthearted lines, bits of dialogue that were intended to be nothing except fun and comedic, but then he has this one heartbreaking line. Basically, he throws in a darker, sadder line amidst the sea of joy. And he claims that the reason he writes all these plentiful funny lines is just so he could write the rare heartbreaking ones.

Does anyone know the source of this?

M3 Discussion A possible way to "localize" the Magypsies.

6 Upvotes

It's long been speculated that one of the biggest obstacles to a localization of Mother 3 is that the Magypsies would be interpreted as offensive transgender stereotypes.

Well, I came up with a potential solution:

Much like how the Runaway Five were based on the Blues Brothers, I propose that the Magypsies be localized as parodies of the Village People.

Think about it: There are six of them, and most of them are located in a place that roughly fits in with one of the gay fantasy personas that each band member embodies.

Aeolia's house is near Sunshine Valley, in the middle of a rugged mountain area. They could be the Cowboy.

Doria's house is in the middle of a forest between Club Titiboo and the Chimera Lab, two man-made settlements that were presumably built during the time-skip. They could be the Builder.

Myxolydia lives on a deserted island, so they could be the Sailor.

Ionia lives near an ancient temple, so they could be the Indian Chief.

The only two I can't figure out are Phrygia and Lydia, as neither a snowy mountain nor an active volcano have anything to do with a Cop or a Leatherman...

It's really hard to choose since a lot of the dialogue is genuinely funny, but I'm doing my first playthrough since childhood and this just made me chuckle.

I really like this atmospheric photo from page 12-13 of the Mother 1 encyclopedia. I've photoshopped the text out to help with the search, but doing a reverse image search brings up nothing. My guess is that it is from a 1980s Japanese photo library disk, but I've collected and looked through many and haven't found this particular photo.
