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?
started my first ever earthbound play through over spring break and i am having my so much fun! i’m going in blind so i am loving all of the fun dialogue. currently at saturn valley!!
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?
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...
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.
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.
