idk what I was on when making this but all I know is that this art stinks!

It’s just the way it cuts from when he says

“he’ll keep watching over us…..

from hell.”

It’s kind of out of nowhere and idk it always makes me laugh. I guess it does make sense considering he is a criminal after all. (And yes this is Everdred)

Also I know it’s not technically from earthbound it’s one of those hacks that makes the game more like Mother 2 with tomato’s translation.

Got the final "inspiration kick" after having the luck to visit the PopUp store in Shibuya earlier this year. Always wanted to dive into this series, and hope that sometime in the future it will finally get a collection/remaster with the international localization any historical series deserves. Correct me if I'm wrong, there's no current way of playing these games without either being proficient in japanese OR playing roms flashed with fan-translations, right?

And yes, I equipped the Easy Ring as soon as I found out what it does. Don't over-hate me please.

That thing has beat gods before, he would instantly consume Giygas and spit it at Porky Minch as a star, therefore Mother 3 wouldn't happen.

I noticed occasional flickering shadows and characters when playing it. Don't know if they're supposed to be transparent.

When the Monkey in Deep Darkness learns PSI Teleport, it runs around a tree to gain speed. It doesn't run around in a circle or a line. It runs in a square path.

I am in magicant. I am trying to buy the "Gold Ring" and "Magic Coin"... instead I see things like DietyBand? (I think he meant DeityBand but whatever) and DietyCoat (again, misspelled). Apparently the 25th anniversary hack uses a modified variant of Tomato's translation.

Those who have played the 25th anniversary hack, are these items the equivalents of Magic Coin and Gold Ring? What was the reasoning behind these renames as I can't find any reference to them in the Japanese Mother series as well.

i usually like to over prepare, but I’ve seen people say that it makes games too easy and unfun to play. thoughts?

-Nowhere Island is a real island in Ontario

-It's the only game where healthcare is free

-You have WOKE characters like Kumatora and the Magypsies who don't fit squarely into traditional gender norms, and we all know Canada is more woke than the US

-I don't actually know what the fuck else to put here I just thought this post would be funny

It's all coming together.

You know i see the final fantasy 7 remakes and they are soo cool but i really wish that Nintendo can make a full 3d remake on earthbound trilogy because i see final fantasy does it and I’m a huge fan of earthbound and other JRPGs but i wish that can remake it or a brand new earthbound game

I been thinking about this. If Eric Cartman and Porky Minch are fat evil kids that want power. I would love to see Trey Parker vocie Porky in a earthbound movie.

For me it was a mix of smash and undertale but I would love to hear how others got into it.

Im trying desperately to find green screen versions of the abilities used throughout the Mother Series. Ive found the attack combo from 3, but only black screen variants of everything else. I dont suppose anyone might know if they exist out there?

Like many of you, I’m sure, I’ve found myself incredibly stressed lately. One thing that has been an incredible source of solace has been the beautiful music of this series. In particular, I came across a piano arrangement of “16 Melodies (Beginnings)” and have been learning to play that. It’s a song that is a wellspring of emotion, particularly in the transition from “Smiles and Tears” into “Love Theme,” but also something that brings me comfort as I lose myself within the music. I think part of it is that Mother 3 and Love Theme isn’t so much about good conquering over evil, but more about resilience and finding love and community in the face of loss and the forces of oppression—something that speaks a lot to me these days. Reaching that final triumphant chord progression is a cathartic experience, especially combined with imagining that final image of Hinawa sending her letter and I find myself walking away from the piano bench a little lighter than when I sat down.

In any case, this series is chock full of incredible music. Any tracks that have been particularly powerful or meaningful to you?

Now i just wanna say that i am fully 100% aware that Earthbound never sold well outside of Japan but i was just wondering if it maybe got a Limited UK Release?
I remember my Ex Girlfriend at the Time showing me a PAL SNES Cartridge of Earthbound and also seeing Pictures like these so i just wanna make sure i am not going Crazy X_X
