I just finished EarthBound and Mother 3 for the first time.

>>263542419
Play through Mother 1?

>>263542419
They probably have the best balance of comfy and creepy out there.

>>263542419

It's a depressing feel anon. There's no other games quite like Mother.

I played through this for the first time last week, it was pretty great.

Still prefer EarthBound though.

Mother 1 is good once you get the hang of it. Plus USA town name spoofs

Mother 3 is depressing as fuck. I played it once when the fan translation came out and never again. Earthbound on the other hand I've played countless times, it's fantastic.

For Mother 1, what does the "easy patch" do?
Give more experience, reduce battles?

With it you can pretty much steamroll through the entire game. Without it, you have to grind a shit load. Pick your poison.

>How am I supposed to go on?
That's what I'm thinking, but for a different reason.

Play Mother 1 with the Easy Ring in Mother 1+2. Don't feel like a casual, it doesn't actually lower the difficulty but only makes it less tedious, you don't have to grind and the random encounter rate is tolerable. With it, I'd say it's better than Earthbound and second only to Mother 3.

Yeah I played through it the first time without even knowing the easy patch existed, and it's definitely not a game ruining amount of grinding. But for subsequent playthroughs, theres no shame in using the patch.

Is that fan remake of Mother 1 still in the works?

>>263546903

I must be a scrub then because that graveyard always demolished me. Then again I got stuck pretty early in all the games, need to go give them all a try again.

>>263547746
Yes.
>>263547802
You can play the game in any order, but I would personally suggest playing Mother 1 first.

Mother if you can handle the NES-ness, otherwise Earthbound for the Ness-ness.

There's only three games I think that have achieved anything close to the greatest/most highly regarded art works of film and literature

EB and M3 are two of them. That's overrating them but from an analytical perspective there is so much going on behind these games that is portrayed so sincerely and subtly that I couldn't help but be utterly immersed, surprised and delighted during my playthroughs.

Plan on playing through Mother 1 now when I get the time.

I saw on Starmen there's romhacks, are the halloween ones good? Was thinking of playing them next month.

That was long ago, and it was a small part the guy who translated Mother 3 did.

I don't see why Lucas is always represented as the most timid.

>>263549056

>>263550720

>>263549056
Thanks, I will go with Snes

>>263550939
He doesn't totally man up, he just learns that even if he's scared he's gotta do what he has to do. For the most part, he still kept to himself besides his few friends.

>>263550878
Possibly

Even amongst the Team Silent SH games they all felt different from each other. SH 1's more pulpy horror, SH 2's much more psychological. The gameplay definitely takes a backseat to the storytelling and atmosphere though.

Either way the story in it's on an entirely different level from SH 1, 3 and 4, so I'd give it a shot. Controls might be clunky if you're not used to traditional survival horror though. The camera is MUCH more dynamic and better than early RE games.

>>263549353
You pique my interest. Because when something is this overhyped, I feel like I am going to encounter disappointment. I assume they are good but do they really make everything else pointless? Like seriously? Like I love the Legacy of Kain series and Devil May Cry 3 and think they are amazing, but never would I think they were the final thing I'd ever play that was good.

>>263551776
It's very easy to overhype the games, but honestly the biggest possibly only problem I really could find with them is that Earthbound's a little unbalanced early on so you should grind a few levels every now and then.

If you don't like "old" JRPGs, then you probably won't like them.

THe thing is if you don't mind old JRPG mechanics then both EB and Mother 3 benefit from being truly unique games. The Mother series is really different from almost everything else out there.

Although you never really did that in the actual Mother games. I still really liked the quirks like Ness' homesickness or Poo's inability to eat burgers.

Just downloaded the ZNES, what kind of shitty emulator is this. It's like I'm back in the 90s with this interface. I can't even get back to my rom folder.

I played and beat Mother 1 and loved it. I'm like 2/5 of the way through Earthbound right now and just lost interest. Is something wrong with me? Should I pick it up again? Mother 3 looks good but i'd rather finish Earthbound before I pick up the 3rd one.

the problem is I always feel like i have to find and get every little thing, so I look through a walkthrough before each new area and such. It adds a bit more of stress to the play through I guess. Should I just play blindly? I feel like I'll miss shit and I don't know if I can handle that

>using a walkthrough for Earthbound

Doing it so very wrong.

>>263556898
Don't use a guide the only thing you'll need help with is the final battle, everything else is directly told through the game, and the levels are never convoluted to the point it's hard to find stuff

Grinding also only helps, so if you feel aneed to backtrack that is far from a bad thing, it's very helpful to just suck it up and explore on your own, fighting whatever comes your way

>>263557506
ugh don't remind me

>>263557078
I like it, besides I experience a lot of input lag on Snes9x.

>>263557667
alright, I'll give it a shot that way then. Thanks anon.

>>263557497
I think it's neat too because one of your main characters is much more effective when you rely on items. At least of the "old" style JRPG's i've played I've never seen anything like that.

It's like Dragon Quest but with some unique quirks. Poo not being able to use normal food or protective gear comes to mind as well.

My recent replay of Earthbound has made me value Ness a whole lot more as a vidya main character. He's amazing.

>>263554812

It's hard to explain, it's almost treat the game like it's their religion.

They act like the game is a messenger of love and peace, and the deepest thing in the world.

There's fanfiction, RPing, and fan comics where they try their hardest to be 100% true to the story, and create their own interpretations of various events. It kinda makes me afraid Mother 4 will be any good.

Also they have a large hatred of Reggie because they assume he's too blame for Mother 3 not being released here.

But one of the most annoying things is their love of playing victim, they act like Mother/Earthbound is the most underrated series on the planet, and almost come off as thinking we'd achieve world peace if everyone played it.

>>263557579
I have immense faith in Mother 4, at least in terms of it being a quirky and somewhat memorable RPG adventure. I doubt they could make it emotionally engaging, however the people invovled have seemed wholly open to criticism, objective review. When I heard they changed the name of the main protag and the guy based on it wished them well while stepping back that impressed me.

I agree.

I learned about him during N64 Smash, and he was my fav to play as in Melee, but I always just took him as "kid that saves the world."

When homesickness kicked in on my recent first-time palythrough of Earthbound I thought it was incredible. It's such a simple idea, it's just a status effect, but the dialogue that accompanies it in battle is great.

Then by the time you get to Lumine Hall, I was blown away. From there forward the game re-established that he's far away from home and like any kid would be scared of what's around the corner, even with the courage/strength to fight it. It's such a simple thing that adds much more depth to the character and story.

Itoi was made super uncomfortable when he read his own writing to the point that he got sick. He then had the team tone down Tane Tane Island for him because he was imagining his own family experiencing it.

It only gives him 30 Attack. Really, it's only for completion and if you actually did that, then you should've also gotten every single 1/128 item in the game, as well.

I don't even know what to do in earthbound, I haven't touched the rom in a while. Right now there's some guy telling me to go rescue Paula and I have the Giant Step sound on the sound stone, but I don't know where Paula is or what the giant step osund is for.

I felt that Mother 3 played everything up better. The change in Tazmilly, Thunder Tower, and New Pork City were all great.

Plus if you wanted to look at the bigger picture, I think that an island that is inhabited by war survivors that blanked their memory being invaded by an dimension-travelling "kid" and his army is better than Giygas' second invasion and even the first Giygas invasion and his backstory in Mother 1.

I haven't played it in a while, I don't know what to do. Genius kid is telling me he can help me in peaceful rest valley if I cough up 200$ but I don't know how to get that much. Paula's supposedly been kidnapped so I can't find her at her house in Twoson.

The reason you think the games are perfect is because they touch on resonant themes, OP. And because its a game that primarily made with passion and emotion rather than profit in mind. The characters and world are incredibly charming and relatable, and you'd be hard pressed to find anything as resonant as the mother trilogy. The Mother trilogy is probably the game that relies most on its director- without Itoi, the game loses so much of what makes it good. This is why Mother 4 has such a gigantic fucking hill to climb, as they have to match Itoi the god.

Best of luck, Mother 4 team. I know you're reading this thread. I know your game comes out in 3 months, supposedly. I know you can do it, too. You just need to tap into your human and quirky side.

I leave this thread with my all time favorite Mother remix.

Orange Kid is a showoff, Apple Kid will be your bro for the whole game.

I'm not sure I've been as immersed in a game as I was in Earthbound. It took me like 5 tries to get into it, but once I broke through the first hour or so I couldn't stop. Real melancholy feelings as I walked through the world after beating Giygas. I really took my time.

Excellent choice.
I was 15 or 16 when I first beat Earthbound and I listened to the soundtracks and fan albums almost exclusively for a long-ass time. I had them all organized and uploaded to megaupload along with my autistically organized folder of Mother fanart from pixiv and I'd spam them in every single Mother 3 thread when that came out. Played through Mother 3 in Japanese with a guide then again after the patch came out. Only RPG I've beaten twice.

It's similar in gameplay style to Mother, except more grinding (which is optional, if you play the GBA port).

Speaking of which, I heavily recommend the GBA port as well. You just need the fan translation patch. It's better in most ways and makes it a lot easier to get into from Earthbound/Mother 3.

Apparently they found shorts harder to animate, or something.
Though that's just hearsay.
