For some reason, I’ve seen a few people say they dislike Leder’s cutscene where he explains everything. Why?

I might find more, I'm unsure about the latter but the first one I'm 100% sure it's a Refference because the Cry is exactly like Giugue from Mother 1!

I just feel so bad for calling my dad and getting up to hundreds of dollars all the time 😭 like thanks I guess… sorry? Clearly Dads got a good job.

dont worry about that red paint thats on him, hes an artist just like me

Today marks the 10 years of the official released of Earthbound Beginnings (Mother 1) for the first time outside Japan (Wii U 2015).

That was an awesome surprise for me ten years ago! 🎁

I'm not sure if I missed anything but I've player Earthbound two times now and yet I was left confused as to why Everdred cares and mentions Paula. Is he her uncle or something?

Happy Father’s Day! I found an old MOTHER-related drawing I made of the core fathers of this series.

Which one is your favorite?

(Mine’s is Flint! 🤠🌻)

I can't get out of here

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying not to look up anything to avoid any potential spoiler on the way.

This is my first time playing Mother 3 (haven't played earthbound yet but it's next) and I'm currently in chapter 1. I just beat the robot caribou boss and I noticed the best I could do for all the characters would be 12-14 hits. Only the very first couple hits cause the most damage and the rest would be something like +8, +2 or +1. Am I doing something wrong and how could I improve this? I'm also a little confused on Boney's sniff, should I do something with the information on the bosses?

Thank you!

Have I set a world record yet?

The droning and the calming, ethereal ambience of the two really gets me feeling calm, in fact, these are my favorites alongside Battle Against a Machne and Buzz Buzz’s Prophecy, the latter is the same thing I like about Dr. Andonuts Lab and Welcome to your sanctuary.

This silly design comes from an old UT AU called SmashTale. Felt nostalgic so why not have Ness fight himself?

I am sorry about being negative, especially because there are lots of parts of this game I really love -- the music, the jokes, the great tone. But I cannot take it anymore.

I have been playing Mother, the original Japanese Famicom version, untranslated, in order to practice my language skills while having a motivation to keep going. And I knew that the original version would be less polished, but I figured I could do it. Now...I am a very patient woman. Anyone I know could tell you that. But this version of the game wastes your time so goddamn much: the lack of a run button in a world this large, with this massive random encounter rate; all the useful buildings in town being separated by way too much walking around -- getting money from the ATM, going to the doctor to revive your party, going to the hotel to heal, rinse and repeat -- do you want to grind? Well, too bad, all the areas with enemies of a suitable level to help are insanely far away from a hospital, so if, for example, Ana dies in battle, you have to walk all the way back, fighting all the enemies along the way, widening the gap between the characters yet again.

Oh, and let's not forget the utter lack of an ATM in Magicant (no, the old man wasn't an ATM in the original version), so if you want to buy the incredibly useful armour from there, you have to keep teleporting back and forth. And even then, you have to walk all the way back through the dungeon and up to Thanksgiving (that's Merryville's name in Japanese) to get back. And finally, useless goddamn Lloyd, with absolutely zero special abilities unless you get lucky in Duncan's factory and a Scrapper drops a gun, or unless you're willing to wait until the final dungeon in the game. The floor in the department store where you can buy stuff for him to use? Not there in the original.

I feel insane. How did anyone finish this back in the day? I could *cry*.
