I suppose now is as good a time as any to start playing Earthbound, then.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #2 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:04:20 AM »

Earthbound is the 1st thing Im gonna play on my hacked PSP

Mother 3 is amazing, everyone play it. One of the greatest RPGs of all time

muckhole · « **Reply #3 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:06:38 AM »

Earthbound has been sitting in my backlog for years and years. I'm going to have to finally see what all the fuss was about. For a little while, I actually spent some time trying to track down the cartridge, but yeah, PSP shall be the way to play.

demi · « **Reply #4 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:08:34 AM »

I wont play Earthbound again because I've ran that game into the ground. I'd try Zero, but it's pretty brutal. I'll just play saints row 2 until then.

muckhole · « **Reply #5 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:11:01 AM »

I just want to get caught up so I can try part 3. Or is that even necessary?

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:13:04 AM »

I want to say it is, there is some connection to Earthbound. I know there is a character that returns, but I dont know the plot connection.

demi · « **Reply #7 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:16:03 AM »

There's a good Wii GBA emulator, if you would prefer to play it on your TV

I'm gonna play it on my DS

Himu · « **Reply #8 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:18:34 AM »

Gonna play this on my psp

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #9 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:19:11 AM »

yeah, no-one cares

go back to japan, weeaboo

The Sceneman · « **Reply #10 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:21:19 AM »

Mother 3 is fine without having played Earthbound. The story is mainly stand-alone, there is a returning character but you can understand whats going on pretty easily

muckhole · « **Reply #11 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:22:34 AM »

Are the SNES emu's any better on PSP or DS, demi? I totally forgot that I can use my DS for that stuff now too.

Good to know, but I think I've put Earthbound off long enough. Time to give the old girl a whirl.

It's times like this I'm glad I have a GBA flash card and a Gameboy Micro.

tiesto · « **Reply #16 on:** October 14, 2008, 09:15:03 AM »

Just played Earthbound last year for the first time... I don't think it necessarily held up as well as some people think, and it's far from the best RPG I've ever played, but it's still not a bad game. I'm still really looking forward to playing Mother 3 and this patch, though.

Tucah · « **Reply #17 on:** October 14, 2008, 12:45:04 PM »

Probably will play on my PSP.

E-DuB · « **Reply #18 on:** October 14, 2008, 02:03:48 PM »

As if I need another game to add to the backlog. I've been keeping an eye on this since it was announced over a year ago and it's good to see no one flaked out and stopped half way though finishing it.

I'm surprised at that... The translation "scene" people sometimes seem to be real big primadonnas, like the guy who did the Ys PC translations.

what's the best gba emu for psp?

although i'll prolly just end up playing it on my pc with an xbox controller.

Yeah, Mother's pretty gay.

Surprised that Demi is into ZANY JAPANESE ANTICS.

mother 3 is a bit more serious or 'dark' story wise

Which type of dark, story wise? "Team Rocket kidnaps Pikachu" dark or "Dora the Explorer gets the Elian Gonzales treatment" dark?

Vizzys · « **Reply #25 on:** October 14, 2008, 04:49:59 PM »

i was just clarifying for oblivion here, not trying to say that because its dark its better
but you probably wont play so I will spoil it here

spoiler (click to show/hide)

major spoilers

your hometown, is taken over by an invading army and people are forced to do what they say, if they dont their house gets struck by lightning from this bigass tower. (the tower of love and peace)
your mother is killed by a chimera (which are docile animals the army turned into killing robots) and your twin brother is assumed dead for the vast majority of the game, but is actually brainwashed to fight against you from the ruler of said army

Nope, there's a famous (in the translation scene) translator with the name "demi" but even though they both live in Ohio, they are 2 different people.

mother fans should give up, read real books

I find JRPGs much more fulfilling than books, too bad Mrs. Whipplestein doesn't think so, she's the meanest 8th grade English teacher ever

Fuck Mrs. Whipplestein then.

Earthbound wasn't all that amazing - it's story was a bit overrated (although the translation was excellent for the time), and the mechanics are primitive, slightly broken too, but there are much worse RPGs out there. Mother 3 sounds pretty sick though.

honestly, STFU about anything game related becuase youre not only really fucking ignorant, but really fucking stupid. Ive said it once and I'll say it again: why the fuck do you hang out on gaming forums? You dont play games. You have no interest in games. Whatever bo, Ive put you ignore

ha if you read the site tomato hints at translating mother 1+2 for gba

the first half of it is already done ( there is a rom with the english eb zero already ported into mother 1+2) and all he would have to do is copy the text from earthbound really

http://mother3.fobby.net/topsecret/

demi · « **Reply #50 on:** October 17, 2008, 02:39:56 PM »

Or he could do it himself and translate it without any changes that they did in the US version(s)

How does the music attacking work? I cant seem to get more than 2 hits

Vizzys · « **Reply #53 on:** October 17, 2008, 03:56:54 PM »

its like to the beat or whatever

you get a character with a skill that makes it clearer to hear eventually

demi · « **Reply #54 on:** October 17, 2008, 05:54:08 PM »

Right that doesnt help me at all. Which beat? The one I make when I hit? The one in the background? When does the first "Beat" start, and what do I time it with?

tiesto · « **Reply #55 on:** October 17, 2008, 06:14:30 PM »

Only played a bit so far but this game seems pretty awesome!

im not very good at it either

but yeah duster(thief skill guy) gets a skill to hear it quite well, that will explain it more

edit; heres a video of the skill

The Sceneman · « **Reply #57 on:** October 17, 2008, 07:48:21 PM »

yeah the music battles take a little getting used to, and some battle themes are harder to chain than others. Just listen to the music and try and tap along to it, thats the basic idea. My skills never got that advanced

demi · « **Reply #58 on:** October 17, 2008, 07:52:15 PM »

Ok so I shouldnt really concern myself with it then. I'm getting the shit beat out of me, enemies keep going first and my guy takes like 3 turns just to kill one enemy.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #59 on:** October 17, 2008, 07:54:48 PM »

yeah its a bit rough in the beginning, just crank the hot pools hard. Lots of baddies drop bread rolls (restore 30 HP, not sure if thats the english translation, my japanese is pretty poor) as well. The game gets easier once you get a healer in your party

chaining to the music is helpful, but not essential
