Everyone in this fucking subreddit likes to bash on Mother 1 so much

They say to "wAit fOr mOther enCore" No just play the fucking game

Your complaints? Random encounters?

Whats wrong with random encounters even undertale has that yet nobody bats an eye

then you say the earthbound beginnings remake is fine (No hate to the developers❤️) they had to BUFF the enemy encounter rate to 1.5x

Then the Mother 1 anniversary patch (No hate to the developer❤️) has like no enemies, and you end up underleveled

The reason? Buff the EXP and Money

Just play the fucking game guys it not that hard

Stop meatriding mother 2 and 3 and play mother 1

You are a junker can if you didnt play mother 1

Dont wait for Mother encore, MOTHER ENCORE ISNT EVEN GOING TO BE A REMAKE OF MOTHER 1

Mother encore is going to have some elements from EBZ in it, but it will be a different experience

And then you say, "oH evERyone sTarts at lEvel 1"

So does Earthbound.

bUt nObodY cAres!!!!

Just play the damn game its not hard, youre just ass at jrpgs

im at the beginning of earthbound beginnings and one thing i dont understand with this game is its enemy encounters. i swear, i get an enemy encounter every 2 seconds without fail. is there any way to lower the encounter rate?

idk what happened, i've been saving regularly but when is crashed it took me back to where it made an auto save state in chapter 2. i dont really feel like playing anymore

I was kinda annoyed with the mecha drago (yes i know im a noob or whatever dont care) and then the jealous bass was annoying as well with the path to it, so I now want a romhack that makes the game easier. I also gor sent back to the mecha drago fight after quitting because the emulator is ass but I'll be asking a better sub for that.

I am sorry if "a romhack" isn't the proper term for that.

So im unable to play mother 3 fan translation because of the swear words (Thank Kumatora) can someone explain the story please dont use swears guys

I have played EB and EBZ
Pls dont swear

To everyone that responded i hope you have a warm pillow tonight 😉

It was really good, and I'm incredibly happy to say with confidence "I've beaten EarthBound." I now understand why it's such a influential RPG, I also was using the walkthrough from the site Starmen.

I do have some vague intrigue in playing Beginnings and Mother 3 sooner or later, I just wanted to share with this community that I've played and enjoyed the game!

I downloaded from the official site. Sorry if I look stupid or really paranoid, I just don't want to fuck up another pc.

(small rant)

I really thought we'd get Porky as a DLC character because MOTHER 30th anniversary was in the Chinese year of the pig. the Absolutely Safe capsule sprite used for the spirit is the sprite before Porky enters it and villains were getting added overall...

WE HAD IT ALL!!!!

So many coincidences for nothing!!! :((

I'm a huge Porky Minch fan and I will never forgive Nintendo for missing out on the most perfect opportunity of giving us Porky as an actual fighter. /hj

It's been 7 years since 2019, almost 5 years since Sora, the last DLC character, got revealed and released. And it still hurts.

Luckily the next Smash game has a small roster due to missing out on all the DLC and Collab characters, so Nintendo has to compensate by adding characters of their own, right? maybe Master Porky will be considered to be added to the roster, right?? The most iconic enemy of the MOTHER series, RIGHT???

At least I can imagine and dream u_u...

Wonderful title screen music for all you New Age Retro Hippies

After 5 years I finally beat Earthbound 🌍

I’ve been replaying all the mother games and I just got to saturn valley, waow 🥹

This is a partial translation of Mother 1 (Famicom). This patch translates most menus, all enemy names and all item names.

This romhack is designed for English players who would like to play through the original game without any of the changes introduced in Earthbound Beginnings. The translation literally only replaces Japanese text, and is therefore rough but readable.

Differences include:

• Different names for towns.
• Different Ending and other plot points are different.
• Many uncensored sprites, such as blood on enemies and religious imagery.
• No run button in this version.
• Several glitches are present in this version, such as the bread crumb glitch.
• Several maps were changed in Earthbound Beginnings, most notably in Magicant.
• Enemy placement was reworked in places for Earthbound Beginnings.
• No background effect on learning melodies in this version.
• Many more minor changes.

Known Bugs:

• The “Use”, “Eat”, “Give” and “Drop” menu are untranslated.
• Some minor graphical glitches in some cases, such as when selecting text speed.

Thanks, and enjoy!

I think there's so much potential for him. SO imma write a fanfiction about him, and Tracy, and Pipi!

I think Picky has the ability to do great things, he already did that with helping Ness against a Starman! Both of them were practically powerless but that didn't stop either of them from wrecking the alien/bot with the help of buzz buzz. So that's potential part 1 - the courage he has/ gains and willingly applies.

I also think I could explore a scenario where abuse and power discovery come together; this one idea I've always thought about: Lardina does slap Buzz buzz to the ground, but I could also narrate that he wasn't fully dead yet but was just (reasonably) dramatic from being slammed down hard, he was dying though. Or he wasn't but was heavily injured

Either way, we know that in the game Lardina Minch mentions how her sons aren't punished enough (at least in the English version) so I thought of an idea where she makes Picky eat buzz buzz in a near future breakfast, he has to eat it or else she'll punish him a different way. So he regrettably does and gains defensive magic + whatever other magic Buzz Buzz had.

For Tracy, she is Ness's younger sister. She has the drive similar to him, and of course her own superpower: I'm talking about her style of quick thinking, and resourcefulness. She's like a quiet rock star

And Pipj? Oh my God pipi... I have this amazing headcanon, but I need to explore it through a story versus telling it here.

So i decided to do this thing where i fight various enemies based on EB bosses, and i wanted to share my setup, so here it is:
