I've played through the game five times. Try again.

I'd like to see one about what George and Maria did on the ayy's planet, desu.

>Original EB0 rom
I suggest playing the gba version with the color restoration patch. The translation in the EB0 rom is very dry and dull, also censored in areas.

Either way grinding isn't as a bad as people say. For me I would say there are four crucial parts you should grind at.
>very beginning
>entering magicant for the first time
>when Lloyd joins
>when Ana joins

Almost all equipment beside weapons is sold in Magicant, a few things are found in dungeons, so you can technically get the best equipment as soon as you go there. You might need to grind a bit but as I said above, it's worth it.

PSI attacks are a bit weird here. Some have effects like instakill or bringing a enemy down to 1 hp, they can be pretty broken.

Remember to grab the Onyx Hook, it's nice to have and some people forget about it.

It really isn't necessary honestly. The fan translation with a color restoration patch is as good as we're going to get. It's a shame about the music but not having the shit script of the prototype is well worth it.

Itoi and Miyazaki are actually pretty good friends, Itoi wrote the tag lines for a lot of 80's and 90's Ghibli movies and even voices the father in the Japanese version of My Neighbor Totoro. I always dreamed of a Ghibli Mother film but both of them are older now and I'm sure if Ghibli was to even consider doing a video game Mother wouldn't be a top option.

Are you being retarded on purpose?

I fucking love M1 but you don't need to lie.

Depends, these are the two best options in my opinion.

GBA fantranslation with color restoration patch: This is the fan translation that gives a more accurate script. However when ported to the GBA the sound, screensize, and color were changed to comply with the system's limitations. There does exist a patch that restores color to it's original version but the sound and screensize still suffer.

NES with fantranslation: This is the fan translation on an NES rom. This would be the ideal version but it has a catch. The NES is much more limited in it's script size. Due to this most dialouge had to be reduced or left unaltered. However the color, sound, and screensize all are theor original version.

I think really the gameplay holds it back more then anything. Its a shame since it really is incredibly charming but has some weirdly underdeveloped aspects. Some say they find it the darkest but I feel the opposite, its the most innocent. As Itoi got older he seemed to make the games more personal. M2 had a few jabs at certain topics but most were played as laughs. M3 really felt personal, its themes were more serious.

I love all three myself but I have to acknowledge that the reason most don't like M1 is acceptable.

I'll go maximum autism and say the original japanese script is "canon", bro.
>easy ring
Wow it's almost like you can, get this, not use it.

Mother. Itoi managed to put so much love and emotion to it, it's unbelievable.

Ok, I'll be honest and say I thought you were just trying to derail the thread. It pisses me off when someone shits on a game, add no real evidence, and then get replies as if they add to the thread. Interesting how old you are that you played it at release. Have you tried 1 and 3? I'm just curious as I have heard people say they loath 2 but enjoy 1 and/or 3. Disscussing the mother series is so interesting to me as people have really differing thoughts on them. Videogames still have a rather childish stigma with them, I think in a generation or two that actually will change.
