/vr/ - Retro Games

One trick I figured out in Earthbound/Mother 2 is that if your team takes mortal damage and you don't think you can heal in time, just set it to auto, the ai will always prioritize healing mortally wounded party members ASAP. Of course this comes at the cost of giving up control of your entire party but it's a neat gameplay choice that's only possible because of the rolling HP mechanic.

Sorry, didn't even address your main question but yes, the names are more important then even in Earthbound I feel. Not to say Earthbound's uses of the names entered isn't also amazing but Mother 3's use is even better I feel.

Seriously though, do not look up the game at all. The ending is one of, if not, the most discussed aspects of the game. To have it spoiled would be a shame. Do not consult any kind of online video guide or anything, you really shouldn't need one either.

Yeah, that's true. I don't know who keeps making these threads one after another. I love the series but I don't need to discuss it 24/7. Maybe every couple of months or so a nice mother thread would be good to see, not on a daily basis.

I just wish these threads didn't degrade to such a terrible quality.

So anyone want to actually talk about the games?
