It was a spontaneous episode James wanted to do because he was genuinely captivated by Earthbound. A lot of it feels like he's too late to the party, but at the same time that's kinda what AVGN is all about, anything post-NES is still new to the Nerd.

Earthbound it's the best on the series imo

Mother 1 it's really good and has a really big overworld for it's time but it can be full nothing at times leaving no much reason for exploration and the setting it's pretty good, rural towns and cities was pretty unique and nice, I really liked how the plot wasn't show in your face until the very late game

Earthbound may be way more linear than Mother 1 but it was an overall improvement, the setting of present time while keeping the bs at minimum was pretty good and has yet to be done again, of course it gets some exotic areas but that's around the endgame

Mother 3 of course has the best story and bow to the series, but holy shit they went full bs with the setting, the only parts of the game that still have the atmosphere of present time of the two past games are the beginning of chapter 4 and chapter 8.
Also fuck chapter 3, It really didn't add much to the story aside from Lucas getting involved at the end, and it was tedious as fuck too, worst part of any playtrough, I get that Earthbound kinda did this with Jeff but holy shit mother 3 did it 3 times with almost everyone

Mother 1 (or Earthbound Beginnings, whatever) is good, but it's clunkier than the other installments since it's a NES RPG. Get the 25th Anniversary/Faithful Edition if you're not getting it from the Wii U VC.

3 is fantastic and my personal favorite in the series, but it's sort of a departure in terms of storytelling, being much more direct. Whether that's up your alley or not, give it a go, it's still damn good. It wasn't released outside of Japan so your only option is the fan translation.

Not that guy, but Mother 3 is heavily inspired by a novel called The Notebook. Which is about two brothers, Claus and Lucas, who spend their childhood and puberty in a small city by the border of two regions at war, presumably WWII according to the writer's age and experiences, and probably located in some eastern-european country. It's never really stated in the book where the kids are or what year it is, because the whole book is like a diary of these two kids, and their own rules to life. It's pretty brutal though.
If this is book is anything to go by, it could be either a nazi or a communist regime, but again, it's never really stated. Giving the possible location, it might be communism, but it doesn't really matter, the point is that there is a totalitarian regime and there's war.
In Mother 3, the whole Pig Mask army is revealed to be led by Porky, could you say he's of any particular political view? If anything he was capitalist in Mother 2, but ultimately, in Mother 3 his mind has already went through many possible millenia of traveling between time lines. Playing around, like a kid with toys. I don't think there's any ultimate deep political critic on M3.
If anything, Porky is very similar to a character from another book that also inspired the series, The Sirens of Titan.
Given Itoi's personal life, I would guess he's more of a leftist, but I'm not entirely sure. He definitely made some political statement against Japan's own government during the 80s though.

>> No.4793493

>>4793454
But the problem is that it's so far removed from the other games, and the need to seemingly force concepts and charecters from the other games is jarring at best. If he was going for something different, he should have just made 3 it's own game rather than part of the series.

I wasn't commenting on whether M3 is good or not, I was just giving my objective view on M3's supposed political commentary.
I agree that M3 is very different, even structurally as a game by having chapters, but at the same time, everything is so familiar. Especially around chapter 4. But still, I think it was meant to be different. I personally liked it.

Going by The Notebook's own ending, probably Flint would have died as a result of trying to save Lucas from the attack of Masked Man, and Masked Man would have still died, too. And maybe the suicide would be more graphic and less subtle.

I don't mean to say it's not clear that he commited sudoku, but it's done so in a kind of light way. He doesn't kill himself per se, he receives a rebound from the Frankling Badge of his own attack.

The problem wasn't the old characters but that the game did a bad job at explaining it.
I agree that the text dumps were really unnecessary, The tall guy said way more than it was necessary and just explaining Porky's powers the old characters appearing is justified even if it they are almost none, M3 was supposed to be played after M1+2 to be a curtain called and speaking of M1+2, they also didn't made a good job at explaining things between games

they at least didnt use text dumps. plus not much happened that wasnt self explanatory. giygas got really powerful and lost his mind after his emotional trauma, cue M2. simple. why the fuck 3 had to add in all the "this island is the only place left" stuff was kind of unnecessary.

My bro and I used to love playing Earthbound when we were kids. That game gave us something to connect with big time. Musically inspiring too - god that game really is more than most. It really captured an unique feeling. Cannot believe it's been 23 years since we first played it.

Would there have been outrage? It's not like anyone fucking bought the game when it first came out. Plus it doesn't show his dick or anything, just his butt.

>> No.4801270

This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm about to start Mother 1/EB0 and I'm a bit confused about the patching. I used the latest hack available on RH.net which (supposedly) applies all of the enhancements of Mother 1 25 th anniv. Edition but also decensors NOA changes AND keeps the original map, font, character models and the GBA re-translation from Mato which is universally praised.

But...it doesn't seem to work. Or does it? Because i patched the GBA version and ran both and the script is clearly different. I'm trying to play the NES version with the best translation and connections to EB1 (which i'm gonna play right after)

sorry for the long post

It would have been a huge controversy, for sure. Soccer moms were pretty resolute back then, and videogames were still subject to that whole moral degeneration stigma. Plus it's a kid, which is a HUGE hot button issue.
Standards were way more conservative, and the west wasn't real big on all these quirky Japanese customs like we are today.

And that was present even in the companies. There weren't people over at Nintendo going "Oh man, if only we could shove some kid ass in there, that'd really convey the Japanese idea of purity!"
No, that's not a thing anyone was saying.
Even Sega, who was seen as the cool edgier version of Nintendo at the time, tended more towards X-Treme radicool type shit.

Do you remember the whole Hot Coffee Mod controversy, with Grand Theft Auto? And how, for a moment in time, that was the biggest fucking deal, the only thing people could talk about because someone modded a game to find triangle boobs that had been locked off of normal play. That happened in the early 2000s.

If you want to split hairs, no, showing Ness's butt probably wouldn't have been the end of videogames or toppled Nintendo's corporate empire. They could have "gotten away with it", in the same way Rockstar Games "got away with it", although Earthbound might have become even harder to find than it is today.
But it'd be yet more controversy to a medium that already wasn't high budget, and nobody wanted that shit. Not Nintendo, not anybody.

>Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama
I'm a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series). I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%. When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer! I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
