you mean you want to replace the audio files from the rom with "cd quality" (PCM lossless
) audio files from the game? Where would such files had been created/mixed in the first place breh

I suppose not, but I've beaten the game at least half a dozen times vanilla. I tried patching and it won't seem to work anyway. At least not all the functions, or the music. Maybe the rom needs to be expanded.

[Anonymous No.5639234]

I just finished earthbound a few days ago for the first time, even though its been on the edge of my mind since the first time I played smash bros I guess
Amazing game but wished it could have been longer, guess its better to leave the player wanting more then wanting it to be done already
I did get Mother 3 but it feels darker so far wonder if it's just the translation

do you have to go to a wiki to remember the "canon" names because when I look stuff up I pull a blank on anyone but Ness's "canon" name or am I just retarded

Only thing you messed up that meme with is calling this game "underrated." It is the most talked about game simply because it was underbought and obscure in its day, not because it deserves critical claim.

What a bizarre hack. The music seems weird honestly. Battle Against A Weird Opponent sounds like it had the Chuck Berry sections edited in to the main melody and the little breaks still sound normal, sounds unprofessional. Interesting none the less.
>>5639273
Never seen this before, not any of those anons but I imagine they haven't either.
>>5639284
I have nothing against putting stupid shit as the names in games, but Mother 3 is the ONE game you REALLY shouldn't do that. I won't go into detail but it might ruin the ending and it's effect on you.

[Anonymous No.5639301]

>but Mother 3 is the ONE game you REALLY shouldn't do that
how really is REALLY is it start over with regular names really? or is it TALLA praying out to you at the end of earthbound for help eh cool but I knew you wanted my name for some reason I was waiting for it
I'm only at the begining of chapter 2 with Worm knowing where to go and with speed up on walking I could get back to where I am at no problim in a short amount of time

I named Ness after me playing Earthbound and TALLA is a butcherd verson of my sisters name so the little romance at the end was really weird and I didn't see it comeing

[Anonymous No.5639306]

>>5639301
I hate to say it but I genuinely suggest starting over if you're not far. Mother 3's ending is one of the best in any game I feel, to have silly names occur your first time experiencing it would be a damn shame. Play the game blind please, it's a wild ride and I wouldn't want it ruined for anyone playing the game. If you haven't completed chapter 1 I suggest it highly.

[Anonymous No.5639312]

>>5639301
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.

No problem. I know it sucks restarting but really, I wouldn't suggest doing it unless I really thought it was that important.

Hope you enjoy Mother 3 anon, it's an amazing game just like Earthbound.

Are there any good uncensor patches for Earthbound? I want to replay it again sometime but want to make the playthrough a bit different, just for the sake of variety.

[Anonymous No.5639541]

>>5639536
EarthReBound is some mix between a few improvement or decensor hacks. It changes the text here and there to match the japanese version, supposedly removes some of the censorship/localization changes and also has controls and menus that are a bit more streamlined/comfortable to use.

[Anonymous No.5639545]

>>5639541
Does it uncensor magicant? It's shit if it doesn't.

[Anonymous No.5639548]

>>5639545
Like I said, supposedly. That hack in particular doesn't seem to change the title screen from earthbound to Mother 2, for instance, so it seems to be picky regarding graphical changes. It's based on this one:

one thing is an audio hack and the other is talking about "cd quality" audio, to refer to audio file replacements, as "cd quality" audio is simply put, wrong. Imagine the size of a rom if the auido files where all PCM lossless.

It's more likely Nintendo will make a remake of Mother 1 before that comes out. Mother 1 could really use one, it's got a great framework with its story and characters but it being a NES RPG just kinda makes it a reskinned DQ clone.

Plus a remastered soundtrack is always nice.

Without spoiling anything I will just say the ending is meant to be taken rather serious, similar to Earthbound, and using jome names really ruins any of the impact it could otherwise hold. I'm not against people naming their rpg characters dumb shit, but Mother 3 is a case where I think it really will ruin tbe experience.

I'm not a RPG fan, but I love this game. No boring assed normal RPG setting that's been done into the ground, great music, charming and trippy graphics, fun humor, likeable characters with good character development. It's comfy and fun.

Smash was a factor, but wasn't the Mother 3 fan translation what actually made the series actually huge and more massive?

I mean Earthbound I kinda get it, but what's with Mother 1?

[Anonymous No.5645238]

>>5645208
"Unique" setting and mapping is the typical reason given, just as for Mother 2. The actual reason is Magicant, basically a hub world/Pokemon center. Neither of the sequels have anything like that in them.

It's a very charming game with a very minimalist and subtle plot that heavily unfolds at the end.

If you're a fag that plays it for attention (like most of the EB fanbase), it's the "cute and dramatic story." If you're actually looking for a game to play, it's some of the out-of-battle actions (like teleporting) and Zelda-esque world make it feel pretty interesting.
