It'd be in your best interests to play it through. It's a wonderful game

Well, as far as I played. The game was a bit odd. The battling system seems so...off.

I barely considered it battling.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

"Odd"? It played out like Dragon Warrior/Quest-- that is to say, it plays out like the most traditional turn-based RPG battle system ever designed.

Battling in Earthbound is a bore, but so is every turn-based RPG. Everything else makes up for it, a brilliant game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The odd comment was directed towards the game itself. I've thought it was odd that you actually had a fly-like character in your party and a scared kid who did nothing but cower. (That was the best part of the experience

).

As for the battling system. I'm Really, Really, Really out of the RPG loop. Mario RPGs are the only RPGs that I really ever play.

I thought the Battling system was "off" because the way the fly basically could beat up everyone in one hit. The fly was too powerfull for it's own good.

I don't really know much else about the game after the first Boss Battle though. That's when things with the Emulator went wrong.

You should actually try the game out. The trial you gave it gives it no justice

FELIPE NO

Well, I would have continued it if my Save wasn't bad. I plan of buying it on the Revolution and finishing it then.

Besides, I hate playing games on Emulators when I could play it on a console.

"As for the battling system. I'm Really, Really, Really out of the RPG loop. Mario RPGs are the only RPGs that I really ever play."

Ha, me too. With the exception of currently playing Earthbound, and the Fire Emblem series (strategy RPG isn't quite the same).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This is out already?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

... Haha!

you do realize that the fly came from the future, right? And that he has psychic powers, which is why he's powerful?

Having a powerful ally in the beginning is a common RPG convention. It allows the player to get used to the battle system while having a trump card in case they make a mistake. Any time you get such a powerful ally in the beginning, you almost always know that they will leave you sooner rather than later.

In any case, you tried the game out anyways, which is a suprise, because anybody who doesn't play RPGs usually doesn't play them because they hate them.

Yeah I can understand why. Their battle systems are hardly traditional, and can be a lot more fun in that they are more interactive.

Yes, I knew that. It was just an odd character to have on your team.

As I've said before, I'm really out of the RPG scene. I only really started noticing these things after I played Final Fantasy IV some months ago. I'm still learning things about RPGs.

Earthbound was definitely not like any Mario RPG I've ever played which is why the game alienated me.

Dude, just go dl the rom and give it a solid play. You'll get into it if you give it a few hours. Give it another shot. You'll enjoy it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

vuigun · Local time: Apr 25, 2006, 10:21 PM

Never! As I've said before, I hate playing it on the PC. (So much hand cramping)

I'll just wait to the Revolution comes and play it on that.

They make PC gamepads, too.

Wow, that looks good. It cheaper then I expected. I'll be getting that gamepad sometime so I can have a good PC game experience.

^_^, that Franklin Badge almost made me buy the deluxe box. Almost

Like, I said "IT'S MINE!"

Thankfully, I came to my senses and realized I just couldn't afford it

Can someone reveal the storyline for Mother 3?

I guess you'd put spoiler tags around the info though.

About the story, alot is unknown. Some users think that it revolves around the chimeras (the hybrid monsters found here in the "Many Strange Monsters" present box), and alot of other people speculate that it has to deal with the "revenge pig invasion" (the original story concept from the N64 game.)

Alot is still unknown due to the fact that it's not in english, but more light will be shed as more and more people complete the game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
