Earthbound anyone

[naotavespaboy]

Hey just out of interest has anyone else here played this sadly hugely underrated RPG? Many people will know the protagonist Ness as he has been in every Smash Bros game but few people know of or have played the game he is from. Checking online I have found out that the sequel Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) is not going to get an English translation. Anyway I just wanted to know if there were any other Earthbound fans out there and if there are could you help me out as I am currently stuck.

I have got to the spin out Fourside city part but can't seem to get any further. Any help is gladly welcome.

I played the DBZ one.Legacy Of Goku.It's fun ONCE not the second time.It was fun seeing the chibi Goku pretend to be as strong as the original.

This is not an RPG talk....This is a talk for the the fans of Ness and Lucas...:)

Mmm, Earthbound. I <3 it so much. I do believe I can safely say it's my favorite game ever. The fact that you can fail the entire game based on a choice you make some time earlier is almost as good as the random deathtrap bunker in the original Metal Gear.

Hey great to see I'm not alone on this one thanks for the link Manhattan project. I finally got through Fourside.

Also Naruto d Kurosaki what are you on about this has nothing to do with DBZ?

1 of the finest RPGs on the SNES. And it's so nice to see a game that doesn't take itself seriously.

Most of the kiddies around these boards wouldn't know a thing about it, though.

I suppose your're right it is a "golden oldie". Its such a shame that no other RPG's took on its mold and tried to be a little more light hearted.

There are plenty of light hearted RPG's out there. They just aren't as popular. Dragon Quest, and almost anything by Level 5 or Nippon Ichi would qualify. An occasional game by Altus would make the list too.

Absolutely; Earthbound never got the credit it deserved, but I bet the creators had a blast making it. You can tell they loved their jobs, and I, in turn, loved the game.

I personally am waiting for Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) to be unofficially translated. I guess the group I'm watching is close.
