I'm playing it at work and it's so lighthearted and the dialogue is so tongue in cheek. I haven't played this in over 5 years >_>

It's better than Mother 3. Fight me bitches

Have you gotten to the point you have to keep calling the mail people to take your trash away from you? Or the part where you run out of storage space and have to waste healing items? Maybe Im a bit salty remembering >_>. I feel like I liked everything except the actual gameplay, tbh.

Yeah I never liked the inventory system. You get so much junk. I always just used the For Sale sign and sell excess shit when I can.

Worst game of all time
The fan base is a cult, but I love the game. It's so easy to just pick up and casually go through

I like that the OST sounds like somebody just mashing random buttons on a synthesizer, but still somehow ends up sounding like music.

I always felt the opposite. It was never comfortable because you were never safe because random NPCs on the street in towns were actually enemies. With most games, you're on edge the whole way between towns, but once you make it in, you're safe. Earthbound betrays your trust by having random regular-ass ladies run up to you and start beating you with their purses or whatever.

The enemy spawns aren't *that* bad in towns. It's definitely way lower compared to dungeons and fields

I thoroughly enjoyed earthbound over mother 3.

mother 3 was good, but I couldnt get the combat down since I was playing on my phone.

Mother 3 felt too linear and restrictive to me. Earthbound is pretty linear too, but the world definitely feels more open and coozy.

Yeah, but the "problem" is that they exist at all. I'm used to being able to relax, explore, shop, and ready-up in towns. In Earthbound, the friendly townspeople are out to murder you. As are the fire hydrants and the fucking street signs. There aren't any safe places. So even though the environments look comfy and familiar, they're all hostile and dangerous.

EB has some questionable design decisions
what parts dont you like? I definitely agree that the inventory system is pretty bad >_>

Mother 1 is tough to play these days but it does have some cool parts

Ness randomly deciding he doesn't feel like acting in battle was definitely a trademark flaw of that game.

Very fun game. I just finished this again about 6-7 months ago. Loved the pacing of the game.

Mother 3 got too dark and serious and I did not like that rhythm shit they added in battles. The game also felt linear but then again I only played a little of it.

I think that happens when he's homesick. Have him call his mom.

I highly doubt they can re-capture the same weird charming magic that was EB.

I think there's small sidequests here and there but they're contained within the same areas and only get you a small item. Plus iirc there's no easy way to travel the world unlike Earthbound. You gotta just run everywhere
