MOTHER series dialogue thread

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Welcome back, @Cychlo!

I have always wanted to watch the Earthbound/Mother series, since I loved playing as Ness in the original Nintendo 64 Super Smash Bros. Like @JustaDumbThriver, I started to be interested when MatPat was still host of the Game Theorist channels (I still miss him).

First, I need to finish watching the first half of FFXIV: A realm reborn. It takes a loooong time to watch the content, specially since the person I watch does not skip the dialgoues and takes time to do all the quests (including optional sidequests).

With AA’s response, in due time there’ll be 3…

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Maybe by 2026, there will be 10!

Edit: @AnthropocenianAge Do you just say “watch” instead of “play?” Because buying a video game can put stress on anybody’s finance… while rom downloading is free!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe they don’t have the time to properly play it so they watch it instead?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah, I geuss that is a possibility.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Other option is that they don’t really wish to play all these games because maybe they’re too expensive…

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Well, downloading the rom is free, you can just get it on Fantasy Anime.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

And it’s pretty light too…

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Very light like most SNES games… I bet you can actually have a few hundred SNES games on your hard drive nowadays.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I might try it someday.

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

In Earthbound (Mother 2), one of the battle lines is this:
“The Hippie pulled out a ruler! Now, he can find the length of things easily.”

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well, as long as the things can be measured easily…

[Cychlo]

that actually makes his accuracy go up, and isn’t just a wasted turn! (idk if this is common knowledge or not but I only found out recently lol)

According to starmen.net’s guide for enemies, it just does nothing: STARMEN.NET - EBDB - New Age Retro Hippie

[Cychlo]

oh… looks like i have been fooled

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

The only real use is to give it to a monkey and advance the story, apparently.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So a thing similar to the fly honey cause?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

No, you can only give it to a monkey for a quest, it does not matter. I assume the quest gives you money or something.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So you’ve never completed it?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

I never even got to the monkey… Currently in my plraythrough I’m at the Happy Happy Village, which is overrun by a cult.
