Earthbound Zero. Or Mother. Or Earthbound Beginnings, whatever you wanna call it. I think it's pretty good and I'll try to maybe show you why a little bit today.

4:40 the fact that there’s a photo of toby fox wearing a homestuck shirt sitting next to shigesato itoi is just incredible

I was shocked when Magicant dissappeared. The sense of having a safe haven was just gone, especially with EVE turned into junk. There was this feeling of dread and uneasiness, fear even. It felt like THE ENDGAME.

Me when I was a kid watching LPs of Mother: Wow, $60 to cure a cold, that's outrageous. Me as an adult: Wow, Itoi is spot on with American healthcare!

"Duncan's Factory was worse than Mt. Itoi." I've been saying this for years feels good knowing someone else understands.

I clicked the video expecting the hundredth review of Mother, but I got a video of an authentic experience. I just felt I was talking and chilling with a friend the whole time. The jokes, the ambience, the pace of the chat, everything was so good. I'm glad you made this video, and I'm glad I found it. Hopefully it gets to other people as well, and I hope to see more content from you. Good luck! And no crying until the end.

My favorite part of this game is that it gives you JUST enough story to get your imagination going to fill in the gaps. It's super vague with a lot of stuff, but you almost don't even notice because you kind of intuitively paint a picture of what's missing in your head. And that just makes me love the game all the more. Mother 1 best Mother.

Mother 1 is so under appreciated. I kinda like the novelization a lot for giving us the story through Ana's eyes. My theory for Pippi is that she heard about the zombies and tried to fight them herself. Pippi is actually incredibly strong; her stats are identical to Teddy's. She's just at a much lower level considering how early we meet her. Given her hair and her last name, shes based off of Pippi Longstocking, whose whole gimick was being freakishly strong. Also in the Book, Ninten (Ken) describes her as "a girl who can do anything". So I imagine this 7 year old probably was able to take down a zombie or two with her fists when she heard there was trouble in Podunk.

That explanation you had about the battles on the black background being uncomfortable...that really made me appreciate it a lot more. I really just perceived it as lazyness/hardware limitations but seeing that way is actually very cool. Makes me want a game with legit HD characters in a black void for an RPG, it would be so disturbing!

I legitimately cannot thank you enough for making this video. Mother 1 feels so unique compared to the others, and that's what I've always loved about it. I feel like there's so few people who share my love for it, so seeing this video put the biggest smile on my face. I really hope this video hits big with the algorithm, as I feel this game deserves the love and credit its younger siblings get. Thank you again for making this <3

I think I like the idea more that Ninten and Teddy were just straight-up throwing hands rather than using weapons, that shit is just so funny yet so badass for some reason.

The fact you put a picture of Contact for DS as an example warms my heart. I absolutely adore that game, and it seems like NO ONE talks about it, let alone even knows about it

25:45 Probably because it's a fish and that the item is a hook, this making it an ironic situation.

A good early game strategy is to keep Pippi, she has a really fast level up and damage curve, it can help you grind levels even though the experience is split because you can fight at the zoo way earlier. I've found this cuts down a lot on the early game pain, plus it thematically makes sense that friendship is helping to make the early game easier or something like that.

Mother 1 underrated af So charming and yet so painfully ignored.

Mother 1 deserves so much more attention than it gets. For an 8-bit NES game it was very impressive. Especially the music! Also, really enjoyed the video! Had to rewind a few times from laughing too much 😂

i really like the old internet style of editing you use, its really nostalgic while actually being good for this type of video

your style is such a refreshing departure from most of "gaming retrospective" youtube that I otherwise put on to fall asleep to; you obviously put in a huge amount of work and the end result feels genuine and conversational while respecting the viewer's intelligence in a way few can actually manage. great stuff!
