Top Comments of this video!! :3
When Satoru Iwata died I was old enough to get the news but too young to realise what an important role he played at Nintendo. I didn´t know that he also played an important role in saving this game so I´m glad that you used the last moments of the video to salute him. He wasn´t a normal CEO and will always be remembered as a true legend.

Earthbound really is something special, and you did a fantastic job covering why it's so great. I had to skip around a little bit since I still haven't beaten it myself (I know, I know) but I still thoroughly enjoyed this video. This series clearly means a lot to you, and it's awesome to listen to you talk about it for so long. And that tribute to Satoru Iwata was just beautiful. Miss that man everyday. I'm looking forward to coming back to this video later on once I've beaten it and watching the few sections I skipped, but until then, bravo my friend, bravo. The runtime alone shows that this was a pure labor of love for you, and I'm glad you completed it successfully and that it turned out so terrific. Now get some well earned rest!

I just recently made my first ever playthrough of earthbound, i needed to know why people call this game a masterpiece
I am a person who even if something emotional happens on a movie or a game i am just like ¨meh¨
How TF this game made me shed a tear???? Like seriously, this is the first time a game makes me feel emotional with its messages about family and stuff
This game is the best game i have ever played, and when i have free time i am going to play it again

Thank you for all the passion and effort put into this fantastic retrospective. Having a hunch on how you were going to conclude the video, it still got me in the feels and yet am comforted that the emotional gratitude towards Iwata, Itoi and all involved in creating this amazing game will always have a place in our hearts.

Got me in tears at the end, bro. All together an absolutely beautiful video. I was one of the few weirdos who actually liked the marking in 1995 and just had to have this game. I still have my original copy. Sadly, my player's got lost during a move many years ago. This still is my all time favorite game.

It's been many years since I got to experience Earthbound for the first time, and the impression it left is something unique. This kind of videos help me to recreate that same feeling. Listening to people talk about each and every aspect of the game, the characters, music, all sorts of feelings and such... I just love it. I might someday make my own.
As the old saying goes, "No crying until the end"

Here's a way to make the beginning of the game much more tolerable:
Before going down to Onett after you bring Pokey/Porky and Picky home, go back up the hill to visit Lier X. Agerate. Why? Because you'll encounter a few enemies going up and down the hill, giving you some experience/level ups and most importantly easy money for the equipment you can buy in Onett. Plus, seeing the Mani Mani Statue in Agerate's house is some nice foreshadowing!
After visiting Agerate's house and you're going down to Onett, make sure you visit that hidden treehouse and get the Mr. Baseball cap, then go out and buy the Tee ball bat and Cheap bracelet. In my experiences, that not only made the beginning fights with Frank's gang a breeze, it also made my friends' first playthroughs much easier.
This stuff is also mentioned in the game's big and colorful Player's Guide, so it's probably what the devs intended anyway! Give it a shot next time.
tl;dr: If you want smooth-sailing through Onett: 1.) after Buzz Buzz, visit Lier X. Agerate's house before going down to fight Frank, fighting enemies you encounter for experience and money, 2.) get the Mr. Baseball cap from the treehouse, and 3.) buy the Tee ball bat + Cheap bracelet with the money from the Lier X. Agerate trip.

Just caught a mistake near the end of the video where I mention a certain date. I mean to say July 11th, not July 7th. The correct date is used shortly after when it's brought up again, though!
