>don't listen to the midwit theorists The fetus theory has legs, the issue is the common interpretation is fricking moronic and ignores the themes of the rest of the game. Fetus imagery, if it was intentionally used in the final fight, was more likely just meant to represent the loss of innocence (which is far more cohesive with the whole "Giygas was inspired by a sex scene young Itoi saw" thing) than it is to be some out of left field political statement on fricking abortion of all things.

Giygas is just a red, distorted Giegue. Though the baby head is pretty coincidental.
This is the actual in-game file of Giygas's background, the fetuses are clear as day and there is no possible way they were unintentional. The "upside down" fan theory image is spliced together and doesn't appear anywhere in the game. You are actually autistic and moronic if you believe it.

Turn-based JRPG about kids in a suburban American town who sort of pretend and do grown-up stuff trying to foil an unforseen plot while ann of the grown-ups are being inept and/or weird.
The gameplay is Paper Mario though.
Is the Mother 1 localization really bad? Like the ENG bothered to add an epilogue; And some dialogue changes arent enough to make a localization "horrible"
Earthbound was an irrelevant game that made fun of Japanese culture under the guise of Itoi's view of American culture. The dated look of it and the really absurd nature of it all is part of this.
8 or 9 year-olds don't have foot fetishes you lying shit

Not true. Mine developed about the time I was in Kindergarten. At a school festival one of the games was a small inflatable pool with marbles in it and bubbles so you couldn’t see the bottom. You had to grab as many as you could in the time limit. Cute girl I had a crush on sat next to me and would play footsies during the game. After that I started having dreams about it and whenever I’d see a cute girl I’d imagine her putting her feet on me. It wasn’t sexual until I got older but it was there. Would always look at cute feet of girls in classes and in sales catalogs we had at home for like Sears/JCPenny and shit.

I suppose you're correct. foot fetish maybe was the wrong term to call it. It wasn't sexual back then, i just really really liked feet and didn't know why till later.
Because there is a dedicated cabal of shitposters that attack anything and everything popular all day every day, making the same thread over and over and fricking over. You think it's "people" but it's like 20 frickers who decided to dedicate their lives to making the site worse.
Because this place has been taken over by normies and ReeeeERA level posters worried more about ideology and or shilling. No gamers anymore. Remember that free discussion forums that can't be destroyed have to be subverted instead.
Earthbound is more subtle and maybe even unintentional, while its copies are less so.
Besides, I feel like I've seen this sentiment for a decade, it's nothing new.
Yiik perfected the formula. There is nothing else left to be said.
gotta love to see the contrarian effect in motion regarding that game
the frick is that
I hate all turn based rpg regardless of popularity, it's just a bad combat system. Also I love dicky feet so I will keep watching this thread
I dont. Still waiting on knuckle sandwich
Anything else coming out that seems interesting? I'm keeping tabs on Other: Her Loving Embrace.
Earthbound and it's offshoots are all pretentious
Itoi is more of a hippie, not really a snob. it's offshoots are often pretentious sure.
There's a lot you could criticize Earthbound for, but it's far from pretentious. If anything it's irreverent.
what is pretentious about earthbound
don't listen to the midwit theorists, the ending was just made to be shocking and strange for the sake of it

You're asking concrete and square nerds to use abstract thought to understand concepts and themes of a game written by a japanese novelist.
It ain't gonna happen.
Giygas is just a red, distorted Giegue. Though the baby head is pretty coincidental.
Is there no official concept art or anything of mother 1 giygas?
The baby head is still visible in your disingenuous dogshit image. have a nice day you actual mouthbreathing moron
He said the baby head was visible you moron.

t. has never played earthbound or a single mother game
Because the fans and the creator tend to be gays
Holy frick are those CUTE FEET?!
yes
e-girl feet, cute
Hag feet, hot
aubrey sexo...
YUCK
thumbnail looked like oppai e-girl but it's just regular e-girl. You scammed my wiener.
LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
aside from undertale, what other earthbound indie rpg's are out? I really liked mother 3
whoa they made the beehive from lisa real?
>why do people hate
Most, if not all of them are insufferable wokeshit made by zoomers with pronouns in their bios.

Literally all the notable ones are created by millennials.

The devs literally cited Earthbound as inspiration.
>even though the creator didn't know of EB
That's because the creator played the OG Mother(JP original source)
Not the shitty ENG "localized" crap

so I'm hearing "cult classic unappreciated in it's time"
Sample image because Ganker has a stupid 4MB limit and the original is 11MB
I need at least 2tb of a single image of Mari's feet
My eyes keep swapping from her face to her booty.
Earthbound inspired games are cringe because they are made by western devs trying to emulate japanese weirdness.
i want to frick Basil
post him
Here ya go, anon
I want sunny to smother in his sister's pits
>GROOMori
> Undertale
Take more from just earthbound.
> Omori
Literally takes more from Silent Hill 2 and OFF than from Earthbound
this doesn't happen in real life
You never had cute feet on your lap anon?
My big sister use to do this. She thought my foot fetish was cute when i was younger
how old were you?
8 or 9.
8 or 9 year-olds don't have foot fetishes you lying shit

i've literally done this to someone before anon it works
Because they're fricking bad at it.
I miss "caring sister like Mari" threads but then again, most of art was reposted each time, with little new.
Sex.
that one artist just really nailed it with his version of Mari. Others do not capture that part of sexy innocence
They’re shit but holy frick I wanna frick Omocat, her voice is pure sex
I am the son of sparda, yo

MARK
I'M LOOKING FOR MYSTICAL ULTIMA LP LEGEND
DO YOU HAVE IT
GIVE IT TO ME!!! JUST GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!
Its kind of funny how that review is way more popular then the game its talking about.
This is Undertale inspired, not Earthbound inspired.
If an rpg has has a modern setting or has any humor in it its an earthbound clone
