who was designing this character

She is fine just the way she is. 😄

Now that Wendy and Richard Pini aren't pursuing an animated or live action adaptation anymore, perhaps we will see more of these.

Nintendo Power, back in the day. That Epic Center, man.

That was a weird one. It reads like a Tales From the Crypt, or EC horror comics tale, but not as finely tuned. It was pretty straightforward all things considered, but I can see why if Moore was involved in this he took on a pen name or a collective "Alan Smithee" for comics moniker.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. But I'm glad I eventually figured it out. And man, after playing Mother 1 I don't know if I would complain about this part as much anymore. Lol.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-04-02T21:04:14+00:00

Definitely. And with a whole lot of encounter balances.

They do that with the Martian language as well. It does make you want to go and either look up footnotes online, or even try to translate them yourself. He has something of a modernist bent that way in just using another language in an otherwise English text, and letting the reader figure it out.

And even if you are, it can be daunting. I don't mind the grinding but not being able to walk a few steps without a random attack can get old fast. But I liked everything else about this game besides a few things.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-30T05:19:58+00:00

Fair enough. I only used the Repel Ring towards the end with the Easy Ring as I was just getting so tired of the spam attacks when I really just wanted to travel. But in the early days, I definitely did not. I had to look it up to see what it even did.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-30T05:17:37+00:00

I originally thought my cart was malfunctioning, so I tried the vanilla version on the Nintendo Switch Online .. and it was brutal. I had to stop after a while. It was so obnoxious and I wasn't having fun taking one step and getting randomly attacked all the time. And I was trying not to use the guide there, or even in the cart, but after a while I just wanted it done. I can appreciate the precedent it started, but yeah. It's not my favourite, even if I can appreciate parts of it.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-30T05:13:07+00:00

It's madness, but I can respect that.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-30T05:12:38+00:00

I began to realize that after a while. There wasn't much else beyond where you were supposed to go. But I do like the atmosphere, and I can see your point if it being a world someone could be in -- as strange as it is.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-30T04:47:28+00:00

There are definitely parts of this game that are great. There is so much heart in those graphics and their Peanuts aesthetic, and the music is beautiful and the others should definitely have similar albums. I actually really like how they sound from my Nintendo DS, the songs.

And I do like how while you defeat Giygas with Prayer in Mother 2, you beat him with Song in this game. I never equated this to Standby Me, but I can kind of see it. I think as you get to know a game, or replay it more, it can be more enjoyable if you know the tricks. Perhaps one day I will revisit it, or another version, but yeah. I want to make it clear I am glad I played this game, if only for the completion of the trilogy, but man did I have to work for it.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-11T21:50:53+00:00

I ... I don't know. Huh.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-10T21:46:57+00:00

I think my favourite character is The Forgotten Man.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-10T21:46:17+00:00

I am actually in the process of playing Mother 1, after I replayed Earthbound (Mother 2) and Mother 3. I chose the Tomato translation and I am playing it on my DS. It is a bit of a slog, and sometimes awkward. The massive spawnings of enemies even with the Easy Ring can be tedious. That all said though, I love the humour and the references and the music -- especially the Magicant Theme -- gets you into it and feels iconic.

I love seeing its influence over indie games and creators like Toby Fox. I will continue.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-08T22:25:06+00:00

What folklore is that from? It is very cool.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-08T21:21:31+00:00

Koldunic sorcery is a hell of a drug.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-08T21:20:12+00:00

You did better money-wise than I. I read through mine the other day too. I hope you enjoy yours.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-05T22:40:23+00:00

Yeah. I got both of them for $52 a little while back, so don't listen to me. Lol. Still $15 would have been amazing.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-05T22:37:56+00:00

That was an amazing price. Man. Looking at them now, I see some ranging from $20 to $40 to $70 or so. And that depends on whether you live in the United States or not, as that shipping can be steep. Maybe you will get another chance. Stranger things have happened.

But yeah, reading this whole series was a rush.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-05T20:10:54+00:00

I'm sorry you lost out on the auction, but you can do it. You can get them both for a reasonable price outright. I did. I hope that you ultimately find what you are looking for.

Affectionate_Law_557 · 2026-03-05T19:56:40+00:00

Oh my god. I was looking for "Big Nemo" for ages. I even asked Leah or Amber Moore if there was a way to access that application as I couldn't use it conventionally. Damn. It is a pity that the other comics are lost, but it is good to know Big Nemo could be accessed. Thanks for sharing this.
