My First Time Playing EarthBound

My First Time Playing EarthBound

The second thing I did besides text the person who convinced me to play it that I had finished it is make this tumblr post. I would say how incredible of a game EarthBound is but I think we all already know that. Let’s get one thing out of the way I am no gamer. The Mother series is the first video games I’ve played in a while. And just getting to Giygas was a challenge but when I got to the part where it says that the player was praying for the characters you bet your ass I was. I genuinely feel so bad for killing all of my flying men.

I had decided to play Mother 1 before EarthBound just to see what it would be like and man was it weird like I immediately knew where the chick in Magicant was from. And there was a bunch of other things that made me think “that doesn’t make sense if you haven’t played M1.”

M1 already made me cry and I also cried a couple of different times during EB. During the 8 melodies flashback, when everyone is praying for Ness’s and his friends’ safety. It’s amazing just how hard emotionally these decades old games can hit. And of course I’m gonna play Mother 3 next. Thank you Mr. Itoi for these wonderful games, and thank you to my best friend who convinced me to play them. I don’t think I will ever forget the experience of playing these games.
