    You know why the giant moles in the mine all claim to be the third strongest? Its because each mole fought each other mole one-on-one, and they each won twice and lost twice since they're identical. So they think they're the third most powerful.

    18:13 lol imagine if you played mother 2 after mother 1 and they kept this scene intact. you go in and the game gives you the option to sing to gyiyg and you think it's just gonna be another fight like the first game, so you do and nothing happens, and then porky calls you a dumbass lmao
    also the running gag with the signs wouldve been so interesting too im sad these were removed over time, imo these wouldve made the game even better even if you didnt have context from the previous game or anything.

    MAD respect to fan translators like Aeon Genesis and of course Clive Mandelin with MOTHER 3. I'm an Evangelion fan, so I know it's hard as shit to translate Japanese to English especially in the context of a game, movie, or series since they're constantly moving and have space limits like lip flaps or dialogue boxes, so guys going out of their way to translate ENTIRE RPGS solely out of love and passion is absolutely insane and they deserve all the recognition in the world.

    • @Zeverinsen

    When we talk about Earthbound we always refer to its mechanics, gameplay and its characteristics, from the smallest to the largest, however when we talk about these moments no one can forget that strange moment of the Monotoli tower when we reached the 48th floor, In the long corridor that connected the elevator and some doors, 2 of the rest could be distinguished, one with a red glass, and the other with a blue glass (you could say that they were the bathrooms), and when you approached these doors you could not pass , only a dialogue appeared that said "*groan" when you tried to enter one of the doors, as a child one could think that it was someone hurt, but now as an adult one can say that that was not the meaning of that message, maybe if and we are all misguided but for me it is something extremely strange. Honestly it is a particular detail of this game, as something that could seem like something for children 12 and up hid this little detail in the Monotoli tower, which is in Fourside.

    I would bet the bad pun guy in the bar being named "Jimmy" is actually a reference to a famous comedian in Japan named Jimmy. There's even a docu-drama about him on netflix titled "Jimmy: The True Story of a True Idiot"

    I think "pank" for "flat tire" is supposed to be a short hand for puncture, but in kana it would spell something like "pankuchaa". Hence "pank".

    • @AluminumFusion22
      @AluminumFusion22 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @A guy with no content It was most likely scrapped due to oil massages being associated with nuru massages in Japan, an erotic oil massage and they probably thought that seemed weird even in the original Japanese version.

    I forget whose name you said it was, but Prettz caught my attention, there's this two episode OVA based roughly on Final Fantasy 5 where the main character is given the name Prettz, and, if you know your FF5, the main character was incorrectly translated to Bartz... but his name is actually Buttz. So, that's a weird name to just drop in out of nowhere.
