Little kids before going to sleep check if there are no monsters under the bed. Little monsters before going to sleep check if there's no Ness under the bed.
2:25 I just realized Ness is crying in the phone booth because he's homesick. I love the attention to detail and all the references. It feels like this fit in almost everything you'd experience in a play through of Earthbound
I like how Paula is beating the crap outta that crocodile thing. Forgot its name, haven’t played Earthbound in like a year, I can only remember run away dog
Funny, these comments bring me back to the video, and I notice new things still. When going through the desert, Paula has a Wet Towel on her head. And one of the Tendas has the cup of coffee you get offered in Tenda Village.
Jakob Thomas Just to point it out, but not everything is exactly the same -Skyrunner went into the graveyard -Enemies ambushed in the hotel -Poo used Starstorm on Master Barf -No minecart in Giygas’s lair (but this is obviously just a cool addition not anything wrong) Or maybe these were all just done to make the video better?
Brings a tear to my eye: My dad tried to convince me to play earthbound when I was little, and as a young kid, (I’m in my teens now) I refused, but when I watched my dad play the game, I fell in love. One of those ‘love at first sight’ things. My dad narrated every part of dialogue we came across, and as I watched him play the game, and come across enemies he cursed at, and laugh at Pokey, we actually grew closer, over a game, I am in my teens now as I said and have beat the game over 4 times, this animation is so special because it reminds me of my dad and this amazing game, this may as well be our favorite video on the internet, best game ever. By far my favorite. (LOCALIZE MOTHER 3!!)

I'll never forget... I was a 9 year old boy just starting out with Mario RPGs when one day, realising I was starting to like RPGs, my dad suggested I start playing EarthBound. He hated RPGs himself, but still decided to look some up anyway, and eventually came across EarthBound. So I decided to take his advice and start playing the game. DAMN. It was love at first sight. An obsession began. An experience that would always stay with me for my entire life. It started a journey into the world of MOTHER and games inspired by the series. To this day, Mother 3 remains one of the only three games to ever make me cry. I find myself replaying the games constantly, never growing bored. I owe so much of my happiness to EarthBound. Thank you, Itoi-san.
You see, what makes the Mother series so beautiful, is that every single title is about love, literally. You play these titles like ordinary RPGs just until the end, like Teddy said in Mother 1: "we can't just beat them with brute force". When reaching the final part, you always have to take a different approach, and it always involves using love as a tool to beat the final boss, being it singing a song, praying to your loved ones, or going through the psychological trauma of both of you. Itoi made fun of RPGs as a genre, but at the end, he gave the message that he wanted to share, that love can surpass anything, hence the slogan, "no cry until the end". We may not get Mother 4, but if we practice the series' values, it's legacy will keep on forever.
I've had this video in my "Watch Later" list for years, since I didn't want to watch it before beating the game myself. Well, today I can finally see this gem of a video and feel a stronger connection with it than I would have felt otherwise.
The first time I beat Earthbound, I was 19. When everyone returned to Saturn Village, and Paula asked me to return her home, and I thought for a moment. In any other game, I would’ve just used the fast travel spell and finished the game quick. But I had been on such an incredible journey, all I felt I could do is walk her home. So took the long way to Twoson, remembering our adventures along the way, taking the scenic route. I teared when she said goodbye to Ness and went back to her parents, but I knew they’d see each other again, I just wouldn’t get to witness it. And so I walked back to Ness’ home outside of Onett, and finally ended my journey.
I ended things a little differently. Because she asked to go home, I felt like I couldn’t keep her waiting. I fast-travelled back to Twoson and dropped her home there and then. But then I spent an hour or two travelling the whole world on foot, and saying goodbye to everyone else on my own. You can’t finish the game without Paula, but in turn she’s also fragile and needs your protection. It felt really special to me to have that space at the end of the game to reflect and revisit the places I’d been with her, once I was no longer responsible for keeping anyone else safe, and was free to just be regular kid Ness in them. I feel like maybe that’s what the bicycle was put in the game for really. It’s a wonderful story. I love that everyone gets to take their own route to the end in whatever way means the most to them.
i bought Earthbound on my 3DS right before the eShop shut down for good. it’s a game i always heard about growing up in the 2010s (mostly because of Undertale haha) but never really had much interest in until recently. i played it for a little bit, but it didn’t really click for me, so i ended up dropping it for a couple months. i picked it up again at the beginning of the year, and i’m completely in love with it!! everything about it is so fun, charming, and memorable. I haven’t finished it yet, but i can say with confidence that Earthbound is in my top 5 favorite games now. I love rewatching this video as i get further in my playthrough. i love that i can recognize more and more characters, plot points, and set pieces from the game. i rarely tear up because of songs or other media, but i’d be lying if i said i didn’t get misty-eyed when i watched this for the first time. i dunno if anyone still reads these comments, but i just wanted to say that, like many of you, i am incredibly glad that Earthbound exists. thank you so much for making this beautiful music video EDIT: i finally finished the game last night. truth be told, i took a pretty long break soon after i wrote this comment because I had gotten to Gigyas already and i didn't want the game to end haha. anyway i absolutely loved the ending. fighting Porky and Gigyas was one of the most emotional experiences ive ever had playing a game. saying goodbye to all my friends, escorting Paula home, the photo album... the final few minutes of the game were so incredibly moving. Earthbound is a truly fantastic game, and i am very glad i got to experience it
I thought this video was forever gone to be “kids content” or removed all together for copyright. I guess i should be doing more believing myself lol. Mother fan or not you have to find some part of yourself to respect the tenacity some people like the mother fanbase have to preserve any mother content so that it can still be seen and viewed. Like first flagged for kids content and copyright strikes? What’s next? 😄
I remember showing Earthbound to my younger cousin because he kept begging. Then he wouldn’t stop crying because he thought it was scary and now *I’M* the asshole because he would not shut up.
Hey OP, I'm PRETTY sure you didn't know and will never know, but with this video, you created a web-serie, and furthermore, filled a young boy's dream. Your video inspired me forever. The song, the animation, the tone, the colors, everything built my cinemaric universe forever. You're important for me. You're important for a lot of people. Your art is filled with love, and I am trying to achieve it. God bless you.

I remember when I was about 15, I injured my back and could barely walk for long time. I was watching a lot of animations and I stumbled across this one and gosh I adored it. It's one of the very few animations I actually still remember - it sparked a lot in me. Because of this animation, my love for digital cartoony art was born AND it made me buy earthbound (which is now one of my all time favorite games.) I spent a good portion of my recovery playing it, as it took my mind off the pain and boredom of not being able to walk. I love this video so much and have to come back to it every year! 😊 I'll always be thankful for it for motivating me to try out new things, and making me really happy during a rocky part of my life.
Ive had earthbound for a long time getting dusty, man it was an awsome game, im playing it again on my switch and computer, its my all time fave, and this animation is beautiful

Truly a timeless adventure. While I haven't been playing as long as most, EarthBound has captivated me in ways few other games have. This is one of the only videos on UA-cam that truly captures the pure essence of why I love this game (and series) so much. I always love revisiting this masterpiece again and again when I seek inspiration for writing and creating my own EB videos, and for that, I thank you. To the people who spent such a long time producing this video, know that your efforts have touched the hearts of nearly two million people, and that your art will be remembered for years to come. Keep on keepin' on you guys =)
Same here, I love this series and I really wanna play the whole thing but what really gets me apart from the emotional attachment to the characters and that really well written story is just that I miss my mom...
It's somewhat fitting how this song, which is about maintaining your belief no matter the circumstances, has gone through multiple situations where the only thing the viewers could do was pray and hope that it returned to its original glory
i know this sounds stupid.. but i honestly felt like i was gonna cry watching this. earthbound was one of the first games ive ever played and its probably one of the reasons i got into gaming.. this is amazing. thank you. edit: i look back on this comment now and i cringe, despite this comment still being true. lost my shit when i heard this was taken down, thank god it's back up. is and always will be the best video on this site.
One day, I decided I was going to go on my own adventure, but it started raining really hard once I got halfway there. I was alone in a city where nobody knew or cared who I was. Homesickness really hurts, so I called my mom, and sure enough, after talking to her, I felt so much better, and was able to finish my adventure up and down Oregon and california. I was 19 back then. I'm 33 now, my Mom's been gone for 6 years, I just wish I could still fix it by calling her, but nobody is there.
This might be my favourite video on the internet. The mother 8 melodies at the end is a beautiful and emotional nod to the underrated sequel to this game that started my favourite video game series of all time. On behalf of millions of others, thank you for making this work of art. No other game in any way shape or form comes close to how Earthbound charmed me, taught me life lessons, or even just helped me out if I was in a depressing time of my life, or if I was just having a bad day. Earthbound was like the best friend I always wanted but never had. It's funny, charismatic, dark in a way, never boring, and I'm always finding something new about it everyday. So I thank you greatly, Mr. SaganYee, for making this, or even if this wasn't yours, im glad you uploaded it so others can see. This game made me laugh, cry, angry (with the monkey cave haha) or emotional and gave me a better outlook on life. If you compare me before earthbound and me after it, you see a massive difference. I'm not sure if I would be mentally healthy, or even sane if I never discovered earthbound. So I thank SaganYee, Chuggaaconroy (for introducing me to Earthbound), and the creator of this entire series, Shigesato Itoi. Aswell as everyone who read down to here and liked the comment. Have a good day guys :) -A random fuzzy pickler on the internet
I hope. I remember experiencing this game for the first time through him back when I wondered if I’d ever have a chance to play the game. Really must finish the game.
Rewatching this makes me realize how much earthbound really means to me. I’m so glad I decided to play it because this game means so much to me. I get some nostalgia watching and hearing this.
I don’t know how I’ve never seen this before. I’m a 38 year old man almost brought to tears watching this. I played this game for the first time when I was in elementary school and it’s stuck with me my whole life. I’ve replayed it about 10 times over the years, but nothing with compare to the absolute magic of playing this game for the first time as a child. Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this beautiful tribute.
I absolutely love how when the party goes into the robot bodies, Ness isn’t the only one with different characteristics. Paula has her bow, Jeff got dem glasses, and since Poo pretty much has a bald egg head, his antenna is longer than the rest. I LOVE THAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL OMG! This is rocking! Keep on!

You may say I'm a fool, Feelin' the way that I do You can call me Pollyanna, Say I'm crazy as a loon, I believe in silver linings And that's why I believe in you! I believe there'll come a day, Maybe it will be tomorrow. When the blue bird flies away, All we have to do is follow. I believe a dream can still come true, Why shouldn't I believe the same in you? You may say I'm a fool, Feelin' the way that I do, I believe in friends and laughter And the wonders love can do, I believe in songs and magic And that's why I believe in you! You may say I'm a fool, Feelin' this way about you, There's not much I can do, I'm gonna be this way my life through 'Cause I still believe in miracles, I swear I've seen a few. And the time will surely come When you can see my point of view. I believe in second chances, And that's why I believe in you! Lyrics of Pollyanna
This animation is what made me play Earthbound It's been a few years since I have beaten it And honestly... I'm glad I found this video, and got into the Mother series. It's a funny game series that has dark times in it, a coming of age story about a boy and his friends teaming up to defeat an evil or chaotic force. Pollyanna, the song, hit me hard, in a good way. As well as Eight Melodies. Tears were shed as I played the game. Was I happy it was over? Yeah, but no. Here's to whatever year the Mother series has reached whenever you're reading this comment. Yeah, you, I don't know who you are but, thanks for listening to some silly person ramble about his infatuation with a game series. Hope you have a great day, boing!

***** I agree with you. It would ruin the charm for me at least. Nintendo should just release Mother and Mother 3 on the eShop. If it were ever possible, which Itoi said it's not, Mother 4 for Wii U or 3DS would be great.

The Ending feels very rewarding...it something that I can't put into words. You have to play it to and beat it to experience it's simplistic but satisfying ending.

Then, suddenly... "The worst has come to pass. Despite the sacrifices of our citizens and the might of our armed forces, the UNITED STATES has been forced to surrender to her enemy. Though they may occupy our borders, our streets and our homes... The enemy will never occupy our SPIRIT. That is why all Americans are now called upon to ACT, to preserve the memory of the United States, clear and bright, untarnished and uncompromised. Know that I have already TAKEN ACTION in the company of family and loved ones. Now ALL AMERICANS - every man, woman and child - are called upon to ACT before the moment passes by. Let our united resolve echo through history: Even in defeat, we refused to yield. Even in defeat we claim VICTORY." And yeah, that's right, that is the whole first text part of the video.
What a nostalgic work of art this video was. I like how you ended the video with the melody in the first mother game. In my opinion better than the melody in the second.
Imagine travelling to the future to create an empire founded on the glorification of yourself & the complete destruction of the natural world, ruining the lives of thousands of peaceful innocents in the process, because you didn't like the kid who lives next door to you despite him being your only friend

When Ness wakes up after he went into his mind and Paula hugs him, not gonna lie it got me. it was so cute. I haven't watched this in a while. But its just as good as I remember it being.
Dude i keep on watching this over and over and it still sends shiver down my back, and you gotta love the hippie i can't recall if its a reference to something cus i swear ive seen something so all together its so perfect.
Another fan told me it reminded him of Robert Crumb; I'm assuming the famous "Keep On Truckin" walk in particular.

**sniff** I'm not crying because I'm sad...no, it's definetley because Poo PSI Teleported into my room and used PSI Flash. Yep. I'm **sniff** not sad. But really, I literally can't express how amazing this video is. The animation is beautiful, and it perfectly describes the wacky, but beautiful world of Earthbound. Very impressive work. You have created one of the best videos of all time.
Ness one of the most amazing kids and hero’s in any video game... he constantly changes the people around hime and stops evil in its tracks... he also matured into a young man in his amazing journey and stoped all evil in himself.. he journeys back to home for a good rest and will never forget any of the adventure he had... this game is amazing
Earthbound changed my life, I was so obsessed with video games because my family always had fights and I blamed myself. So I eventually got so lost in my own little world I was losing track of the real one. It got to the point where after 1 year of playing I had finally gotten to the mani mani statue at the very end of the game. He tells you “How can you save the world if you can’t even save yourself?” and I did just that. I defeated Giygas and at the very end I was completely snapped out when it said “(Name redacted for privacy) prayed for Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poos safety!” I cried for hours. I had finally done what I sought out to do and there was nothing more. For the first time...I was EarthBound
I understand that feeling towards this game. I have 4 year psych degree and I think honestly the player experience in Earthbound is basically a distilled journey inward. It is worth as much as a psych degree or any amount of therapy. It really outlines Joseph Campbell's Hero's tale very well and gets at the very core of metaphore and self psychology/ self healing. I am even thinking about doing my Graduate work on how it can be used as a form of self therapy between the music and the cinematic experience. I play it every so many years amd I still feel like I learn things about myself playing now 20 years later. Best wishes and awesome comment!
it was really close to my experience with this game, my family always had fights and i blamed myself for it too, i hope you are doing well now, i know i do couse of this amazing game and this video
Excuse my french, but this shit got me into Earthbound.. This video hit me so hard, i took mained Ness and Lucas on SSB, played all the games, listened to the album, even made a Discord server about it! (Deleted) Thank you for this video, this is really a masterpiece. Keep working hard!

You see, what makes the Mother series so beautiful, is that every single title is about love, literally. You play these titles like ordinary RPGs just until the end, like Teddy said in Mother 1: "we can't just beat them with brute force". When reaching the final part, you always have to take a different approach, and it always involves using love as a tool to beat the final boss, being it singing a song, praying to your loved ones, or going through the psychological trauma of both of you. Itoi made fun of RPGs as a genre, but at the end, he gave the message that he wanted to share, that love can surpass anything, hence the slogan, "no cry until the end". We may not get Mother 4, but if we practice the series' values, it's legacy will keep on forever.

Do you have a wii u? You can get the game on it, it's onley 10 bucks!
We do have a Wii U and downloaded the game. ^.^
A.K. Murakami Your whole family will love it! :)
I don't have an original copy but I have he Uncut version and it's an amazing game. Cherish the experience and hold it close to your heart :)
I've had this video in my "Watch Later" list for years, since I didn't want to watch it before beating the game myself.
Well, today I can finally see this gem of a video and feel a stronger connection with it than I would have felt otherwise.
The first time I beat Earthbound, I was 19. When everyone returned to Saturn Village, and Paula asked me to return her home, and I thought for a moment. In any other game, I would’ve just used the fast travel spell and finished the game quick. But I had been on such an incredible journey, all I felt I could do is walk her home. So took the long way to Twoson, remembering our adventures along the way, taking the scenic route. I teared when she said goodbye to Ness and went back to her parents, but I knew they’d see each other again, I just wouldn’t get to witness it. And so I walked back to Ness’ home outside of Onett, and finally ended my journey.
I beat the game a week ago and I just walked back and it was amazing
Dish Man it’s a very cathartic feeling the moment you finally get to your house
I mean, who didn't do that?
Yup, things like the incredible conveyance which this is an example of, are why this is a classic.
I ended things a little differently. Because she asked to go home, I felt like I couldn’t keep her waiting. I fast-travelled back to Twoson and dropped her home there and then. But then I spent an hour or two travelling the whole world on foot, and saying goodbye to everyone else on my own.
You can’t finish the game without Paula, but in turn she’s also fragile and needs your protection. It felt really special to me to have that space at the end of the game to reflect and revisit the places I’d been with her, once I was no longer responsible for keeping anyone else safe, and was free to just be regular kid Ness in them. I feel like maybe that’s what the bicycle was put in the game for really.
It’s a wonderful story. I love that everyone gets to take their own route to the end in whatever way means the most to them.

I listen to this every day almost
I love this franchise alot
I've never finished the game but I've been playing since I was 5 and this video has so much Nostalgia
@@mariolinkman4495 You gotta finish it man its a long game but every second you spend playing is worth it.
i bought Earthbound on my 3DS right before the eShop shut down for good. it’s a game i always heard about growing up in the 2010s (mostly because of Undertale haha) but never really had much interest in until recently. i played it for a little bit, but it didn’t really click for me, so i ended up dropping it for a couple months. i picked it up again at the beginning of the year, and i’m completely in love with it!! everything about it is so fun, charming, and memorable. I haven’t finished it yet, but i can say with confidence that Earthbound is in my top 5 favorite games now.
I love rewatching this video as i get further in my playthrough. i love that i can recognize more and more characters, plot points, and set pieces from the game. i rarely tear up because of songs or other media, but i’d be lying if i said i didn’t get misty-eyed when i watched this for the first time. i dunno if anyone still reads these comments, but i just wanted to say that, like many of you, i am incredibly glad that Earthbound exists. thank you so much for making this beautiful music video
EDIT: i finally finished the game last night. truth be told, i took a pretty long break soon after i wrote this comment because I had gotten to Gigyas already and i didn't want the game to end haha. anyway i absolutely loved the ending. fighting Porky and Gigyas was one of the most emotional experiences ive ever had playing a game. saying goodbye to all my friends, escorting Paula home, the photo album... the final few minutes of the game were so incredibly moving. Earthbound is a truly fantastic game, and i am very glad i got to experience it
It warms my heart to see that even today there are still players who discover and appreciate Earthbound !

Almost 9 years later and this still holds up well
I remember when I was about 15, I injured my back and could barely walk for long time. I was watching a lot of animations and I stumbled across this one and gosh I adored it. It's one of the very few animations I actually still remember - it sparked a lot in me. Because of this animation, my love for digital cartoony art was born AND it made me buy earthbound (which is now one of my all time favorite games.) I spent a good portion of my recovery playing it, as it took my mind off the pain and boredom of not being able to walk. I love this video so much and have to come back to it every year! 😊 I'll always be thankful for it for motivating me to try out new things, and making me really happy during a rocky part of my life.

This might be my favourite video on the internet.
The mother 8 melodies at the end is a beautiful and emotional nod to the underrated sequel to this game that started my favourite video game series of all time.
On behalf of millions of others, thank you for making this work of art.
No other game in any way shape or form comes close to how Earthbound charmed me, taught me life lessons, or even just helped me out if I was in a depressing time of my life, or if I was just having a bad day.
Earthbound was like the best friend I always wanted but never had.
It's funny, charismatic, dark in a way, never boring, and I'm always finding something new about it everyday.
So I thank you greatly, Mr. SaganYee, for making this, or even if this wasn't yours, im glad you uploaded it so others can see.
This game made me laugh, cry, angry (with the monkey cave haha) or emotional and gave me a better outlook on life.
If you compare me before earthbound and me after it, you see a massive difference.
I'm not sure if I would be mentally healthy, or even sane if I never discovered earthbound.
So I thank SaganYee, Chuggaaconroy (for introducing me to Earthbound), and the creator of this entire series, Shigesato Itoi. Aswell as everyone who read down to here and liked the comment.

The Ending feels very rewarding...it something that I can't put into words. You have to play it to and beat it to experience it's simplistic but satisfying ending.
тнαт уσѕнι the hole game is like that it just has that charm that cant be explsined
well i was emulating it and accidentally overwrote my save file with my mother 3 file and i was fighting giygas.
Mr. Squig Don't emulate it. Just buy it on virtual console.
Pollyanna Lyrics:
I believe the morning sun
Always gonna shine again, and,
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end, oh
I believe in roses kissed with dew,
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
I believe in make believe,
Fairy tales and lucky charms and,
I believe in promises,
Spoken as you cross your heart, oh,
I believe in skies forever blue,
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool,
Feeling the way that I do
You can call me Pollyanna,
Say I'm crazy as a loon,
I believe in silver linings
And that's why I believe in you!
I believe there'll come a day,
Maybe it will be tomorrow.
When the blue bird flies away,
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true,
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool,
Feeling the way that I do,
I believe in friends and laughter
And the wonders love can do,
I believe in songs and magic
And that's why I believe in you!
You may say I'm a fool,
Feeling this way about you,
There's not much I can do,
I'm gonna be this way my life through
Cause I still believe in miracles, I swear I've seen a few.
And the time will surely come when you can see my point of view
I believe in second chances,
And that's why I believe in you!
8 Melodies Lyrics:
Take a melody
Simple as can be
Give it some words and
sweet harmony
Raise your voices
All day long now,
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of
Love, oh love
Thanks so much! :D
Thanks for putting the lyrics up here!
I'm crying because of the lyrics rn
Then, suddenly...
"The worst has come to pass.
Despite the sacrifices of our citizens and the might of our armed forces, the UNITED STATES has been forced to surrender to her enemy.
Though they may occupy our borders, our streets and our homes... The enemy will never occupy our SPIRIT.
That is why all Americans are now called upon to ACT, to preserve the memory of the United States, clear and bright, untarnished and uncompromised.
Know that I have already TAKEN ACTION in the company of family and loved ones. Now ALL AMERICANS - every man, woman and child - are called upon to ACT before the moment passes by.
Let our united resolve echo through history: Even in defeat, we refused to yield.
Even in defeat we claim VICTORY."
And yeah, that's right, that is the whole first text part of the video.

What the hell is this?
What a nostalgic work of art this video was. I like how you ended the video with the melody in the first mother game. In my opinion better than the melody in the second.
Guys it's ok the dislikes are all from Moonsidians.
Edit: Well this aged terribly.
Yep Moonsidians and Porky
Ok good l was worried there
Porky also dislike the video.
Soonwel to cosidme!
So does that mean... We're disliking the video?
Imagine travelling to the future to create an empire founded on the glorification of yourself & the complete destruction of the natural world, ruining the lives of thousands of peaceful innocents in the process, because you didn't like the kid who lives next door to you despite him being your only friend

初めてこのゲームをしてから、時間が流れてたくさんの出来事があったけど、この動画をみて涙が出る自分はあの頃MOTHER2にかじりついてた自分と変わってないなって。
Though we've never met and are probably oceans apart, I feel the same. Even now, this video makes me tear up. Almost enough to make me cry in public 😭
Thank you for a very nice reply. I'm sure we have similar sensibilities. You once again showed me that borders and race don't matter.I feel like I could cry again, thank you so much.

When Ness wakes up after he went into his mind and Paula hugs him, not gonna lie it got me. it was so cute. I haven't watched this in a while. But its just as good as I remember it being.

This song and video even 10 years later still manages to bring me to tears without fail every time
Dude i keep on watching this over and over and it still sends shiver down my back, and you gotta love the hippie i can't recall if its a reference to something cus i swear ive seen something so all together its so perfect.
Another fan told me it reminded him of Robert Crumb; I'm assuming the famous "Keep On Truckin" walk in particular. I'm not sure if that's what you were thinking of, but it definitely seems familiar to me too, though I'm not sure why! cache.boston.com/resize/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2009/02/11/1234403719_1839/539w.jpg
Yeah your right it's perfect there almost nothing better than this :D
I know that feeling. Your like "I remember that part and that part!" It really is a great video

**sniff** I'm not crying because I'm sad...no, it's definetley because Poo PSI Teleported into my room and used PSI Flash. Yep. I'm **sniff** not sad.
But really, I literally can't express how amazing this video is. The animation is beautiful, and it perfectly describes the wacky, but beautiful world of Earthbound. Very impressive work. You have created one of the best videos of all time.
poo doesn't have psi flash...
@@thedesyncedcontroller7404 Damn for 1 year I never realized that
But when he teleport he teleports all the team so he teleport Ness to so he can do PSI Flash to you
as a long time player of EarthBound....this is EPIC! I LOVE THIS ^_^
Ness one of the most amazing kids and hero’s in any video game... he constantly changes the people around hime and stops evil in its tracks... he also matured into a young man in his amazing journey and stoped all evil in himself.. he journeys back to home for a good rest and will never forget any of the adventure he had... this game is amazing
lucas,ninten
Don't forget him sacrificing himself for Lucas in Super Smash Brothers Brawl!
Honestly, one of the most powerful scenes in the game
Nice dude 👍
Earthbound changed my life, I was so obsessed with video games because my family always had fights and I blamed myself. So I eventually got so lost in my own little world I was losing track of the real one. It got to the point where after 1 year of playing I had finally gotten to the mani mani statue at the very end of the game.
He tells you “How can you save the world if you can’t even save yourself?” and I did just that. I defeated Giygas and at the very end I was completely snapped out when it said “(Name redacted for privacy) prayed for Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poos safety!” I cried for hours. I had finally done what I sought out to do and there was nothing more. For the first time...I was EarthBound
I understand that feeling towards this game. I have 4 year psych degree and I think honestly the player experience in Earthbound is basically a distilled journey inward. It is worth as much as a psych degree or any amount of therapy. It really outlines Joseph Campbell's Hero's tale very well and gets at the very core of metaphore and self psychology/ self healing. I am even thinking about doing my Graduate work on how it can be used as a form of self therapy between the music and the cinematic experience. I play it every so many years amd I still feel like I learn things about myself playing now 20 years later. Best wishes and awesome comment!
it was really close to my experience with this game, my family always had fights and i blamed myself for it too, i hope you are doing well now, i know i do couse of this amazing game and this video
is "Giygas", not "gigyas"
That's a wonderful story, but now I'm not sure if I should feel bad for beating the game in 5 days, or if you're slow at playing games.

don’t be - I beat it in a week too.
Excuse my french, but this shit got me into Earthbound.. This video hit me so hard, i took mained Ness and Lucas on SSB, played all the games, listened to the album, even made a Discord server about it! (Deleted) Thank you for this video, this is really a masterpiece. Keep working hard!
I love this video so much. The MOTHER series is such a huge part of my life and has a special place in my heart. This video means so much to me, thank you for making it.

Wanna hear something scary?
2 Starmen final using pk star storm and you have no pp
I had to experience this
Marcus Connell please I have something more scary
The monkey caves without a guide book
Something more scary
That stupid guardian mole hole with no pp left on Ness or Paula
Wanna hear something even scarier? Hmm hmm oh having no healing items and bugs using magnet on you when having 7 pp early game
Another scary thing (mother 3)
You're on the barrier trio, and Lucas is out of pp, while Kumatora has fleas.
Fuck, PK MAGNET those bitches!!!!!
Now i want to see a mother 3 video like this one
Ikr I was thinking how cool that would be
It feels forbidden for me to show this to anyone who hasn't played earthbound, because I know they won't have the same experience as me when I saw this video for the first time.
I always watch it alone in my room and that makes me kinda sad :(
