The converstaion the characters had in the elevator is something that 100% should have been in the final game, even if they wanted the elevator to drop down really fast, they still could have had the characters have this conversation as they walked through the cave afterwards, with Flint going up ahead when they reach the present box
See, "Earthbound 3" *would* make sense if either of the other games were called Earthbound 2, but no. Mother 2 was localized as "Earthbound" and Mother 1 was localized as "Earthbound Beginnings." I think both with the established naming scheme, and how titling tends to work in game franchises, I think a non-numbered title would work best like "Earthbound Endings" or "Earthbound Final."
That's a good point. Right now, it's almost as if the localized versions are structured so that "Earthbound" is the first entry, "Earthbound beginnings" is the next entry and a prequel, and Mother 3 is an unreleased sequel to Earthbound. Other ideas off the top of my head for Mother 3's localized name would be "Earthbound Epilogue" or "Earthbound Finale", or maybe they could go for a different approach by calling it "Earthbound: A New Era" due to how radically different the world is compared to the prior two entries. I'm still not really a fan of the ideas I've come up with though, as they don't seem to exude the series' distinctive charm.
Well the game was only released in Japan so... it does makes sense actually. But if we're ever localized then Earthbound endings would make sense maybe they could add in the unused kindness state and happy ending feature to add to that name. Also we know the localizers always try to take unescessary liberties with names of games for no reason.
Kinda obvious when you think about how Duster lived most of his life, being forced to train under Wess most of his life, not being allowed to live a normal childhood, thereby not being able to make any meaningful connections with those around him, think about it, when the villagers around him refer to Duster they just call him “Wess’ son” because they barely know the guy, during the events of Mother 3 he’s around people for the first time in his life, and genuinely enjoying his time with them, knowing that the dragon could destroy the world and by proxy, his friends, he didn’t want to loss them, he didn’t wanna be alone again.
The unused "HAPPY END" sprite was going to be used for the games unused alternate ending which were influenced by the unused kindness stat which would have increased when doing good deeds throughout the game
I’d love to hear Boney’s dog barks and wimpers in the highest quality (Mainly because I think they may be the same as Tao’s from Chibi-robo) I curious if we know what sound resource pack they come from.
i was hoping there is some sort of story arc for Loria and how he became evil... perhaps got brainwashed or asomenia or something... but it's pity that they left it out by simply let New Fassad (Locria) got killed in the sewage...
subbed because you didn't read out titles I could clearly read like every other annoying iceberg video. thanks for not treating me like a child. Even better would be using the titles organically in your explanations of each topic.
I think if Mother 3 ever got localised it should be ‘Earthbound : Fall of the Pig King’ since that was going to be a subtitle for Mother 3 when it was on the N64
Duster's outburst at Locria and him being the only character not to explicitly mention pulling the needle in the elevator conversation are probably pulling from around the same development time...
Perhaps the pulling of the needles would have been a point of contention between himself & Kumatora at some point. Definitely would have been interesting to see
I'm totally on board with the earthbound 3 thing. It would be extremely on-brand for the series. Also, over-analyzing the unused conversation with Locria, while I do agree Duster's outburst is out of character, it makes more sense for it to be him rather than Flint, considering that he had a very recent brush with amnesia himself. My interpretation, anyway, is that Duster feels that Locria is using their amnesia as an excuse to be complacent about the end of the world, as well as a way to evade the consequences of their actions as Fassad, and that as someone who still chose to do good and actively help the world after losing his memory, he's personally offended by that attitude. Idk if that makes any sense, that's just the vibe I picked up.
When I first followed you on Twitter, i had no idea you had a UA-cam channel. After watching this video I decided to subscribe to your channel and watch some more of your videos. I think you deserve way more subscribers!
If there was a good ending… would that mean the final battle would be against the Dragon of darkness. Perhaps with Claus surviving the fatal blow? Delt in the semi-final battle? We can only gues but I want someone to make an animation for a battle against the dark dragon.
Honestly I think you can kind of read the cut Locria dialog as just putting on an act. Like all the "I'm behind you 100%" stuff and all the "wow i had noooo idea im so excited" stuff, can read as just playing up the attitudes of the other 6 you'd spoken with to that point; and then of course they've been attacking you this entire time as Fassad, and would likely ambush you later. Who knows maybe you could even return later and see basically the same mouse dialog as in the final game.
13:26 who's the artist of the art for those 3 characters? Btw who did the voice for Kumatora in that part. Great video btw. The other 2 icebergs as well. Your content in general is great
I feel like the kumatora sprite was maybe from the time in development where she was going to be one of my magypsies, since she has more of a resblence to them in that sprite
@@DaEgg123 huh, I wonder where I heard that then, Ive watched like a billion mother 3 icebergs and that was on a couple of them, don't remember who's though. That's a shame, I really liked the idea of that
25:40 Interesting. So it was Duster who got upset? I figured it was...I don't know. Any of the other males except Lucas, really. Duster?? But nice job pointing it out. Did you make sure it wasn't Wes, though? Or Alec?
I’m 99.9% sure it’s Duster. Within the files of the game, dialogue isn’t stored with character names, but instead with placements on a map or in the party. The data for that cutscene indicated that it was the second party member (Kumatora) and the third party member (Duster) that were speaking. Since Alec and Wess have nothing to suggest they were in your party in chapter 8, it confirms even more that it’s Duster talking there.
Yeah it being Duster is really weird. I really feel like there's more to his reaction though, like I wonder if some lost context might've helped explain it, because the way he gets mad at Locria makes no sense, there must have been something about the original Locria that made him that angry
@@chasqui06 Well, I wouldn’t blame Duster for having pent up anger towards Locria. He’d of course know that it’s Fassad, someone who put him through a lot of grief, as well as people that he cares about, like Lucas, Flint, Wess, etc, so seeing Fassad in a state where they’re oblivious to all the damage they’ve caused, I think that’s good reason why Duster would snap. That’s just my view on it though, we’re still either way definitely missing context.
i want to see brownie browns project but flash is dead how the heck is it not on youtube yet come on guys i downloaded it but could only get 1 second to play
Mother 3 being called EarthBound 3 instead of EarthBound 2 makes no sense, because then we would have EarthBound Zero (EB Beginnings), EarthBound, and EarthBound 3.
But it would make sense. Outside of Japan, the official released names would be: "EarthBound" from 1995, "EarthBound Beginnings" from 2015, and then "EarthBound 3", some point in the future. It's the third release, so the 3 makes sense. However I would personally prefer if it had a name like "EarthBound Endings" or something, so it doesn't feel out of place with the previously established name. Either that or just leave it as Mother 3 and disregard how it doesn't fit in.
06:23 well you're WRONG cause 1 Mother 3 is like the episode/chapter 2 of the Earthbound series cause Mother 1 is Earthbound Zero or Beggings which means it's the prologue or episode 0 Mother 2 is Earthbound "1" cause it's the episode/chapter 1 and heck Earthbound 0 was released as a prequel 2 the name Earthbound 2 was teased in Earthbound at Fourside 3 go whatch my EarthBencd series where i explains it
@Davio Q but like i said in one of my EarthBencd series it was Earth Bound not Earthbound because it was planned to be released but they didn't have the time. But still if Mother 3 would be rerealised it's Earthbound 2 or something like i said in EarthBencd 2
I mean, not really. EarthBound is the second game in the EarthBound series, EarthBound Beginnings is the first in the series. As far as release order goes, EarthBound released first and EarthBound Beginnings came second. No matter how you slice it, MOTHER 3 is the third game in the ‘EarthBound’ series, both chronologically and by hypothetical release order. EarthBound 2 isn’t the one that makes sense since it’s not the second EarthBound game.
Well, if I’m being honest, it’s related to how the mindset that you really can legit consider the final gba game to be an ‘abridged’ version of the original ideas of the game, or rather, an abridged version of the n64 version. So much character depth and lore was cut, me saying that the characters originally had more complex traits that weren’t present in the final game was yet another realisation for me at just how much we lost in the final game.
The converstaion the characters had in the elevator is something that 100% should have been in the final game, even if they wanted the elevator to drop down really fast, they still could have had the characters have this conversation as they walked through the cave afterwards, with Flint going up ahead when they reach the present box
Damn they really cut down on Flint and Salsa's screentime, even though they both deserve better
Salsa Idk not really fun to play.
@@flintfrommother3gaming now that I think about it that's probably why they cut down his role in chapter 7...
Bruh the unused elevator conversation shows ALOT, Duster just says "Thinking about it, we are all Motherless" I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT
It being cut is probably the stupidest thing that was done during the development of the gba version.
@@cyanidepizza right? its such a vital conversation
... dogy
i mean. technically
I want someone to make a ROM hack where the only change is putting that conversation back in the game
@@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr it would be the best rom hack ever

@@tgirltouhou And the ones they were playing were I, IV, and VI
Or Earthbound Omega
I had the same idea, I eventually settled on "Earthbound Resolutions," as the name I would want
Well the game was only released in Japan so... it does makes sense actually.

I know I'm a bit late, but it's AMAZING how people are still making content about Mother 3/the mother series. Like, seriously. It deserves this.
wish flint would've played a larger roll, wouldve been cool to have a father and son work together throughout the game

god now i'm insanely curious as to why duster would be so pissed about the needle thing
