The translation here is all wrong. "The form of Giegue's was inexplicable" is improper grammar. Gyiyg says "ギーグからの こうげきのしょうたいが つかめない！" That translates to "You cannot grasp the true form of Gyiyg's attack!"
Luis Morales You're right. Anyway you watched this video?; "Mother 1 (Mato's 1+2 Translation) - Part 12 - Final Battle! Vs. Giygas and Ending" ?? The translation used in that video is waaaaaaaaaay better than the official one!
Nintendo was mostly focused on the release of the Super NES by the time this was ready for release here. I wasn't an RPG fan at the time myself but they should've released it just in time for Summer 1991 to tide gamers over until August when then SNES was available.
Let me guess. That looping music is supposed to create a eerie atmosohere for the battle. Don't forget that Earthbound Beginnings is almost two decades old, older than Earthbound, so lower your expectations when finding games like this, although Earthbound seemed to have rectified this.
Actually, the high pitched ringing is very fitting because it invokes fear and panic as the trio realizes that their power is *completely* eclipsed by Giegue's. The music corresponds to the characters' current mood in each specific situation. *Vs Giegue* - Only two beats are present and they're both high-pitched. The main beat is constant and it is accompanied by another high pitched string that fades into the endless first beat. The group is seized by fear initially, as they all are being bombarreded by some unfathomable psychic force while Giegue is speaking. The party uses every single overpowered attack they each have to offer while he is speaking about sparing Ninten's life (want Ninten to come back to his planet because he wants a companion) out of respect for his grandparents raising him, only for Giegue to be unfazed by all of it and for Ninten to decline. The party is seized by panic after the onslaught, Giegue seemed inexorable until Maria told them to sing her song, which proved to be his only weakness as he's trying to be a ruthless killer out of loyalty to his people (yet his vulnerability to Maria's song tells the play that he wants to hurt no one in reality.) *Vs normal enemy/bosses* - Dynamic beats with unpredictable strings binding them together. The hero's don't know what the enemies will do or what powers they have, yet, they still remain confident for they CANNOT afford to lose and must press on in any way they can. *In a town/city* - A large amount of varying beats and strings that have uplifting or invigorating touches. The hero's can relax and be assured that they will safe and free from the dangerous enemy's present outside of the town/city. *Caves/machine complexes* - The lack of beats and strings heavily imply that the hero's are cautious, yet not afraid. *Mt. Itoi* - The main beats are emphasized and are backed by smaller, much weaker beats that loop and string together. The hero's find themselves getting *very* close to the main villain's headquarters. Considering how ridiculously strong the enemies here truly are, the hero's are definitely scared, yet they press forward because they're fighting for more than just themselves. They're fighting for Teddy and everyone else who has been hurt by Giegue's minions and Giegue himself.
@@AndyChinICanBeAnyone Are you for real, dude? By the time this game was made, other games had decent soundtracks already... Lower your fanboyism for a change.
Well Ninten is the name of the main character in this game. Alot of opinion and theory lean towards Ninten being Ness's father in earthbound for the SNES however that's only speculation. That would mean Ness finishes the job his father couldn't finish in the first mother game, which also leads some to believe That Ninten (Dad in Earthbound) was so gung-ho in wanting his son to keep fighting. Think about it.
I think that's true because in earthbound I don't remember when but there is this part when you see Ninten walk in to a house and goes to this baby cradel with ness in it and starts talking about ness I don't remember what he says I think this Cutscene happens after you beat ness's nightmare
It's because he was raised by Ninten's (Bob's) great grandparents who were abducted by Giygas' race. That song, the eight melodies was sang by Maria, who took care of Giygas. He had to prepare for eighty years to attempt to forget the kindness shown to him by her. The song forced back those memories, making him emotionally unsound.
Alien race with psychic powers kidnaps George & Maria; they raise Giegue as their own. George somehow escapes and returns to Earth with knowledge of PSI, which begins to manifest in humans as result. Giegue's species orders him to stop it before humans can comepete/threaten them. Maria's memory/soul is trapped in a dream or something, has Ninten to remember the song she sang to Giegue when he was a baby. The PSI trauma of betraying his 'Mother' forces Giegue to retreat. He becomes Giygas.
Has anyone else notice that when Giegue is about to attack it sounds like it is really going to do damage but when it hits it sounds like he just through a rock at Ninten?
Take a melody Simple as can be Give it some words and Sweet harmony Raise your voices All day long now Love grow strong now Sing a melody of love Oh love
Giegue and Giygas are one and the same. In the Japanese versions I believe he is called Gyiyg in both cases. If Nintendo had gone ahead and released Mother 1 as Earth Bound as they had originally intended, Mother 2 would have been called Earth Bound 2 and Giygas might have been called Giegue in that one too.
18. During the time in between EB and M3, humans escaped to an island, the world was in peril. The residents completely wipe their memories of the terrors that they had seen and start anew, one of the residents get's to keep his memories of the terrors of the earth. 19. Lucas starts his adventure. 20. Porky time traveled from EB to M3, due to an abuse of his powers he has become bed-ridden and in a near death stage, however he has gained immortality. He carriers over the same childish mentality
Yeah it is a rom dump but since it was a proto-type nothing was official. Maybe I'll post the whole story of how this rom came to be, in the description sometime this weekend.
For everyone who is confused by Giygas's Story here you go George and Maria but Were abducted by his people and then George found the secret to the aliens PSI powers and escaped so Giygas was tasked to destroy earth in case the powers were used against them in some way so he then spent 80 years trying to remove his memories of Maria But the song started to awaken his memories and that is why he started to offer Ness salvation on the ship but he became Emotionally unstable and unable to Invade
In the Famicom release(which doesn't have the run command and has a longer magicant dungeon) Teddy died soon after the battle against an X-800 series Robot. If you check him after reuniting with Lylod in the English prototype, the text says he seemed to stop breathing. In the Japanese version, its probably more direct ,with something along the lines of "Teddy's breathing has stopped."
Guard still works even if the attack comes before the message. Notice that Asha takes more damage on turns when Asha uses lifeup and also the other party members take more damage in the singing phase than they did before.
@GlennAoyama You forgot the part about how Giegue/Giygas/gyig cannot fully comprehend human emotions but can still feel them thanks to Maria, and because of this, it damages his psyche (mental state) which in turn damages him physically because of his reliance on psi. Humans cannot understand Giygas/Guigue/gyig's power because they do not and cannot know the full potential if Psi. That is why when Ninten(do) sings the song, he can feel human emotions, but cannot understand them, thus hurting Him
Also, EB's Giygas isn't evil, just misunderstood.... Like Godzilla... I guess. He just wanted to be friends with Ness (Ness's face shown was a greeting, perhaps.) and co., if only he would've accepted, sigh.
I thought the song was beautiful on it's own, until I heard the lyrics. Then I actually cried from it... (in a good way) 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 of love..
Most people are unaware, but his name was always known as Giygas. Giegue is the Japanese way to say his name, but translated to English, it was always Giygas
Well I didn't want to get involved in this little squabble but let me jump in and say there is one strategy in this fight. That is keeping your party alive long enough to sing the full song. If your a low level that can be rather difficult.
No, Giegue and Giygas are the same boss. "Giegue" is the Japanese version, and "Giygas" is the English. You can tell this because in Mother 2, the final boss's name is Giegue. I have no idea why they didn't change his name to "Giygas" is this translation hack...
@Fawful99 NOA translated it in the early 90s but never officially released the game. Fast forward a few years, someone finds the prototype cartridge on eBay and dumps the ROM. The prototype is then released to the emulated gaming world via Demiforce Hack as EarthBound Zero, aka Mother.
To be honest, I somewhat agree with tj1271. This didn't have too much of a strategy, not that I didn't like the game, but my preferences stays with mother 2 where you have to pray to survive rather than sing.
+Noside Foxhound Ah I think you took that the wrong way, I like your avatar. And I don't lie or hide it, I do use graphical filters on some of the older games. It's just a personal preference of mine and I understand why other people like original unfiltered graphics. I've played NES since it came out and I have no shame in using filters. Sorry if that's not your jam. (edited because of typos)
Artificialraven I'm an NES veteran and yes, I'm pixel perfect kinda guy, since it is your channel and video, you can do whatever you want with the video, since it's yours, it was just a comment, and forget about typos, this is not a grammar class.
My theory on Giygas development; 1:as he is in EB 2:straightens out like a tadpole and whitens while head changes shape 3:sprouts legs while head completes its transformation 4:gradually loses tail while face takes shape 5:face is completed while Pokey reads anti-parenting books 6:TADA!!! A slimy mewto-looking thing slides out of that nasty hole that previously showed Ness's face.
@xXxCxiBunnyxXx It gets better. The developer for this game, Ape Inc, was later renamed creatures... the company that helped Game Freak make the original Pokemon in return for 1/3 of the ownership of the franchise. There are a LOT of connections between the Mother and Pokemon series, to the extent where some fans think they take place in the same universe.
@GlennAoyama #5 The vital information that George stole was obviously information on robotics and alien technology. He studied their technology and used it to build Eve (she specifically refers to George as her creator) and the underwater base. Think about it, this was a regular man from the EARLY 1900s, so any advanced technology that he had was obviously inspired by what he’d seen on the mother ship.
@lostdreamer50 Nintendo made a translation of this game and never released it. Somebody bought the translation from Nintendo and released it on the Internet as a ROM.
Holy crap, please tell me you hacked your savestates. I barely had the patience to get Ninten (Bob, in your case) up to level 38 for Lifeup Pi. Anyway, having had the chance to play through the game, I'm not quite sure why so many people say this game is so hard. I found it pretty easy to play through without a guide (although climbing Mt. Itoi took a couple tries the first time up).
You could say that it was all George's fault, but there is more story on it to make it arguable, like for example, it could be Giegue/Giygas's people's fault for abducting the young couple in the first place :P
@onceagian: 1: You need an NES emulator not a SNES emulator. A good example is Jnes. 2: Google it. 3:The rom "Earthbound Zero" is an unreleased english prototype, so google EB0. 4: Donno what an R4 is... Hope this helps.
Gieque became Giygas. Mother 1 actualy takes place a while before Earthbound so even thou they faced Giygas in the past they still faced him after the events in Mother 1. O and the "nightmare gas" was what happened to his physical form after it was torn apart by his own evil.
That's only if you go with the theory that Ness was destroying a fetus Giygas. A theory that makes a disturbing amount of sense, but isn't supported by the canon. As presented, after the events of Mother, Giygas flees, travels back to the distant past, absorbs the dark power and becomes the nightmare that you must battle in Earthbound. So the events of Mother still take place.
Do you need to be at least level 50 to beat him because I unlocked all the 8 melodies and the nerd and girl are at level 20 and the main character at level 27
You can beat him as long as Ana (The Girl) is level 34. That way, you can use Lifeup Ω over and over (it heals everyone to max health). But from my experience, I can beat Giegue while Ninten is Level 38, Ana is level 33, and Lloyd is level 33.
Actually, it's "Gyiyg", with Giegue being a mistranslation. Why? Because this is an OFFICIAL translation, a prototype that was never released. Way before Mother 2 got here.
he'll get hurt, but no matter how many times you do it, your attempt to kill him will be futile(already tried it). you gotta sing the meledies.
This alien comes to earth to warn the children that they should be kind to eachother or be destroyed.
The translation here is all wrong. "The form of Giegue's was inexplicable" is improper grammar. Gyiyg says "ギーグからの こうげきのしょうたいが つかめない！" That translates to "You cannot grasp the true form of Gyiyg's attack!"
Luis Morales You're right.
Anyway you watched this video?;
"Mother 1 (Mato's 1+2 Translation) - Part 12 - Final Battle! Vs. Giygas and Ending" ??

Just like earthbound
Why, why, WHY did NOA cancel this game's release? That song, and this ending, almost makes me cry when put into context.

I agree

There's something about the singing that gets me.
Check my channel. There's a DL link to it in the description of the video I have featured there.
I know it's just such awesome build-up, that's one of the reasons I love Mother 1 and Earthbound.
Well, Porky tells Ness that they'll meet again, but they don't. However, Lucas and company...
i found it weird that he's talking to you trying to make you join him and at the same time killing you
I think the song is called Eight Melodies, not entirely sure.

4:gradually loses tail while face takes shape
5:face is completed while Pokey reads anti-parenting books
6:TADA!!! A slimy mewto-looking thing slides out of that nasty hole that previously showed Ness's face.

Giegue isn't THAT creepy...
what song is ?
Because the part in onett's theme was based off this song, linkinman.
Gieque became Giygas. Mother 1 actualy takes place a while before Earthbound so even thou they faced Giygas in the past they still faced him after the events in Mother 1. O and the "nightmare gas" was what happened to his physical form after it was torn apart by his own evil.
This thing resembles Mewtwo a lot
That's only if you go with the theory that Ness was destroying a fetus Giygas. A theory that makes a disturbing amount of sense, but isn't supported by the canon. As presented, after the events of Mother, Giygas flees, travels back to the distant past, absorbs the dark power and becomes the nightmare that you must battle in Earthbound.
