Happy 18th birthday Mother 3 editionPrevious thread: >>3731744
I want to hug Claus and Lucas
Are all of the old threads archived somewhere?
>>3884364yeah, I've been curious on that myself for a while.
>>3884364>>3884667Fireden but sometimes the images don't load.There's also archived moe.
considering all the japanese fanart I am seeing of Ness here and the previous thread, were all the weight comments in EarthBound just from the English localization? is he not a cute squishy boy, and just a cute boy?
>>3885296He's supposed to be slightly chubby at the beginning and skinny by the end since some NPCs comment on him losing weight. Idk if it's just a localization thing, would be cool to know.
>>3885299Ness was never fat. He was always athlet, but obviously got more muscular by the end of his adventure due to all the fighting and walking.
>>3885340All from the OG Japanese?
>>3885296iirc he's still called fat and chubby in the japanese version. But there is one NPC at the end of the game who says he was just being mean and apologizes for calling you fat earlier in the game.There are some japanese artists who draw Ness more chubby, I think most artists just prefer drawing skinny characters over chubbier ones. That and his official designs/art don't make him look that chubby, expect for his Japanese Magicant sprite which honestly does make him look pretty chubby.
>>3885442thank you for saying what you know
Is ninten like ness but more bratty?
>>3885654eh, he doesn't have the most to him, so it's more so up to interpretation. The MOTHER novelization by Saori Kumi (who deemed to call him Ken) made him a little shit. Encyclopedia MOTHER (official guidebook out of many and also lore book, and if I recall correctly was published by APE Inc. themselves) made him an average nice kinda american boy, but made him a fan of George Lucas movies (considering they mention Indiana Jones and also Star Wars in his bio of sorts) and whatnot.so basically, with Ninten, he's almost a full blank slate for you, the player. You decide what he's like to you.
>>3885654The most personality he ever gets in-game is that if a hippie enemy does the attack where they mock his mom, he instantly retaliates with a SMAAAAAAAAAAASH. So I headcanon he's more hot-headed than Ness.
>>3885702well, it's more so a chance of either believing the hippie and getting his FIGHT stat lowered or not falling for it, flying into a rage and getting an Offense increase. But yeah, I too headcanon the cute asthma boy as having a bit of a hot head on himThough, now that I think of it, a lot of my thoughts on Ninten feel sort of vaguely "shonen protagonist" in terms of feel, lol. minus the big appetite (to an extent). That attribute, I tend to mainly pin to Ness.
>>3886054...Nessporky leg kabedon was definitely not something I was expecting to see today
Maybe this is not the right place to ask but are the books where Claus and Lucas got their name from (the notebook trilogy) any good?
>>3886116I've heard they're very great books, but yeah, this is not the right place to bring this up.
why is lloyd so cute
>>3886116They're dark. Lucas and Claus get head in the first book of the trilogy if that piques your interest.
>>3886583I had not heard of that part of the book, what the hell
>>3886580
>>388663480s boys, my beloved
>>3887631where did you acquire this
>>3888800...do we have a translation for this, by the way
I thought there's at least be some activity here...
Lucas went through quite a few design changes through the game's development. Which was the best one?
Any old EarthBound fan art?
>>3892351Sort of. A lot of it is very artsy.This is from the starmenarchives.net
>>3892350Final design is the best desu
>>3892414agreed, though I do like the N64 fanny pack Lucas a bit
>>3892350Both of the blond ones. He looks like an elf in the others. Ew.
don't forget to appreciate your nerds
Is robotic Ness allowed?
>>3893953I guess? It's an unconventional choice. Also, honestly, I was not expecting to see Kenisu's art here.
>>3894200Is Kenisu famous? His style is cute. And also, all Ness is always allowed.
