Nothing against modders and romhackers but why do they feel like they have the artistry to replace the original developer vision and art?
>>
>>12697376
because they do. bottom > top
>>
>>12697376
Something against modders, they're all tranny pseuds who think they know better even though they never made a game themselves
>>
>>12697381
The Mook looks extremely goofy in the fan remake.
And I don't know why they felt like doing an OC design for Pippi, the original sprite is based on her clay model, the fan sprite is based on nothing, doesn't really look like her original clay model, nor her in game map sprite either.
Also that's an unused sprite, and it's cool that romhackers include unused stuff like that, but... why the need to donutsteel it?
>>
It's easier to mod and edit a game and larp as a developer than it is to make an entire game and I guess it feels good
>>
>>12697376
People who think the original games are fine and that there is no need to improve upon them generally do not invest hundreds upon hundreds of hours of their life into modifying games.

Why did devs of the OG feel the need to rerelease a version with shittier music?
>>
>>12697482
At least they didn't rearrange it to make it OC
>>12697480
The thing is that there's no improvement on the bottom row
>>
>>12697482
And censored sprites. OP is gay.
>>
>>12697491
Only because they used the NOA unreleased game as a base.
At least other than 2 or 3 changed sprites it all looks the same, they didn't change the spritework
>>
Stop liking original releases.
Start liking fan altered works.

Those would be translators mostly, some guy with a website.

Just seeing 13 years on a mod it doesn't seem as easy as claimed.
>>
>>12697376
this is fucking grim
>>
>>12697376
Wow, this looks like fucking shit and the personality and attitude of all 3 enemies is completely off

I knew this thing was going to be shit, do post more so I can repost it every time some retard who never played the original recommends to others to "just play the fan remake lol" because we all know this is what's going to happen from now on.
>>
>>12697557
Man, I have read this 3 times and I still don't understand what the hell you're talking about.
>>
>>12697851
Was literally about to post this. Shit is unintelligible.
>>
>>12697815
Starman isn't too egregious. The other 2 yes. Both had a creepy vibe that is completely lost in the remake graphics with Pippi looking generic and Mook looking like a clownish goof instead of a creepy goof
>>
>>12697870
The original Starman's stance makes him look cold and dehumanized whereas in the remake his stance makes him look cocky. Even just the crotch area makes him look more human.
He looks like a mother reprimanding her 5 years old for doing something he shouldn't have done.
>>
>>12697871
I can see it. Still the lesser offender of the 3 I reckon.
>>
>>12697376
I agree, but I'm only concerned about it if there's a risk of replacing or burying the original
apart from that, a bored teenager from texas can make art in 2026 that is as interesting as whatever a stressed salary man from tokyo made in 1996. there's nothing special about the work of the original devs beyond it being a sort of canon or time capsule we can all collectively relate to
I'm often concerned about seemingly arbitrary changes made by modders, but the truth is that a lot of the original devs were just rushing to finish the game and they just made whatever they could in the short time they had
>>
>>12697482
the GBA has shit audio in general
>>
>>12697376
In this case they did a good job
>>
>>12697939
Yeah. GBA is impressive in many ways... Except for the audio.
>>
>>12697851
>>12697868
One guy does all those things, doesn't call himself a dev.
Modders change one easy thing and call themselves Devs.

It's just>>12697557 saying "not all x are y!" With no-one asking
>>
>>12697512
Ohhh, but the clunkiness, I can't have fun with the clunkiness.

The redrawn Giygas is awful. It seems like the SNES demake version was also based off of it, even though the original shits on both of them.
>>12698731
you don't, there's just unused graphics for her for unknown reasons
>>
>>12698773
I think I prefer the Giygas from Cognitive Dissonance

This is the only mother thread active so I'll just ask here. I'm unsure of which Mother game to start with, what's the best one to play to get my footing? I heard earthbound beginnings is good but can be grindy and unbalanced, would it better to go from 1 to 3?
>>
>>12699350
Earthbound first. I would go EB, 3 and then if you still want more then Beginnings.
>>
>>12697482
MOTHER 1 + 2 was made to gauge interest in the series to see if it would be worth reviving MOTHER 3 as a GBA game.

>>12699350
Normally I'd say always play release order, but the order you Player MOTHER and EarthBound doesn't really matter so play whichever you think looks more interesting. Definitely play EarthBound before MOTHER 3, though.
>>
>>12699354
>>12699358
Thanks for the responses, anons.
>>
>>12699350
>>12699358
Oh I'll mention that MOTHER is much shorter than EarthBound. MOTHER took me about 20 hours to finish. EarthBound took me more than 60.

Release order as always.
There's nothing really unfair about Mother 1, it's just that a lot of people aren't familiar with older RPGs.
Mother 1 is a 25 hour game more or less, and it's very much worth playing.
2 and 3 are obviously better in gameplay but Mother 1 still has a special unique vibe.
Come on anon it's just 3 games.
>>
>>12699364
>There's nothing really unfair about Mother 1, it's just that a lot of people aren't familiar with older RPGs.
I don't have the biggest library of old RPGs under my belt, but I know enough about how they work. I don't have a big problem with long grinds or random encounters, so I might just start out with the first game and go from there.
>>
>>12699367
Grinding isn't really necessary but yeah there's random encounters.
It works like Dragon Quest, where you keep your exp points and progress even if you die, the toll is just half your money and reviving your party members.
But you can also save your money on the bank and don't risk any money too, so really there's very little punishment compared to most other RPGs of the era.
Enjoy anon it's a masterpiece

Oh pls I had to look again to be sure.
Yes maybe it's a matter of opinion but it doesn't look offensively bad at all.

I played and beat Mother 1 when I was 12. Lots of Japanese kids did too. You can handle it.

>>12697381
lmao no

the design IS supposed to resemble one, what with the whole vat tube thing going on...

Yeah but like is this a real person or just someone they made up in their head?
>>

It also don't matter if Da Vinci himself said "I am not an artist."
That fucker is an artist. And that dev is a dev.
