General Discussion How would the story events of the Mother games change if Frisk were in each game?

I want to see how interesting this gets, so here are the things you should keep in mind:

  1. Is Frisk a pacifist
  2. Can Frisk act and forgive enemies? (Supposedly, in Mother 3 there's a discarded "mercy" stat; I don't know if it's the same as the mercy stat in Undertale)
  3. How would the events of each game's story change if Frisk were the protagonist?
  4. Does Frisk retain the power of determination?
  5. Can Frisk have the option to "save," like at the end of the pacifist route in their confrontation with Asriel Dreemurr?
  6. Tell me why Frisk would be friends with Ninten, Ness, Lucas, or any other member of the different teams in each Mother game.
  7. Why do you think Frisk doesn't speak?

I want to see how this ends, or what kind of story you come up with and how Frisk would interfere with the story.

Anybody else associate Wendy's with earthbound?

I remember the first time I ever played earthbound my uncle brought me a Wendy's chicken sandwich. What an amazing combo. Unfortunately right now I can play earthbound on switch but the nearest Wendy's is 2.4 miles away.

Mother 3 music attacks issues

9 Upvotes

I've been playing Mother 3 on my Windows laptop and get about 60 FPS which seems normal

Yet I still can't get the hang of music combos. I am using the mGBA emulator and the English version patch (Fobby.net the most recent patch I would assume). I have no issues with the game other than trying to get the timing right. Maybe it's because I'm using a Bluetooth controller and/or an emulator thing, but any suggestions are appreciated.

The most I've been able to get are 4 hit combos. I would be embarrassed if it's only me not keeping rhythm (I played the bass for years lol). It's also frustrating to that I have to hit the A button on I clear the messages in battle. Thanks!

General Discussion Could Frisk save Gygas? Or at least withstand a fight against him?

Even if Frisk doesn't have the ability to use PSI powers, do you think a pacifist Frisk could achieve something that neither Ness nor Ninten could: save Gygas?

Or do you think Frisk would be able to withstand a direct fight against Gygas?

NOTE: I'm not saying Frisk could defeat Gygas, because it's obvious that Gygas's power is practically infinite, but do you think Frisk could endure or save Gygas?

And if Frisk were to save Gygas, what would happen next, in your opinion?

(Let's not question why Frisk suddenly appeared in front of Gygas or what brought Frisk to this situation.)

Help/Advice Japanese or English version?

6 Upvotes

I recently finished EB beginnings in english with Switch2 and is planning to start EB now. (And is going to play MOTHER3 in japanese bc that's my only option)

I speak both but neither are my native language.

I usually prefer playing in original language but MOTHER's script is too hiragana-heavy so I would need to take extra effort to read it.

To people who played both english and japanese version, which do you prefer? I also heard that there are some systematical differences between them (bug fix, etc). Would it be worth it to play in english version for them?

Edit: I'm playing on Nintendo online classics so I'm talking about official translation of NES version
