Thread 717280941

A video of the whole Giygas fight was my first exposure to Earthbound, and yet when I got to this part, I still found it to be kino even though it'd been completely spoiled.
Genuinely, how did Itoi do it?

Deltarune is better

I know you're probably baiting, but there are a number of things I want to see in Deltarune that Earthbound already did, considering they both have the separation between the player and the character. Imagine this shit happening:
>the Fun Gang come across a location like Lumine Hall and we can see Kris's thoughts, so Kris then uses that later to communicate with the player
>Going into Kris's own version of Magicant to figure out what the fuck happened to them
>"(You) prayed for them."
I can't wait, bro.

It's just pure SOVL.

It's not sovl...

I just love how the premise and ending of Earthbound are based on the experience of Itoi as a kid walking in on the wrong movie in the cinemas. That's why the opening is so bizarre like it's War of the Worlds on a theater screen with that really overblown music. And that's why the ending is freaky too, because it simulates the experience of going on a pee break and suddenly sitting in the wrong theater.
