How MOTHER Pokes Fun at Dragon Quest
In which I make the very wild claim that two RPGs released for the same hardware have some similarities. MOTHER (or Earthbound Beginnings if you're lame) is a good game, the haters don't get the vision.

Lore of How MOTHER Pokes Fun at Dragon Quest momentum 100
This takes me back in time. I remember being a kid and thinking about what my intro of unrelated gaming footage spliced together would be if I ever had a countdown channel of my own.
Some of these points, I wanted to express to my friends, and you put them into words better than I ever could. You also brought up several things I hadn't even considered. I'll definitely be sharing this with my friends. Thank you for making this clever video!
What did the dragon quest composer say?
Actively spends money on creating propaganda denying WWII era Japanese war crimes and was on a talk show where he laughed at the suggestion of LGBT youth committing suicide

EWWWWWWW WHY IS PATH OF RADIANCE IN YOUR TOP 5 🤢🤢🤢 (Good video oomfie)
I was simply drunk off the hype of the brief period of time where I could post an image of George Bush and say "My favorite Fire Emblem games." It's now like seventh or eighth (lower if rom hacks are counted).
Aint it halarius how both franchises have silly characther designs
yeah I knew there was something wrong with no more heroes 2. it felt like the bosses were so shallow compared to the first games bosses
I've recently seen a terrible new MOTHER video. This video is a godsend in comparison. And speaking of comparisons, you did a good job showing how MOTHER created an 'Urban Dragon Quest' setting while still maintaining its whimsy.
You know, it's no wonder video games have such a hard time doing pacifism right. The best part about pacifism as a part of a story is seeing how characters react to being spared and how it affects the plot down the line, which is going to take a lot of effort (scripting, writing dialogue, gameplay changes, balancing, graphics, and on and on) in a video game. Then, you'd think that maybe tabletop games like DND would fare better, since you're using your imagination and acting out the stories in real-time with real human beings, but in my experience, DND is just NOT designed for a pacifist character - it's designed around combat. The only real example of pacifism thoroughly explored in a game (aside from Off, which I think has a much different focus) is Undertale, which goes out of its way to make pacifism the entire point, but even then, it's not a very realistic take - pacifism is dangerous and might just get you killed, but if you can canonically just turn back time and try again when you die, there aren't a lot of stakes, are there? It's not really a moral dilemma so much as it is a commentary on obsession, nihilism and completionism, where the main reason to even do a genocide route is exactly the same as the reason to do a pacifist one - to see how the characters react. Even in Mother, the whole EVE segment on top of Itoi kind of undercuts the message they may have been going for. Is EVE supposed to be a flawed perspective, since it's not human? Well, if it is, it's kind of weird to just have it be narratively crucial to the survival of the party, isn't it? Bit of a rant about that one point in particular, but loved the rest of the video. Whole bit about Magicant being a microcosm of fantasy-JRPG tropes was amazing
5:53: this isn't real, right????
Tonpa works very well as an early antagonist because he introduces the reader/viewer to the callous hedonism of the world of Hunter x Hunter. He also works as a fantastic foil to Leorio, who initially portrays himself as a selfish prick, but is actually selfless and kind hearted.
You said mount Ebbot instead of mount itoi, freudian slip LMAO.

I have been waiting so long for someone to talk about the heavy connection between Dragon Quest II and Mother.
This is a really great video! I learned a lot
4:11 I'M SORRY BUT MT. EBOTT?!!?????? 😭😭😭
I KNEW it! While Sans is Ness, Ninten is acctually the first fallen human (Chara)!
Banger video my guy
"Mt. Ebott"
You’re the first person Ive actually seen talk about the connections between the two beyond a surface level. Which is weird because as a fan of both I came to conclusion that Itoi has a pretty big understanding of how a Dragon Quest game specifically works and it’s present in all 3 games.
That's the exact same impression I got, too.
I haven't watched this video yet, but I just want to say this preemptively. Intentionally bad is still bad.
Prince of Cannock? More like Prince of Cannot do shit in combat. (Good video, I didn't knew what to comment to add to it considering I didn't played either game so I just decided to do a bad pun one day later)
Great video, I'll have to play both of these games someday. How would you say they scale in terms of typical NES RPG tedium since I'd say at this point good pacing wasn't quite figured out yet for this genre.
Mother 1 is manageable so long as you know play with running in mind and since I know you've played Earthbound, I would even argue it's an easier time than that game since it doesn't have anything on the level of Stonehenge Base, aside from some of the methods to get the eight melodies not being as well telegraphed as they could have been. I think a lot of its reputation for being some uniquely brutal experience comes from the Mother series (or any Nintendo RPG series really) attracting people who aren't as familiar with RPGs so you'll see stuff like most online guides recommending you grind to the point where you one-shot enemies which is excessive. Dragon Quest 2's reputation has a little more truth to it, even if I still like that game to an extent. Its final stretch having a boss rush means it's more likely that you'll have to grind and it's particularly egregious when it comes to progression being cryptic. I also wouldn't suggest starting with it because it's part of a trilogy with 1 and 3 and I think the ways the three games interact with each other is one of the most interesting things about them so at least play 1 first if you want to play 2. I have a feeling that you want to play Dragon Quest in general for the Akira Toriyama artstyle rather than 2 specifically so my suggestion would be to start with the Zenithian trilogy (4, 5, and 6) since the first two games in that trilogy are probably the most well loved games in the series.
They also put characters who aren't evil (and thus are not villains) on the Wiki just because they commit crimes. For example, Necrozma from Pokemon. It isn't evil at all. The reason why it steals light from other worlds because it is in pain and needs to do it to survive. The second example is Eternatus, who is also from Pokemon. It's unknown whether it is evil or not and it might be doing this because it can't control it. But that's only in the games! In the anime, it's not a villain at all! It was just not used to people and couldn't control its power well. The anime Eternatus also helps the protagonists and wants to protect Galar. The third possible example are the Doomers from Kirby. I think that they might not be evil at all. What do they do? They steal the energy spheres because they like to eat them. It is implied that they are doing this because they want their space-time bending powers back. Since most of the energy spheres are found in Another Dimension, maybe they don't know that these spheres belong to someone or don't have a choice if they want their powers back. I know the description says they are "evil", but this might be to not spoil the fact that Magolor is a villain. Also, in Magolor Epliogue, the Doomers might be mind controlled by the Master Crown so it's not their doing.
Villains Wiki sucks
@@Master-Works Yeah.
TJ "Henry" Yoshi was right.
Walter Jr. White started a RUclips channel before GTA 6 bro😭
Itoi was one step ahead of the fan translators by putting the other media references in the game first
Although I have yet to play a dragon quest and don't really have the actual context for which to compare, I do find it fascinating how Mother recontextualizes the abstracted medieval fantasy into what that would look like for people living in the present. How these stories translate to the real world as you say. Whether its the money to finance such an endeavour having to instead come from Ninten's parents bankrolling him rather than being acquired from slain creatures, the cruel and more realistic healthcare system, the limited storage capacity, the suburban sprawl of how the cities are portrayed, there was real effort made to articulate the idea of what these games mean when applied in the context of going outside.
Also, obligatory talk about Yakuza Like a Dragon here.
I haven't finished Mother 1, but I will use this as an excuse to talk about Glory of Heracles. Particularly, GoH2 which is directly influenced by DQII (except, the hero can use Magic. Apparently GoH1 is basically DQ1, but with the Prince of Middenhal instead, since you control Heracles). The Prince of Cannock is replaced by a cowardly centaur that is pretty fast (so fast his Speed will eventually overflow, making him ultra slow. Which is kinda funny ngl). The Princess of Moonbrooke's replacement is a statue that needs to be finished to jokn you, mimicking the Princess being changed into a dog when you encounter her. I haven't gone far enough to adds more, and the translation I had was quite weak. And, since it's me, I will mention GoH4's relationship to legacy, because it's an interesting ones. You are the sole survivors of the lost Atlantis, 9000 years into the future searching back your bodies. Saving the world is secondary (and the only reason you ends up helping Heracles' Heroic Journey is because your friend started a family in this world). And obviously the entire conflict (and final boss) is the very concept of not being able yo accept death (leading to a funny scene with Hades who was the first Game's big bad). There's a lot to say here (the relationship between the Gods and the mortals, notably), and it's not exactly relevant, but I won't miss zn occasion to talk about it.
I've been going on a bit of a blind DQ marathon this year and when I was going through 2, several of the similarities to Mother 1 stood out to me (mainly the overworld music shift and the massive endgame difficulty spike, among some other small things u talked about at the start). Cool to see that I'm not the only one who thought that, but I didn't even realize how similar the party comps are gameplay-wise. The parallels and contrasts with their messages is also really fascinating. Honestly Mother pulls the party composition off alot better, Ana felt like a much more competent mage character than the Princess of Moonbroke, and Loid can be really valuable once u get Plasma Beams and Flamethrowers.

God that Prince of Cannock part has been living in my head for years. I also think in terms of gameplay they end up being very similar, due to how DQ2's equipment works. With the Power Shield, he ended up being more useful as someone who would sling items around instead of trying to smack or "thwack" enemies. Anyways Mother 1 is a superior game because DQ2 has Golden Baboons and the sacrifice spell gives me stomach ulcers.
You say Item Slinger, in Mother 3 i turned Boney in something like this. The party in 3 seems like un upgrade to the old model, Boney has not the PSI powers or Lukas or Kuma, nor the tools of Duster,and cannot equip weapons, till the endgame. I turned him in a Carrier, leaving all the single use damage and healing items to him,to support what others were already doing. I felt proud about it and i quite liked the concept,a character with no inherent strenght,so the one whose turn you are gonna "waste" to use an item. In a game where each characted has its own inventory bag, it makes more sense,since they actually have to carry them personally before the battle. Since then,i have been wondering about a similar Item User class, maybe having a character with lower stats than other party members, but with a bigger carry capacity. A "weakling" class,kinda like Usopp.
I can't tell if you intentionally said Mt. Ebott instead of Mt. Itoi/Holy Loly or not but it was really funny regardless and I think I need to try out dragon quest 2 now
I'm tired of RUclipsrs making unintentional mistakes. I'm changing the game by making them intentional.
Be warned, Dragon Quest 2 turns torturous near the end of the game. For example, you have to go through a long, agonizing dungeon that practically requires you to consult a map (or write your own like a madman), and then you have to traverse an area where a common random encounter has an INSTANT GAME OVER ATTACK. UNAVOIDABLE, UNBLOCKABLE. And if you get unlucky enough for one of them to use this attack... start the dungeon all over!! It's miserable! Running is an option, but oops, it's luck-based. Bad RNG, game over. That's the best way I can summarize the late-game combat.
@@Lar_me I've done worse
This video rips rules shreds et cetera et cetera I like mother ::::)
Heyy so I've been thinking of playing FE1 and seeing you are a big fan of it I'd like to ask about translations. From what I gathered online I'm between Megakoopax's and the official translation for the Switch. Which version would you recommend?
There's no way to play the official translation right now because it was a timed availability thing and afaik there hasn't been a patch that uses the official translation so you'll have to use the official translation
ive found people just seem to hate on things they dont bother to engage with, and are repulsed by on a surface level. i used to be like that and i sucked!!
bro why do you sound like this
This is honestly one of the worst videos i've ever seen. What was the point of this?
Jasper is the Shinobu of 2. If you ain’t good at this point in the game he bends you over and rails you hard. I think his character is a good reflection of Travis too. Its not that the second phase is poorly designed, you just gotta be on your A game and actually explore the combat beforehand.
I also find alot of the criticism of him absolutely hilarious like “He’s a murderer! And he’s annoying!” Yeah no shit he’s supposed to get under your skin and piss you off, make you more erratic if it wasn’t obvious by him taunting travis to get mad just like Trav does with Fu in 3. Either way good video, even if i disagree on some stuff. Like that fucking window lol.
