Hearing these songs and seeing these pictures make me confident that EarthBound 64 would've been Nintendo's Final Fantasy VII. As much as I absolutely love the MOTHER 3 we got, I think part of me will always wonder what the 64 version would've been like.
we did grow up with them... just in sprite form! although, theres about 2 of these pictures that i really cant recognize and compare to the original game
You are nostalgic for the photo itself, not the game. At least, that's how it is for me. I never played EB64 (obviously) but I spent countless hours reading about it, looking over every screenshot, speculating on what could have and what was lost. The pictures bring me back to a time when I had nothing else to worry about except whether I'd get to play EB64 one day, a simpler time, a happy time. For me, that's enough to be nostalgic over.
I wish this game released. My earthbound-fanatic phase was like 3 years ago but I still hope we see some build of this at some point. maybe even multiple.
Hahaha my earthbound phase came back after playing Mother 3 for the first time (i’m incapable to think about anything except for earthbound & mother 3)
It's so sad to see how this game ended... I'm not even sure who suffered more by the cancelation: Shigesato Itoi or us, the fans, I hope that somebody is able to put their hand in a copy of the beta of the game, or I hope the staff of Ape and etc just throws us the files... It's impossible at this point, but we mother fans learned to have hope
Man, I always wondered how it would be if it was released. Imagine how good the story and new ideas would've been, I sometimes believe that EB64 would've been better than the GBA version even though it didn't have the Love Theme.

Feeling like you'll play as flint alone for half the game seems so badass. Such a cool idea honestly comparing to playing as a 12 year old kid for like 95% of the game in mother 3.
bro flint wouldve been such a goated Mother protagonist. he will always be my favorite. he COULDVE kicked ass in mother 3 alongside the protagonist but he spent years looking for his son just because that's the kind of character he is
I hope that the full ost of EB64 is leaked, that'll be interesting to see how many songs that were carried over into the gba release and the ones we never heard until the discovery since this games sound track has so many good tracks!
Considering how high quality the music is for the GBA, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the music from the 64 version made it over - albeit highly compressed.
Almost everything from the 64 version carried over to the Gba version (except all the songs that have the love theme in them). Only changes Im sure of is that almost all the songs were compressed in some way, New Pork City being one of those songs that was severely compressed (I think Shogo Sakai said that in an interview)
11:01 to whomever made this great-looking mock-up, you probably should know that Lucas’s Japanese name is リュカ (Ryuka), which sounds more like “Luca.” I would guess it’s probably still officially transcribed into English as “Lucas,” even in Japanese but idk.
3:07 I thought it was gonna end up playing Dire Dire Docks because of the similar instruments. Man, I really really hope EB64 gets brought back or surfaces at some point.
Didn't expect this to be as good as it was. Honestly really breathtaking and chock full of emotion. I've never been super interested in EB64 stuff because the thought of a world without the Mother 3 we got genuinely scares me but if the game was anything like this... lord knows i'd play it forever.

REAL… MINES HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
my earthbound-fanatic phase will never die
Wish mine was still happening. Those times were some of the best.
Hahaha my earthbound phase came back after playing Mother 3 for the first time (i’m incapable to think about anything except for earthbound & mother 3)
It’s okay, Flint. Because Lucas is a strong kid, he’ll surely be okay… '_'
Lucas then bumps into snake cow underleveled

Controversial take
bro flint wouldve been such a goated Mother protagonist. he will always be my favorite. he COULDVE kicked ass in mother 3 alongside the protagonist but he spent years looking for his son just because that's the kind of character he is
what do you mean? the first half of mother 3 is playing as the side characters first, at most the game is 50%-60% lucas
I hope that the full ost of EB64 is leaked, that'll be interesting to see how many songs that were carried over into the gba release and the ones we never heard until the discovery since this games sound track has so many good tracks!
@El que comenta I assume that they would data mine if people leaked the game?
I want the whole everything they had for the last build, apparently everything that wasn't programming was fully done

This game is but a distant memory

Probably mentioning dragon on name (龍, リュウ)

ngl there are the best renditions of these songs that i've ever heard
these songs make me hope that someday the source code for EarthBound 64 is leaked

Please, Earthbound 64 recreation project. Don't screw this up. You've got a chance to bring back EB64. Don't screw it up.
@elcapooohow
Love gentle rain sounds so nice
etude for ghosts sound like nothing like the I version, and ITS NOT COMPRESSED TO HECK...
taitsumairi too.
Love this compilation, reminds of those obscure albums people make broken transmission/signal wave songs with
off pitch tazmily moment
OMG IS EASTER MAN FROM THAT MOTHER WOW
It would have been an amazing game... One of the best.
Although who knows if it could have come out of Japan just like the gba version... I wonder.
Wow
WHAT IS THAT SCREEN SHOT 11: 52
It’s fan made, the person who made it is in the description
Translation of that Screenshot:
*It's okay, Flint.
*Lucas is a strong boy, so I'm sure he'll be fine.
Does anyone know how we actually got anything from the EB64 ost?
A few songs were officially posted promotionally at the time online.
@@moonfellafunny that's interesting
@@moonfellafunny was the rest done with the gba midis using n64ndd soundfont?
Absolutely gorgeous; I'm guessing many of these themes are interpretations and not leaks, right?
the first two are real, not sure about the others
anyone have a full version of the tazmily village remix at the start?
DID LUCAS DIE!?
No, it says he’s okay (大丈夫). Text translation is: “It’s okay Flint. Lucas is a strong kid, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
@@Butterstix2014 "Claus was just hasty" was Claus fine though?
the dialogue in the thumbnail is worded very weirdly
Where'd you get these??
Ok nerds
Here we go
Make something special or don’t waste your time
