Don't be stingy with Paula's psi, she can attack multiple units and do much more damage with psi than her regular attack.

You may not have been grinding with Paula enough. (That's sounds dirty.)

After she joined my party we wandered around the caves to the right of the village for a good hour. Right now she's at level 18 and Ness is at 25. I'm not really sure if this is an appropriate level for this point in the game (as I said, I'm just entering Threed). I haven't been avoiding any battles, but the only "grinding" I've done so far was the aforementioned hour in the caves.

If I have to say fuzzy pickles one more goddamn time I'm going to scream. This guy shows up way too frequently for my liking.

He does not. Fuzzy Pickles Man is awesome. I hate you!

nickmitch · « **Reply #105 on:** June 18, 2008, 09:33:46 PM »

Smoke39 is right. Recurring characters and EB characters rock. Therefore, recurring EB character rock squared.

vudu · « **Reply #106 on:** June 18, 2008, 09:59:47 PM »

But he doesn't need to show up every twenty fucking minutes.

You have no soul. ):<

theres only a few of those that you can't skip, you're just being unlucky and walking in the spots that cause him to show up. That means you're playing the game the way it wants you to, that means EB owns you now.

Logic Error #2. This is a forum, not a chatroom.

pffft. there is always someone in the funhouse

Since all of my recent posts in this thread about been nit-pick bitching, I figure I better say some nice stuff about the game so I don't hurt EasyCure's feelings.

Warning: Threed spoilers within!

I was completely surprised when Ness and Paula were captured and I took control over Jeff. I had no idea I would control any other character besides Ness during the course of the game, so it was a pleasant surprise. Only problem now is I'm back to having a single party member, which make the fights slightly less interesting.

Right now I'm ::groan:: power-leveling right by Stonehenge by killing the cavemen repeatedly. (At 600+ exp. per enemy, it's going pretty quickly.) As I mentioned before, I really don't like power leveling, but I need to increase Jeff's level before I rescue Ness and Paula. He was at level 13 when I got to Dr. Andronaut's lab (Ness is 26 and Paula is 18), so I figured that would hurt me down the line. Jeff's up to level 19 right now; I'm probably going to level him up a couple more and then press on.

I'm toying with the idea of killing Ness after I get him and Paula back in my party and returning to the cavemen to bring them up to Ness' level.

I'm kind of worried about what the heck I'm going to do once I get Poo.

EasyCure · « **Reply #116 on:** June 19, 2008, 04:48:52 PM »

don't worry about poo. After you get him he'll level up like crazy and catch up to the rest of your party in no time (might even surpass them depending on how you play)

Kairon · « **Reply #117 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:37:13 PM »

Oh god this game sounds AWESOME. I want to beat it again now.

vudu · « **Reply #118 on:** June 28, 2008, 01:25:07 PM »

TRAGEDY

My save file has been lost. When I turned on my SNES today the file was gone. The battery most likely died on the cartridge. This makes me extremely sad.

It seems like I'll just have to wait until the game comes to VC. I had made it all the way to Fourside, and put probably 15 hours into the game, and I'm not exactly looking forward to repeating that again.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #119 on:** June 28, 2008, 01:56:48 PM »

Poor Vudu.

nickmitch · « **Reply #120 on:** June 28, 2008, 02:14:27 PM »

This is the same reason why I never beat Baten Kaitos Origins.

EasyCure · « **Reply #121 on:** June 28, 2008, 04:39:37 PM »

that is a tragedy. i'd like to have my broken cartridge back now please

vudu · « **Reply #122 on:** June 29, 2008, 12:07:12 PM »

So I've decided there's no way in Hell I'm going back to play the first fifteen hours of Earthbound again once it comes out on VC. Therefore, I need some kind soul to send me his or her game save for the VC version once they get to the point I was at when my save was lost. I'm detailing this now, because when Earthbound finally makes it to the VC in 2010 I'll probably have forgotten these details.

SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY.

I'm in Fourside. I beat the five moles at the dig site and obtained the diamond needed to pay-off the debt of the Runaway Five. Paula was kidnapped at the department store. I beat the alien on the top floor, but I have not gotten back Paula yet.

Other pieces of info: My level for Ness was in the low thirties. I had around $45K in my bank account. I had all the best equipment available to me at that point, as well as a whole crap-ton of special gadgets for Jeff, none of which I find useful in the least.

nickmitch · « **Reply #123 on:** June 29, 2008, 12:41:16 PM »

I think there is still one lingering question:

DID YOU ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTED??

vudu · « **Reply #124 on:** June 29, 2008, 12:46:06 PM »

Definitely. The sense of humor was great throughout. I really enjoyed wandering around the various locations and trying to figure out what to do next. (I only had to resort to using an FAQ once.) The only part I didn't enjoy was the battle system early on (and the part with just Jeff) because it didn't really get interesting until I had three people in my party. (In fairness, this is pretty much the case for all RPGs, but Earthbound seemed to take much longer to get that third party member to join.)

That's why I want to keep playing, but I'm not excited about redoing the early part of the game. I'd much rather pick up where I left off.
