EarthBound Observations
Earthbound has always been dubbed as an rpg for little kids. Well the following can change that sterotype somewhat. There are many things in Earthbound that wouldn't be in a child type game such as pok?on. Here are some lines from the game that prove my point somewhat.
Thank You! You made my wife wake up. She quit talking about all that serious crap.... - Sailor in Scaraba
What? Everdred is gone? That's crap! Don't believe it. - Mr. T in Burglin Park
I got a letter from my daughter. She wants me to see her next show. A book of photographs of her is coming out soon. I really hope she kept her clothes on. Times sure have changed. - Venus' Mother
These above lines are right from the game. This proves that Earthbound was aimed for an older audience. Say from 12-16 or something like that. Also I've noticed glitches and humorous things in the game that were intentionally placed there. So here's some things to look out for.
1. Once you've visited Saturn Valley trek back to Happy Happy village, there you'll find a house with a Mr. Saturn living in it!
2. Enemies show up places they aren't supposed to. There are mad ducks in Saturn Valley, Dali's Clock in Brick Road, and Coil Snakes in Threed. All of these enemies are out of place.
3. If you check there are two things odd about Threed. One of them is that behind the drugstore is a sign that reads EED the THR are hidden behind the drugstore. Hmmm. The other thing is that there's a Runaway Dog trapped in a cage. If you travel to the south of the town you'll see cages holding zombies and ghosts, one of them actually contains a poor dog.
4. Last, check all the bulletin boards you find, some have quite interesting text on them. One reads "Do you play Sports? If you do that's fine by us -Twoson Athletic Committee." Another says what the name of the beach in Summers is, no it's not called the Summer's Beach. It's actually called the Carrillon Beach.
So stop and smell the flowers in Earthbound. For more of these cool observations come to my site Earthbound Nation
