Anything I should know going in? In terms of missables and whatnot

---

Do you have a thing about missables? Cause if you dont, just soak in the game blindly first run. If you care after, then do another run.

thats good advice. I guess I just like to experience all I can the first time around

There really isn't anything missable tbqh

But once you get to high levels, items become obsolete.

The last character you get starts off without any equipment, and the only equipment he can use are individual items you can find in the world. His weapon, Sword of Kings, can only be found as a 1/128 drop from Starmen Super in Stonehenge Base (spoilered just in case you don't want names), and you can't return to that area once you clear it. I think that's the main missable, since that character will literally go weaponless for the whole game if you don't get it.

If you leave all the money at the ATM, you don't have to worry about losing half your money if you get a Game Over. If you lose to Frankie's Robot you don't have to battle Frankie again. Finally, check the hospital drawer in Threed for a surprise, the official guide never mentioned this at all.

Unless you're a completionist, don't worry about missing anything because, A) there's only a handful of missables and B) they don't really impact playing the game.

Simple game don't need to worry about it. Keep money in ATM so when you die you don't lose money.

Using a patch that remaps controls. F*** using the L button to interact with things

---

You start with Pikachu as your starter, which leaves Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle out of the fun from the start. However, each one of these three can be gotten separately without too much work in the early portions of the game.

Imagine hating the option on a game that finally allows you to keep scrolling text and moving with one hand

Why did you answer for favorite thing?

I used the default option for everything, so Rockin. The only thing I changed was favourite food from Steak to Pasta, because I dont eat meat.

Post back on how many Earthboundmons you catch on your journeys.

Remember that the tenants of Earthboundmon are:

and

• Indomitable Spirit

Not much of a replayer of games because I always end up remembering everything and it gets boring. EB is one of those games I'd like to erase my memory of so I could it enjoy like it was the first time.

Heh, knew that coward wouldn't come back and face everyone, like a man.
