Where are all the new fairytales? What happened?
"______ knows it. It's America that has no clue." (Fill in the blank- ex: "My dog knows it. It's America that has no clue.")
So, I gave all of these big music industry VIPs my old demo...And I just found out that I gave them all the wrong CD...Ultimate Fail.
@Lord_Zephys I'll second that.

I know you’ve stated multiple times there is no estimated release date for M4, but if you HAD to say, do you think it would be finished in the next six months?

I’m going to guess that the first song is the main villain’s theme? It has that “Porky’s Theme” feel to it.
October 28th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Actually it’s just a battle theme.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Not sure if it was just intentional or the audio scratched a little, but at the end of the video the level up fanfare seemed kind weird. Just me?
October 29th, 2011 at 12:39 am
Might be a Youtube thing. Did you try a higher quality?
October 29th, 2011 at 6:49 am
I can totally tell which one is the theme played after you stay in the Inn… The one near the center-end of the vid? And also, if you’ll notice, the last one sounds different from the one posted in the level-up theme’s update. I’m pretty sure that’s for when you beat a Boss enemy.
The FIRST one is a battle theme? I never would’ve guessed, honestly! It just doesn’t have that feel to it.
One of the songs in there kept on speeding up and slowing back down. Kinda gives me hope that Sound Battles are back, but I kinda doubt it a bit since there’s lag between keyboard and PC. But with the magic of programming, anything’s possible, I suppose.
Now I can’t wait even more to play this. I’ve gotten stuck in Mother 3, so now I’ve got nothing to sate my trippy-awesome-heartrending game need!
October 29th, 2011 at 10:08 am
Sound battles are back. They work fine, too, even on a gamepad.
Also, grind, m’boy, grind!
October 29th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Sound battles didn’t work well in emulated Mother 3 because of timing issues in the emulator. There isn’t really any perceivable latency between the keyboard/gamepad and the computer, so it’s not a problem.
October 30th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Yeah I think it was intentional. It sounded like you held that last note for a little longer. It just seemed kinda odd is all.
November 1st, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Really looking forward to this music. Being a game for the PC, soundware isn’t limited by anything, so I can expect some real masterpieces that even remixing won’t be able to beat.
@Senn: I’ve been wondering that too… Like, down to the 6 months thing, actually. Kind of creepy. Seriously though, he raises a good question that I’m sure a lot of us are wanting to know. Can we expect Mother 4 within the next several months?
November 1st, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Not in the next several months.
And something wonky is going on with the dates. You’ll notice Senn’s post is from “November 29th, 1999 at 8:00 pm”. I’ll look into that.
November 2nd, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Senn must be a time-traveller.
Only possible explanation.

Hey, I noticed in the screenshot Travis doesn’t have one of those bars next to his HP and PP meters. The FAQ calls it a “secret” and I’ve wanted to know what they were for, but now it’s gone! What happened?
November 2nd, 2011 at 9:43 pm
Is it gone? Or is it just … different?
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:03 pm
@blueflower999 Could be one of the icons above Travis?
November 8th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
@Itoi’s Apprentice
Good ear. There is indeed a disagreeable chord in there. Odd is what we do, it was intentional.
November 9th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
i got a unrelated question.. when will you guys make a clay model of Meryl?
November 11th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
@Davidx
It’s not them that make the clay models. Its FlintofMother3. Flint isn’t part of the Mother 4 team but he contributed by making the Travis (Or Chase, I’m still kind fuzzy about that) model. Here is Flints deviantART page, maybe you can submit a commission for him. http://flintofmother3.deviantart.com/

snobody you are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome
November 17th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
@Itoi’s Apprentice
On the subject of the secret bar
I think the bar has been converted into the background for the box that shows the HP/PP. You’ll notice that the box has a different shading at the top than at the bottom.
November 18th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Maybe… Hmp. I never thought about it like that. I merely thought it was the design of the box. Thanks

Grind indeed. This is actually my second playthrough of Mother 3 because my original save file got corrupted. :< But I've been trying to do a higher-level play-through this time around now that I know all of the best techniques and stuff to use.
Derp. Emulated Mother 3. I should say I knew that. X'D I play it on real hardware now, though…
*Queue me being excited about Sound Battles*
I have to get a PC 360 controller for this… It would be like… Playing Mother 4 on my XBOX 360. O_o
@ Nyah
Now I need to check the screenshot again. That would be really cool if it were true. Although I don't know what the bars are used for, I think that's a much cooler idea.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:16 am
Just reminding the public; Mother 4 WILL be gamepad compatible. That includes Xbox 360 controllers.

@BusterTheFox
I know exactly how you feel. I was fighting the Masked Man at the end of the game on my Wii and I lost. So I decided to load my last saved game, just to avoid losing items and stuff… I loaded my last saved session, so I had to restart from the junkyard while fighting the clayman. I’m done with emulation. Time to bust out the credit card and by some REAL games…
November 20th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
@Zephys
Yay~, now I feel like I reminded of of something. 8D I helped, yay~!
@Itoi’s Apprentice
Dang, that’s pretty much losing half of your progress through the game. Just that STORY makes me feel sad.
Luckily for me, I had already defeated him and everything. I was just trying to grind to a really high level on the enemies around there to see if it made the fight any easier.
On another subject, it was hard to find the Masked Man’s beat, huh? When I found the beat of his song, I was like, “YES, I feel so awesome now. Masks cannot defeat me!” *Lifeup B*
November 24th, 2011 at 9:45 am
You guys are just awesome, this game has me soooooo pumped up!
November 27th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Guysssss! I remembered this was going on and seeing this made my whole week. It looks like you are all putting in so much hard work and creativity while sticking to the heart of the Mother series. You are all fantastic and can’t wait til I can play it!
December 11th, 2011 at 12:51 am
I know this is random but are you all gonna do something for Christmas? (or Haunaka or however you spell it)
December 26th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
What? No Christmas update?
December 27th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
This place has been quiet. Too quiet …………. hmm ……
December 27th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
Great Scott, I found it. Look, did anyone else notice the new screenshot?
