fan translation is almost out.!! It's being done by a guy who has done pro translations for Nintendo... This game looks bad-arse.
Thoughts?

I can't wait, but it's a shame it had to come to this at all. Nintendo is so weak.
I've been enjoying the awesome soundtrack for a couple of years, about time I put some scenes to the tunes. And it looks like whoever did the translation is on the money.

This is great news! I guess Nintendo figured the GBA RPG market was already over-saturated, plus they had DS right around the corner.. Still, this isn't your average JRPG clone, it's earthbound for Pete's sake.

And i agree with Ophecks. The translation seems ace! That humor is a key point in those games.

It's really really good. The humor is so unique. It also gets some extra flavor, because i was adolescent enough to name the characters "dickface" and "nigger" etc.

I've had it patched for days and I'm afraid to play it for some reason. I keep putting it off, it's, like, intimidating.
I think I'm going to buy this when it's ready.. I still have the huge guide that came with the original (though no cart), and the scratch-n-sniff cards that once smelled like shit and garbage. ''This Game Stinks'', worst marketing ever.

The game is beautiful, chapter 1 is very sad. The start of Chapter 2 is disturbing.
Honestly, this fan localization is probably better than what Nintendo would have done anyway. I wonder how they would have censored the Magypsies.

A little grinding tip for you all:
The spacebar is really usefull if you're using VisualBoyAdvance as the emulator. It speeds everything up.
Find a hot bath, and just run back and forth to mobs. When in battle, just hold down both the space bar and X. I rose 4 lvls in 10 minutes this way.

Any suggestions for the best places to grind? I spent a lot of time on the snowy mountain, those Tenyetis (LOL) and Chilly Dogs (LOL) gave out loads of XP. But I can't seem to go back there now.
Chapter 7 feels as long as the first 6 chapters combined.

You just mentioned the place where i figured it out!
And yeah, chapter 7 is frigging long. I've only now reached the volcano.
So far it's been one of the most enjoyable game experiences i've ever had the pleasure of having.

I just passed the part where you're tripping balls on the island. Probably the darkest part of the series.

OK, here are some thoughts, ill try my best to keep it spoiler free. It's the best game i've played in ages. I don't even want to compare it to anything. Despite the fact that i had dubbed the characteres ridicolous names, and the graphics are cutesy, the whole ordeal was the perfect combination of being funny, weird and touching.
My mother is ill at the moment, so i've been thinking a lot about death lately, and this fucked up japanese game got to my heart like nothing else, at just the right moment.
So yeah, 10/10. I wouldnt change anything about it if i could. It's THAT good!

I just beat it, I've never played a better game, and my tearducts were kind of active during the finale. At first I wasn't too excited about the repeated environments in the first few chapters... I wanted to see other places, like in Mother 2 where you're constantly traveling to a string of new towns. But the structure of the story required the smaller scale and the familiarity, it works so well.
Did you take a look at the Battle Memory item? It's so zany. My favorite enemy was almost certainly the Frightbots, their stories were pants-wettingly scary.

Easily the best role playing game I ever played. More enjoyable then Final Fantasy 3 (or 6 whatever its called now) and better then Final Fantasy 7.
One of the greatest games of all time.
I just beat it, totally balled my eyes out towards the end.
"I've never played a better game"
The diversity of video games makes it hard for me to say that, but it is easily one of the greatest games ever made.
10 out of 10 for sure, no doubts at all.
The fan dub is excellent.

I finally beat this game ^_^
wow, what a gem indeed.
It's one of the best RPG's I've ever played, 2D or 3D. Amongst 2D RPG's, it's up there with Crono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. In its own class it's almost faultless.
everything from the story to the characters, the battle mechanic and the journey through different environments was honed to perfection. The incidental humour and quirkiness of the game is something to be seen. The boss fights, dungeons and enemy encounters were swift, fun and sometimes brutal. There was never a moment in the game when I felt cheated by the A.I. or by design choices.
The only minus is the childishness of the story, but even there I admit I was moved by the ending.
Overall, anybody who cares an inkling about 2D Japanese role playing games owes it to himself to play this game. It's that good. It never gets boring, and manages to surprise you all the way to the end. They had tons of ideas, and they executed ALL of them! Just about perfect.
10/10, A+, five stars

that's how I played it too :)
works like a charm.
I used gba exploder in NOR mode, but normal mode works just as fine. NOR is nice, because it cuts down loading times (i.e. uploading times) to zero.
