I'm going to guess the plot
They are all brothers, Ness, Lucas, and Ness 2. Their mother died, and they are their own mother. They venture around looking for a way to restore their mother?
... Wow.
I'm glad your not right.
I second this. O_O Although it would've just as original, I guess...
So, now that I've gotten into Earthbound more, I can honestly say that it is one of the best RPGs I've played.
I haven't gotten far into the story but it's slowly building I guess.
But, it really annoys me how sometimes I just can't hit with attacks. Sometimes I go 4-5 rounds without landing a hit. Maybe I'm missing something but that has cost me a lot of life in the game.
Equip a bat. Never, ever equip yo-yos or boomerangs. Their miss rates are really low*.
There's a trick to worry-free levelling up when you're alone as Ness: Put all your money on the ATM. With zero money on you, you fight and die without worrying over half your money being stolen. Your items don't get stolen so you don't have to worry about that. That's how I levelled up in all three games (it is, in fact, easier to level up in M3 btw).
If you are still having problems, I could make a quick heck of the game to beef your characters up a teensy little bit (not something like max stats; that'd kill the game).
*Meant high, as in "they miss often". Seeing as how someone quoted me already, I'm not changing it so I'm adding this disclaimer in.
