Mother 1+2 English translation
マザー1+2 · MOTHER 1+2
A fresh, complete English retranslation of the MOTHER 1 side of the GBA compilation, with bigger text boxes, a better font and an optional Easy Ring, plus menu and name translations for MOTHER 2.
What's translated
The MOTHER 1 half is fully retranslated from the Japanese instead of reusing the old NES EarthBound Zero prototype's script, which had cuts, changes and mistakes. The goal is a livelier script that keeps the links with EarthBound and MOTHER 3 intact. The MOTHER 2 half only gets its menus and names translated.
What's new
- Text boxes, menus and names were enlarged where possible so lines read naturally.
- An improved, easier-to-read font.
- A gift box in Ninten's room holds an optional Easy Ring that boosts experience and money and cuts down random battles, for players who don't want to grind.
- Some bugs of the Japanese GBA version are fixed.
The project page also offers tips for playing MOTHER 1 and the tools and source used, so it can be translated into other languages.
