Finally those terrible icons are gone! Much better now!
OceanManow 3 Aug 2022 03:55
Platinado familia, sem duvida alguma continua sendo um dos meus jogos favoritos, fazer esse set foi achar uma desculpa pra poder rejogar earthbound e gostar ainda mais do que eu ja gostava, simplesmente fantastico.

PS: se eu tiver que grindar ainda esse ano pra pegar outro Gutsy bat eu vou ter um derrame.
lockethiago 3 Aug 2022 20:44
Parabens mano! Talvez um dia eu tenha a coragem pra tentar platinar esse ai! kkkk Ae, cola no nosso grupo do zap la. procura no youtube por tavernaretro

EternalThrylos 25 Aug 2022 11:42
I hate these ultimate weapon cheevos
KevinCarbonara 28 Aug 2022 17:45
Mother 1 after Mother 2? Kinda backwards
EternalThrylos 28 Aug 2022 21:32
Technically in the US Mother 1 is the second game but the reason I'm playing in this order is because I wanted EarthBound to be the first game I mastered
EternalThrylos 30 Aug 2022 02:51
Mastered, my first master ever, and an absolutely phenomenal game, giant shoutout to SGreenwell for the help couldn't have done it without them
SGreenwell 30 Aug 2022 11:09
Ha, no problem, glad you got it! It's a pretty impressive first one to master, given how extensive the achievement list is. :)
PumpkinLink 7 Oct 2022 04:10
Damn, all this time I thought [m] meant "modified" lol
Jurbadis 5 Jan 2023 14:00
Mastered! It was really fun to do this alongside the Rare Drops Subset :D
Vichan 15 Jan 2023 12:26
Mastered! The 1/128 drop achievements were a pain but otherwise this was a brilliant set!
SirYuber 17 Mar 2023 00:26
Just mastered it, along with the subset!
Davideee 19 Mar 2023 14:53
mastered. infelizmente tive que seguir o tutorial de manipulação pra pegar o godness ribbon (nao tava mais aguentando),mas tirando isso foi bacana esse set
williamgeesdorf 4 Apr 2023 15:05
Mastered (platinado)! An awesome set for a legendary RPG that seems to get better with each subsequent playthrough! For me, the 1/128 drops weren't that bad but even if you're unlucky, RNG manipulation can help a lot.
SleepyheadDree 26 Apr 2023 01:31
Mastered, all in all almost all of the Achievements were pretty easy and actively encouraged exploring out the cities. The 1/128 achievements were a pain, especially the Gutsy Bat which took literal days to find.
Rafa8000 17 May 2023 22:42
Finally mastered one of my favorite RPGs of all time, thanks for the set!
AzureStar 5 Jun 2023 16:38
Mastered! Besides the pain that was the antenna and gutsy bat it wasn't that bad and a fun set overall
