I think you guys are missing the fact that there were loving two of each zombie. They're not Claus and Hinawa.

Funny thing about Kumatora, when making the translation patch, Tomato actually had to increase the character limit on character names just so her name would fit.

Well, I can kinda see where they're coming from. Having swears kinda clashes with the saccharine and innocent face of Mother.

Is there any similarity or wordplay between the original Japanese names for Lucas and Claus, or is their anagramability just kinda incidental?

Claus and Lucas were named after two characters Agota Kristof's novel The Notebook. It might be intentional, but not on Itoi's part. The katakana for their names is not anagrammable, though.

Don't sympathize with Jerry. He's the dominant figure in a violent co-dependent relationship. Jerry's a dick. Tom only does the things that comes natural to him. Chasing Jerry is an instinct. But Jerry is a sociopath. He can escape Tom's clutches with ease, any time he wants, because he's smarter than Tom, but instead he decides to mess with Jerry. Hurt him, punish him for even trying. And the screwed up part is Tom keeps coming back. He needs the pain. He wants it.

There was one cartoon where it was just Jerry and the baby mouse loving with Tom while he was sleeping. Tom had literally done nothing to antagonize them. They loving tried to SHOOT HIM. Tom won out in the end, though.

This is what happens when you can't cry until the end. Your emotions get all bottled up and it makes you irritable.

Earthbound was still going to be the name for 1 before someone decided it wasn't a good idea to make a release outside of Japan.

I think it was more that by the time they were ready to release it, the SNES had come out, and they wanted to focus on the new console. It's a lot like what happened to Star Fox 2.

Dan Brown and Stephanie Meyer use words in their books too. I don't think we should use words as a literary device anymore. Sentences are out as well.

When someone buys your book you go to their house and perform a six hour interpretive freeform dance to communicate the story and it's themes to them.

Exactly!

Edit: I'm sayin' that it's not like Dan Brown and Meyer are the only authors who use short chapters, and it's not even like short chapters are trademarks of their works, so it's kinda silly to go "But my video game might be like Tw-Tw-Twilight!"

Mega's also kinda said not to do that poo poo, I believe.

It's also kind of a dickish thing to do anyway.

I'm kinda wary in general about Mother without Itoi, because Mother pretty much IS Itoi. Even if it gets the tone down, it's still gonna come off as a pale imitation of a quite unique man.

I thought I remembered seeing some screens that suggested that there was more to the final boss, like some Giygas-level mindfuck stuff, but I guess I must have misread it. Good LP. Good game.
