i finally played MOTHER / EarthBound Beginnings after years of being told that it has "aged poorly" and like... sure, it's not PERFECT and i agree with some common sentiments... ...but i keep seeing people saying that a guide is Mandatory. uh??? did you guys not read the text??? in the game?????

i'm not, like, a super huge RPG guy or anything. for all i know, maybe the "you need a guide" thing actually does apply to some old dragon quest game... but if i'm not a huge RPG guy and still got through it without any* outside help, i'm confused why other people had so much trouble???

*at most, i messaged my friend who loves this game, and asked her "hey just answer with yes or no and nothing else**, is the game literally just asking me to find a cactus" **she said "yes" and offered to give me another very small hint "it's in the desert"

the one thing EVERYBODY mentions is the factory dungeon which is really big + everything looks the same (the devs also admitted in an interview they didn't have time to test play for fine-tuning balance near the end of the game, only check that it didn't crash, so enemy power levels go kinda wack)
