What the fuck is this, OP?

One of the discord groups for this stuff has banned this hack from being mentioned because the creator did something I guess. I don't fucking know. I barely remember and rarely even check those for updates on mother 1 remakes. Worth mentioning for the culture.

>Massively rebalanced to make the game more fair and less arbitrarily difficult.
>Jeff has his own Tools menu of his special items to free up his inventory.
>Many new battle animations for PSI and Jeff’s Tools.
>New final dungeon to tie Mother 2 and 3 together.
>Your Places (formerly known as Your Sanctuaries) that can be skipped until later (Lilliput Steps, Milky Well, Magnet Hill, and Pink Cloud) now auto upgrade their enemies and bosses over time to stay at your power level all game.
>Enemies completely reprogrammed to be very intelligent. Bosses and stronger enemies can detect status ailments on them and heal themselves.
>New PSI and PSI arrangements and costs.
>New battle sprites and enemy overworld sprites.
It sounds fine for a replay, just to shake things up a little.

And the option to change the difficulty to the original so you can have the SoL changes for the vanilla game but im sure people who want a challenge would pick the other difficulties, plus when you pick you harder deluxe difficulty you have optional dungeons with new bosses

I've never heard of it.
Therefore, I will not let any information about it taint my nostalgia of Earthbound.
Bye!

Since WHEN did RHDN stop making readmes so readily available to read before downloading? Too many people (rightfully) judging hacks before downloading? Assholes inflating the download count for engagement. Here's your readme.
>Come on over to the PKHack Discord blablabla best way to converse and comment on the hack
Oh first line and I bet that aged well...
>all the exclamation points and capitalization
Wow, he must really feel like he cracked the code.
>MUCH closer to the Japanese (but I made shit up because sorry I no reade Japenise)
Jesus, I can tell this is going to be dreadful.
Also, >>12419056 why the fuck is the one on RHDN still 2.0 and not 3.0? Did someone yank the project away from him?
No wonder the MaternalBound guy thinks his translation sucks, I don't have to look at the text and I can tell he's the wrong fit to be touching any localization and resorted to throwing in gross hacks to pat himself on the back and feel better about his crap edits.

>>12419056
not my type of hack. I prefer either vanilla + improvements or completely original hacks, this is in a weird place inbetween

I think it's still in beta and only being shared on his zoomcord

I'll just make a new game using the game's base engine at this point

Sounds bad.

>stop improving things!
okay autist

>>12420478
Removing difficulty isn't improvement, brainless worm.

>>12420492
What difficulty is there to remove in fucking Earthbound (outside of exploding trees dealing more dmg than they should do to text speed being slower than it should be)?

>>12420492
i thought the hack INCREASES difficulty

Maternalbounder is kind of a dick for discouraging the vanilla texthack, but once these hacker types get the idea in their head that they are the chosen one who can "fix" a "broken" game there's little you can do to stop their autism.
>>12420478
No one raises a stink if you're making a straightforward 'improvement' or 'text' hack; it's when you combine them that shows how little faith you have in either to stand on their own next to other hacks.

>>12420495
>text speed being slower than it should be
I've been wishing for a hack just to fix this but I'm not really sure if anyone is able to.

>>12420552
