[msSonic191]

3:05 AAAAAAH make it stop!!!

[Bloodrun069]

when you go to hell, all the radios play a loop of this.

[meta527II]

Yes. This song is awesome but scary.

[AshandSmoke]

I don't get why this is so scary to everyone...is it one of those songs you have to hear in context of the gameplay to be scared of?

[BallsInYourJawsBitch]

When Midi format produces the most creepy music ever, one must think that current artists have no true talent.

[WallBush]

@BallsInYourJawsBitch

i disagree. i think the fact that MIDIs sound so unnatural to begin with really adds to the creepiness

[joaoaspimienta]

what is this video? XD where is this from?

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

If you haven't found out by now, this is the Final Battle theme to the Happy-Go-Lucky/ very quirky game called "Earthbound", or "Mother 2" in Japan.

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII thx! XD  but,what is happening? are the guys from this game fighting the last boss or something?

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

Yes. And this is one of the most disturbing bosses from a non-horror video game yet, especially if you know the story behind Gyiyg (the proper translation for the boss's name).

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII wow! why is he that disturbing? O___O

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

Part of it has to do with his quotes.

"NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS NESS..." I can't count all of those. He repeats the name of whatever you name your character so many times.

"It hurts, Ness..."

"I feel... G... O...O... D...."

"I'm... H... A... P... P ...Y...."

"... Friends...."

I might be missing some, but the creator, Itoi, actually sat in a room for hours with somebody to write down the first things that came into his head.

Cont.

[RockXIII]

@RockXIII

Another reason, as I've said before, has to do with the story behind him.

Basically, when he was very young, Itoi walked into the wrong movie theater and saw what he thought was a rape scene (which was actually proven to be a murder scene), and it traumatized him. I don't blame him.

Not to mention his forms. You can watch them all on Youtube, though, and they don't compare to the quality when you actually fight him. I'll give you my names for them though.

Cont.

[RockXIII]

@RockXIII

1: Red Screaming Swirling Face

2: Red Enlarged Waving Face

3: Multiple Fetuses

4: Disturbing Ultrasound

The music, as you listen to in this video, doesn't help. His actual fighting themes don't start until 0:59, the peaceful and quieted down parts are scenes of when you are praying for help, and his death is at 3:20.

So yeah.

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII but....erm.....why does gyigas exists and what does it want and how come it knows ness?

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

Giygas was the main villain from the previous game, which was never released in America (it was supposed to, though). He was an alien who was ordered to take over Earth because one of the humans who raised him (I'm not too entirely sure about that story, meaning I don't know) returned to Earth with the knowledge of their PSI -psychic- powers/ he knew how to use PSI. Two generations later Gyiyg (or Geigue in the official release) was ordered to take over/ destroy Earth and

[RockXIII]

@RockXIII

destroy those who had PSI.

The main hero of that story is a teenager named Ninten, who learns the melody that his mother (wife of the man raised him and was deceased) sang to him and he and his friends sing it too him. This causes Gyiyg to not be able to bring himself to finish his mission, so he flees, claiming that they'd meet again. Which they don't.

Now, several years later, Gyiyg has been building his PSI power, but it became too strong for him, and destroyed his body and mind.

[RockXIII]

@RockXIII

And because of it, he became the swirling red disturbing mess you see in the video.

Gyiyg was so powerful, that ten years after the settings in Mother 2, he caused a universal apocalypse. I'm not sure at what time, but he had to be contained, so the Starmen (his people) placed him in a container called the "Devil's Machine" and placed him way back into the past.

Gyiyg, in this form, has no control over his actions, he doesn't know what he's doing...

Cont.

[RockXIII]

@RockXIII

He's not AWARE of anything, he's, as Ness's corrupted neighbor friend thing said, "an almighty idiot".

As to how he knows Ness, that I'm not entirely sure of. Considering his state of being there could be numerous reasons. I haven't beaten the game yet. I hope this answers your question, though.

If you can, download ZSNES, then download Earthbound. You won't get into trouble. Nintendo of America dissociates itself with the series as a whole.

It's one of the best series ever, though.

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII thanks! XD

11097 damage to Giygas.

[joaoaspimienta]

@jhardyrules who is reid?

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

I imagine that's what he named his file name in Earthbound. See, when he's in the Disturbing Ultrasound form, your prayers were "absorbed by the darkness", the first time you pray. Then, the second time, what you saw in his comment happens, and you yourself deal massive damage to Gyiyg and kill him.

I said it once, and I'll say it again: I feel sorry for the person who had to sprite Gyiyg.

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII "I feel sorry for the person who had to sprite Gyiyg." why?

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

... Did you not see his Disturbing Ultrasound form? It shows later on in the video.

I mean, would YOU want to sprite that?

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII no ^__^

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII why does lucas have to fight claus to the death in mother 3?

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

Do you really want me to spoil a masterpiece?

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII yes,please *_*

[RockXIII]

@joaoaspimienta

All right, but I'm telling you through PM, so that people who don't want spoilers get them, and so that I'll have more room to type.

[joaoaspimienta]

@RockXIII okay,thanks A LOT!!!! ^_______^
