An old lady in Twoson will usually comment on how Ness and Paula make a good couple… but what happens if you only have Jeff in your party?

Fanfic writer squad, activate!
I think a lot of people know about this little oversight already – you can get it to happen after Paula gets kidnapped in the Fourside department store – but I like to document little things like this on the site anyway.
Thanks to Karl151k for posting about it on the Starmen.Net forums the other day!

They DO make such a nice couple. 🙂
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Yes we’re a couple of guys all right!
Well, I guess Jeff would always be the receiver because…
Jeff has no PP!
mato i read your comment as loss.jpg what does that say about me as a person
“FanFic writer squad, activate!”
Don’t give them ideas like that. D:

I hate to see what Yaoi suppoters think.=/
its not really a glitch but more of an overlooked situation.
They didnt expect people to go back to Twoside and talk to the old lady when Paula was kidnapped
@Mato
Here’s a better screenshot of this:

That’s what I thought too when I saw this screenshot but the pairing of NessxJeff isn’t anything too new, IMO.
I like how either the comments are people smiling and making jokes or people being homophobic morons.
It’s a joke guys, grow a pair.
Instead of being the later i’ll just make a joke and say that i’m pretty sure Tony’s going to kill Ness, can I get an agreement on that? 😛
@Whatever:
How do you know the “homophobic morons” aren’t just creeped out by the idea of their childhood having sex with itself? Besides, we’re not completely serious.
I always find it hilarious how people in the Land of the Free spit the word liberal like its a bad thing.
I really hate to barge in…
but, we are talking about a accident in programing. They expected for us to not go back to Twoson after being able to proceed to Threed. Let’s all be peaceful…PK Love?
At least, Let’s not fight, kay-o?
“I hate to see what Yaoi suppoters think.=/”
I’m a yaoi supporter, and…
…I think this is hilarious. I’d never ship it, mind you–in fact, NessXPaula and DusterXKumatora are the only MOTHER pairings I ship, to be honest–but this is just…”lulz” as the kiddies say.
Didn’t someone once say this old lady says, “Of course, I’m nearsighted…” or something after this line if you just have Ness and Jeff?

Wow. Way to derail here, guys… @Mato, can I have WordPress admin rights?! 😀 😀 😀

Hmmmm, yaoi. Boy did this thread take a wrong turn…
Apparently the message of “lol funny oversight but eww” I was trying to convey was totally lost. Whoops.
Fun picture. I love noticing oversights such as this. I think a similar one happens in Final Fantasy VI somewhere, not necessarily a thing about couples but it’s just awkward dialogue moments.
I love it when people say “Freakin’ Liberals” and such when really the only point of gay marriage, abortion, and other such ‘ethical’ debates is mainly a smokescreen to cloud the fact that the government’s financial plans are running it into the ground and that the majority of voters vote on such superficial things.
Anyway. That’s my spiel.
I could go on and say that decisions such as gay marriage and what not have nothing to do with your lives and point out the flaws in slippery slope arguments in which people say next we’ll allow the marriage of people and cats or something. But that’s just stupid and doesn’t deserve a counter argument.
I always thought of Ness and Jeff just being friends not like that.
I had already seen the sceen at home and I had to laught a lot. Of course the fact that Tony likes Jeff (or so it seems) makes it look even more like a soap opera.
I just wonder what would she say if one of them (either Ness or Jeff) is dead. After all, she sais something different if you have the four members of the team and Paula (and only Paula) is dead.
I love it. When it’s one boy and one girl it’s cute and innocent and nobody bats an eye, but when it’s two boys people are all “eww” and “poor Jeff” and “noooo my childhood is having sex with itself!!” (what)
You want to explain to me how there’s *not* homophobia in that? I’ll wait.
Anyways cute oversight 🙂 Considering Tony and all, though, I have to wonder if a tester realized this in development and Itoi was all “nah keep it”?
Hee hee, something similar also happens when you call mom after Paula is abducted. I think I might’ve mentioned this somewhere else, too.
@DoNoooo
homophobia means “fear of homosexuality”
There’s a difference between fearing something and being opposed to or weirded out by it. Grow up, stop throwing the word “homophobia” around and use it correctly.
Ohoho… yaoi fanfic writers, it is time to write fanfics, crack or otherwise 😉
Homophobes, etc.: Grow the frick up already. It’s just a silly little joke, get over it.
The Mother games and Azumanga Daioh I respect and revere waaay too much to even look at the characters in a sexual light that isn’t tasteful (or intended by the creators)…it always deeply disturbs me when people people make slash fiction or draw porn of Mother, because it sort of feels like if my little brother or sister were having porn made out of them if that makes sense. I don’t view them as a platform with which to project my own sexual desires upon to warp and twist what the creators have done with something that is very emotional to me. :X
I mean, I know it’s just a game and all, and they’re fictional characters, but that’s just how I feel for my own self I guess.
IIRC, the old lady says after this something along the lines of “then again, my eyes are getting old…”
So now it becomes a joke on the elderly and short-sighted! Yay?
OtterOtter summed up my feelings perfectly. It’s just not right to sexualize/fetishize/pervert every little thing under the sun, Rule 34 notwithstanding. 🙁

And the yaoi fangirls go wild…

EPIC FAIL.
Only itoi knows what TRUELY happend after paula was kidnapped at the department store… 😉
Huh. If Tony’s confirmed, and this lady is accurate, then is Jeff semi-confirmed? …Oh, and since Ness is the primary character and an extension of the player, that makes HIS thoughts a blank slate and up for interpretation. So Ness x Jeff is equally likely to Ness x Paula? Then again, EarthBound is more linear than Mother was, and the progression of the story means that the developers didn’t think of a situation when the player would go back and talk to this one lady with this particular party setup… Either way, maybe I’m reading too deeply into this.
BTW, can someone get a better screenshot of this? This one is kind of blurry and is a lossy jpg.
