First off alittle background info on Ness' Dad, he is only heard, never seen and he has an amazing amount of money to give his son. First I tackle the fact that he is never seen. I not completly sure why he is never seen, but I think it is because they wanted to keep him a mystery for a future game. But as pretty much all of you know "Ness'" dad is never seen in EBzero either. So thats probably not it. It could be the producers of the game wanted people to wonder about him and write articles like this.

Now for the infinate wealth Ness' Dad seem to "blessed" with. First of all this is an Video Game and a RPG, so they needed a way to keep the "modern feel" of EB so they used the father, so that it could seem like alowance(That's a heck of a lot of work for that alowance). But where does he get it? I don't know, but since it is a video game, if he didn't have a infinate amount of money than the game would kinda not be as fun. For example, Ness Dad saying, "sorry Ness I didn't put money in your account because I'm broke, so I'll owe you okay?" Can you imagin that? Pretty scary isn't it?

Unless they he appeares in EB64, Ness' fathers identity will remain a mystery, for EB fans to ponder for a long time to come.
