A turn-based JRPG and sequel to EarthBound (1994) in which a tragedy surrounding a family in the primitive yet joyful village of Tazmily incites the coming-of-age story of Lucas, the family's younger son, who goes on perilous adventures along with his friends in order to find his missing brother and stop a group of masked men from bringing about the end of the world.

A good game that’s mostly hurt from expectations. How could a game live up to what I’ve built it up in my mind? And I’ve only been dreaming about playing this game for since playing Earthbound in 2014.
To be more concrete with my feelings, it peaked emotionally early despite the ending trying its hardest to top it. The music is impeccable while the writing can be hit and miss. Still not sure how I feel about certain aspects.

One of the most heartwrenching video games I've ever played and it looks cute as shit.
So many heavy subjects in the narrative but the one most compelling to me is how a traumatic event can cause people to shift in different directions, and how the support circles one has can make all the difference. I also loved its commentaries on corruption and the evils of technology.
Overall a truly special game and it's an absolute shame Nintendo refuses to let the English speaking world experience it through legal channels.

Earthbound with a more in-depth combat system and the characters talk a bit more. It lacks some of the charm of earthbound but makes up for it with one of the most dark and tragic stories in any Nintendo game
Mother 3 é mais do que apenas uma emulação de "Le Grand Cahier"; é uma narrativa emocionalmente poderosa. Em um esforço para se tornarem estoicos, os meninos acabam tão inocentes quanto começaram. Enfim, Mother 3 é o pior jogo de dança que já joguei.

This is one of, if not the most beautiful stories told in a game. Not only does it boast extremely realistic and complex characters, an interesting and unique scenario, and extremely advanced commentary on many schools of thought, it is also an extremely funny and cute game, with gorgeous sprite art, and amazingly unique gameplay. Probably a contender for the best game ever made.
