"Lucas wanted to cry".

Me too, kid. Best game of all time.

"You need to look for the pickles right now."

i have a lot of conflicting feelings on mother 3. theres no denying its a masterpiece of a game with a heartwrenching story, loads of good characters, incredibly written dialog, beautiful sprite work, an insane soundtrack for the gameboy advance, but like... i dunno, this isn't really what i come to the mother series for? not in terms of all the stuff i just listed, moreso in atmosphere and setting. my favorite part of the mother series is its primarily modern setting, taking place in mostly normal towns and cities, and it kinda feels like mother 3 throws that out for something more fantastical. that isn't to say this setting doesnt work in the context of mother 3, it absolutely does, it's just very different from the first two games. in the end, i can say i definitely like mother 3 on its own, but in comparison to the other two games, i think i might take mother 1 and 2

Mother 3 is one of my favorite games of all time and for good reason. It is everything I want in a sequel. It has amazing music, graphics, and themes. It took what Earthbound had and made it better with an amazing story which can make anyone shed a tear.

Un héroe no es aquel que hace lo correcto, si no aquel que pese a las adversidades sigue por el buen camino.
Mucho se habla de la triste vida que vivió Lucas, pero nadie habla de lo excelente protagonista que es, sin decir una sola palabra podemos percibir su tristeza, pero también su determinación a terminar con lo que empezó.
El hecho que el grupo principal sea tan distinto al de los dos juegos anteriores da un mensaje muy simple pero bello: No importa que sea, chico, chica, perro o Duster, la amistad viene de lo más profundo e ignora la edad, el sexo, de dónde provengas e incluso la especie.
Un JRPG de los más hermoso. 10/10
