Argue about Mother

[sleepysmiles]

(crashes through window) HEY you should all read this post i made about Mother 1 in this other thread

can we talk about mother 3?

Yes this is a topnotch MOTHER thread here’s my sketchy, overlong post about interesting stuff in MOTHER1. I guess if MOTHER2 is about the Hero’s Journey through adolescence and MOTHER3 is about having to accept the end of childhood then MOTHER is just embracing the experience of being a child and finding the wonder in the world around you. There is a mundanity to the environments and most of the enemies that’s markedly different from the subsequent games. More of the things you fight are wild …

some of my finest work
(also it’s the 69th post. nice)

There are some other good posts in there too i guess, especially the other ones i made

i think the only hot take i have in me right now is that Mother 2 is mechanically a good game. Not “good if you can tolerate jrpgs”, not “cool world/story/characters but the gameplay is bad”. No actually it’s a good, well-designed game (with some obvious flaws), get better at talking about jrpgs.
