So, I got off my ass and played Earthbound/Mother 3

**LASER BEAR ASSAULT UNIT** · 03-03-2009, 10:56 AM

Wow, that is really all I can say, these games were both amazing in every way shape and form, Giygas is the only final boss fight which has EVER actually affected me emotionally, it actually induced sparks of fear, which is really rare for me. The music, the whole feeling of the fight, and worst of all, noticing that looking closely, you can see a feotus, that shook me quite at bit, it made me think, you're being sent back in time to kill it in a weaker phase... as an infant.. >.>

Mother 3 had a beautiful storyline and some of the most amazing characters ever, Lucas is probably on my top characters of ever list, and that Porky fight was amazing, music and all, the final boss was really emotionally moving, overall an amazing game.

tl;dr, what the **** have I been missing out on all these years.

You play standing up?

Nice to know you see what everyone else sees and stuff like that.

Loved Mother 3. Someone described it as "the closest a video game has come to literature." I'd have to agree.

***Marilink*** · 03-03-2009, 03:00 PM

I really need to play Mother 3, but really won't get the chance until this summer. Maybe over Easter Break?

Before I played M3, I played SSBB and hated Lucas for being badassly saved by Ness and then abandoned him.

But he was actually a refreshing character in M3.

Only three games ever made me cry: FFVI, FFIX, and Mother 3.

These games are just something that once you know about them you fall in love with them. -CSM

Always glad to hear someone who has discovered the Mother games for the first time! Are you going to give EarthBound Zero a shot?

**LASER BEAR ASSAULT UNIT** · 06-16-2009, 03:08 AM

Just beat Earthbound zero, also an excellent game.

**LASER BEAR ASSAULT UNIT** · 06-16-2009, 11:11 AM

They are fantastic, they really are.

I would play Mother 3 but I lost my save file and I don't particularly want to play chapter 1 again so!

Speed · 06-16-2009, 09:17 PM

I beat Earthbound a while back and I'm on the first leg of my second M3 playthrough.

Earthound's final boss scared me ****less and the fight against the masked man had me on the verge of tears.

and then consider I spoiled the hell out of both these events.
