Mother 3!
« on: December 28, 2009, 02:10:55 pm »
I was wondering if anyone here has played the Japan only GBA classic, Mother 3. With the fan translation being out for more than a year, I decided to make a topic on this marvel of a game. Mother 3, unlike the previous installments, had a very advanced story. The music was great, the characters and bosses phenomanal and it is a near perfect game. I love Mother 3, although I prefer Chrono Trigger because of it's much better story and excellent battle system. Mother 3 had a great story and battle system too, but it can't compare to that of Chrono Trigger's. What do you guys think of Mother 3?

Funny, at the moment I am borrowing it from a friend.  My brother recently finished it, and I've been meaning to start playing, it, but keep forgetting.  I've liked what I've seen.

The game is great. The story, while I liked it, surprised me though. Considering this is a Mother game, compared form what the last two were, it took me by surprise.

To me it was difficult in several parts, but that was easily solved by leveling a little. And once I had PK Ground, good-bye difficulty.

Still, it was fun to play it, and still had what the other two games contained, despite it's... moments. (Chapter 1 comes into mind)

OH HELL YEAH

Mother 3 is the second best RPG ever, IMO. Only Chrono Trigger surpasses it, and even then it's completely different. Hell, I love this game so much I bought both soundtracks and the fangamer Mother 3 Handbook just for the art. I freaking LOVE Mother 3.
Also, I prefer Mother 3's plot twists to Chrono's, but you really shouldn't compare the two as they're different experiences entirely. Also, the music is almost on par with CT's. Almost.
