I'd have rather you'd pissed people off. Now you'll just have to settle for comments like this, pointing out how little sense your secret makes.

[manzana]

Yes, I'm trying to parse this comment and failing.

Is it that Mother 3 expresses a longing for the "good old days" in America, and OP thinks that's stupid? The opposite? What?

[(Anonymous)]

Mother 3 is my favorite game =")

Honestly, I never felt that was ALL the game was about? There's a ton of different messages the player can get from the game based on how they interpret things. Hell, even the ending itself is up to what the player wants to believe. I'm sorry the message you got from the game was "The 'good old days' are better than the modern way of living."

[(Anonymous)]

I think you left your soul under the couch.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Mother 3 was a bit dissapointing for me too. I just felt nothing could top Gigyas conceptually. I won't 3 is bad, but last game you fought something so powerful it became the very concept of evil. How does an old fat kid that never grew up exceed that?

[ex_earthshaker594]

I never thought the last boss exceeded Gigyas, but I found Porky's casual rearranging of the universe to be a very effective type of human cruelty. How he ends up is neat to me, too.

Transcript

[(Anonymous)]

Image: screen cap from Mother 3, with the text: “He seems to be captivated by the Happy Box.”

Text: I’m a Mexican-American. I’m well aware that Japanese people might not have the same context for “progress” or “the old days” as I do.

But I still thought Mother 3 was stupid.

I keep writing attempts to explain this secret further, and I keep deleting them because I think they’ll just piss people off more. I just don’t know how to explain what “the old days” mean to me.

I've only played like half an hour of Mother

[(Anonymous)]

But I think I'd agree? Firstly I missed it generation-wise, so no personal nostalgia factor. Secondly I'm not emotionally into that particular caricature of America. Lastly unrestrained gushing about "the good old days" makes my eyes roll. I hope I won't do that myself in the future, unless my part of the world gets into really deep shit.

Re: I've only played like half an hour of Mother

[ex_earthshaker594]

Are you thinking of Mother 2/Earthbound? That's the one purely set in Eagleland. Mother 3 starts in a tiny village called Tazmily.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, yes, Earthbound. I looked it up and saw Mother 3 is somewhat disconnected from the rest, but it doesn't seem like my kind of thing either. Still interesting how cult the series is, more power to the fans.

Re: ayrt

[ex_earthshaker594]

I get you! I only began learning about it this year after Earthbound finally released, but it's cool to see that kind of fanbase. Mother 3 was never distributed elsewhere, so the playable version is all fan translated.

[ex_earthshaker594]

I'm also Mexican-American, but the third game ends up being so far removed from the idea of "the good old days" for me (particularly after Leader's reveal) that I never interpreted it this way at all. It was always a family narrative to me. That probably reveals some other bias or stereotype, but hey.

Also, fuck Fassad.
