  • I shouldn't have to say this, but SPOILERS! If you don't want the game's ending spoiled for you, do not watch this video.
    If you're looking for a strategy for the final boss, all you need to do is survive. Be prepared with appropriate items to restore HP and/or PP. If you've gotten to this point, you really shouldn't have any trouble with this fight. Keep your HP high so that you have plenty of time to heal if you get hit with a powerful attack.

    I couldn't imagine how the FULL game would turn out. If you didn't know, Itoi said Mother 3 was going to be a lot more depressing and darker than the final version, but I think because of memory limitations they had to be cut. These include Porky's death; three flashbacks involving Lucas and Claus for the final battle; an animation of Claus being constructed into a robot AKA the Masked Man; Kumatora being a Magypsie instead of Fassad, meaning that when you pull the final needle you have to sacrifice Kumatora; unused battle backgrounds that involve having Claus in it; an unused boss referred to as "Lucas's Nightmare"; etc.

The game is about Lucas overcoming his trauma and growing up. Its about pushing through trauma and letting that help you be strong, not to corrupt you. He doesn't have time to cry and do nothing, because he's becoming strong now, and being so means that you have to shoulder responsibility for everyone you love.

    Look at how happy things were when Lucas and Claus were born in comparison to the end game. Flint and Hinawa didn't have a doubt in the world at this point. 2 incredibly thrilled parents hoping for the best to come out of their children as they grew up. This cut scene really forces you to look over everything that's happened in the story. Animals being modified into dangerous creatures, the Sunshine Forest burned down, Hinawa's death, the introduction of money, the people of Tazmily becoming selfish, people losing their home just because they rejected Happy Boxes. The once ancient magypsies finally dissappearing, and now your own brother trapped undet Porky's control. This whole game is tragic if you think about it.

      @elenan.798 2 роки тому +5

      Itoi left the ending open, but at the same time, there are many hints that speak of a happy ending. The player had to be attentive to details to understand this.
      Conversations on a black background are definitely not in the afterlife, because you are touching Porky, locked in a completely safe capsule, Porky cannot die.
      Now a little about whether Hinawa and Claus were revived. Here is some evidence.
      First, after the meteor destruction, there are dialogues in which someone says "Did the Dragon's revival give power to all life?" and "I thought everything was about to be destroyed...but everyone is alive" and also mentions a miracle. It would be pointless to state unless someone who was lost had come back, such as Claus.
      Secondly, Itoi Shigesato in one of his interviews says:
      Question: In the end, the dragon is revived and the island is completely destroyed, but everyone is still alive, aren't they?
      Itoi: "That's right. So to bring out the strength in these human beings, no matter what, Hinawa and Claus had to make sure to tell everyone their goodbyes."
      If Claus and Hinawa were left dead, then it would be logical to mention that Claus' self-sacrifice saved the world. Instead, Itoi says that everyone is alive and Claus and Hinawa just had to say goodbye because they didn't know for sure what the future would be like.
      Third, Before the cast, after Lucas supposedly said "Thanks. We sure had a lot of fun, didn't we?" followed by an unknown character who wants to say goodbye to the player, but feels awkward or insecure. Unlike all other characters, he says "Thanks..." after some hesitation of about 2 lines. Considering everything that had happened it would make sense that Claus would be hesitant around the player, and say so little.

      @@elenan.798 giving Lucas comfort and closure kind of like performing last rites to keep his doubts from clouding his judgment. Similar to how facing your own inner turmoil conquering your own demons one unchecked contradiction or sin if you want to call it that is a reminder of what you used to be like can undo all your progress, basically if hinawa didn't help, Lucas may have had dark thoughts of revenge or fear in him and the dragon would have destroyed everyone. I like how flint teaches Lucas how to forgive because he wanted to kill the mecha drago but decided not to pull the trigger. If he did and flint didn't say anything to him or just say "well pull it already." Yeah the world would be annihilated. Very mature writing for what on the surface is a kid friendly game.

      @mordredd 5 років тому +126

      that's true, when you meet again with someone who hasn't seen in years, the smell is the first thing you notice when you see that person; this is why when other person smells similar to another one you know, you look around to see if it's that person you know.

    • @MishKoz
      @MishKoz 4 роки тому +114

      When I first played the game, this line caught me off guard. But when I thought about it more, it's very human. Smell is often an extremely powerful tool to remember something by. Like for example, I played Ocarina of Time as a kid around the same time our basement was being repainted, and to this day whenever I smell fresh paint, I can catch a glimpse of Link running through Hyrule Field at sunset.
      Recognizing the smell of a missing family member you've been searching for for years though... I'd imagine the rush of emotion would be staggering on its own.

    • @FirsToStrike
      @FirsToStrike 4 роки тому +48

      fun little neuroscience fact- mammal's sense of smell indicates what we evolved from- prehistoric rat like creatures, for whom the sense of smell was the one they most relied upon for survival (to know what to avoid- e.g cats and what to approach- e.g food)
      Our brain is linked in such a way that the sense of smell is still the one most related to emotions and memory. (even tho sight is the most important one for us- takes nearly 25% of the brain to process)

    I'll leave this here for those who want to see a happy ending here.
    Even if you don't think the credits mean anything, you can consider what happened before the credits.
    Before the credits, there is the phrase "A crisis gone is easily forgotten. In any case, everyone is peachy-keen now." Sorry what? Is everyone carefree and happy? Just ask yourself under what conditions can a crisis be easily forgotten? Only if you and your loved ones escaped death. If someone dies, then the hole in the heart stays with you for life. If the dragon had not revived everyone, then Lucas would never have been able to be peachy-keen. Claus as a zombie and as a mechanical cyborg wouldn't make Lucas carefree either.
    Mention of a miracle, the phrase "We've regained something incredibly immense!" and multiple thanks to the player for saving the world also hint that something so incredible has happened that it's hard to imagine. The dragon revived everyone, literally everyone, even mole crickets. I think that the very last frame of the game, where Hinawa sends pigeon mail, is not accidental. This was the moment when everyone was still happy, and the Dragon allowed everyone to return to the psychological and emotional state that was at that time. I do not mean a rollback of events, I think that it was the revival of all the characters and sentient beings that happened, and they have a memory of these three years.
    Hell, I'm sure Itoi didn't want to leave us all weeping over the fate of Lucas and Claus forever. Enough of the tears that we shed during the final battle! This conversation in the dark just doesn't make sense if Claus is dead.

    ... Lucas was never finished in the Mother series. Now when you think about it, in Subspace his character finally got his ending. We find him still remorseful and sad about the events of this game, but then is ambushed by the Subspace armies and the King Statue. It is now he meets Ness, the Earthbound Protagonist who had a happier ending in his game of the same series. Ness has Lucas' back. They destroy Pokey together and rid him from both of their lives. But then comes Wario, taking the only friend and confidence that Lucas had just gained. After fleeing, Lucas runs into Red, the Pokemon trainer, and they get ambushed by the Subspace armies. After emerging victorious, Lucas and Red venture forth together, finding the other two Pokemon Red needs to fight. Some time passes, and before long the duo run into Wario. But this time, Lucas isn't scared. He's mad. He's confident. He remembers Wario. And he fights with full force. Who would have ever thought a character could be finished outside their main game?

    What a sad final battle, specially because you cannot hurt the enemy without feeling bad, and how it (intentionally?) has his beam reflected at the end... Although I liked more Giygas in Earthbound

      There is an unused giygas version of Claus which was going to be the final boss, and it is scarier than Giygas.

      wow this comment is old. this fight is scary in a different way. you’re not fighting an evil alien overlord, it’s your brother whom you haven’t seen for years. you missed him dearly only to discover he’s alive but as an empty husk who wants to destroy you. you have no choice but to fight him because the fate of the world depends on it. you try to resist but to no prevail. this fight is much scarier than any giygas because it is a personal fight that truly strikes at your emotions. it’s a boss you never wanted to fight, and that makes it the scariest

    I think that this game is all about reflections of what you feel when you loose someone who was important in your life, the one that you love, it dont matter if is your mother, your brother, your girlfriend... The feel of emptyness, loneliness but also with the hope to see them again...

    I only wish I could experience this again for the 1st time. I can easily say this is my favorite gba game despite the many more hours ive put into so many others but none of that can top the story that this game told. I dont think any game has made me cry before but this one did it, Itoi really knew what he was doing I suppose. I can only hope that many more people can experience this masterpiece someday...
