Does anyone on this website know about or have played one of the 3 Mother games? You know, the games where lucas and ness are from.

No but I've played Undertale and Deltarune. I'll play Mother 3 when it comes out in the US though that's probably never happening.

I have never played any of them but I was fascinated with them when I was younger and how it led to an Aum Shinrikyo rabbit hole

I've played Earthbound when I was younger, don't really remember much about the gameplay. The story's definitely outstanding in comparison to most J-RPGs.

The fan translation is easy to find. And if your afraid of the legality of it, Shigesato Itoi himself said that English-speaking fans should just play that.

The tone shift between mother 2 and mother 3 is crazy. It almost feels like it's meant to symbolize the transition from the idealised, idyllic world of childhood (Ness) to the harsh realities of adulthood full of loss (Lucas).

Mother 3 has always resonated a lot with me, and I think a big part of it is that I lost my mother at a young age, so I see myself in Claus and Lucas. If anything, I've grown to love the game more in my adulthood because it shows how awful adulthood is.

Mother 2 / Earthbound was my favorite game as a kid
