Mother 3 is regarded as having one of the best stories in video games and yet I can't help but be annoyed by a few things.
The whole concept of the Egg that hold everyone's memories of old is incredibly stupid. It's supposed to prevent people from doing what they did to the world before but... If people don't remember the mistakes they have done in the past then they are very likely to do it again! We learn from our history and know not to make the same mistakes.
Not to mention this utopia created years ago on the dragon while everyone STILL had their memories. They were doing the right thing even when they had all their old memories. Why did they need to replace all their memories then?
On top of that the whole anticonsumerism moral and living without technology seemed hypocritical seeing how this was being told on a video game. That like a TV show telling you TV is bad. The whole humanity dooming itself with TV seems ham fisted. What's really strange is that the original Mother games seem to celebrate United States culture and lifestyle while this game seems to demonize it. What happened to the creator of this series to make him have such a change of heart?
What do you guys think?
