Mother 3's story is overrated.

[Koopaul]

Wait a minute... you didn't mean celebration to mean what it means?

I don't think celebration means:

But, calling it a celebration is too much. That makes Itoi sound like some guy who just loves american culture and want to bring it to his own country, praising it as the best.

I looked up the definition. And there are quite few meanings. Mine was "to honor" which is exactly what he's doing in a humorous way.

How does "celebration" mean that he believes American culture is the best and everyone should follow it? I never implied that.

Anyway, I'm finally going to go into further detial about the Hummingbird Egg and what Leder said. Here's the exact words he told Lucas, with my comments inserted into them.

Those who came aboard The White Ship feared another "End of the World" more than anything else. They felt that the world's destruction was a direct result of the way they had lived. (Really? The way they lived? That seems like a stretch but okay.) The people of the White Ship discussed things at great length. They shared their wisdom and spoke with great seriousness. And then they arrived at their conclusion. They decided to completely erase everyone's memories of the previous "world" and start their lives over with new rules and new roles. Yes. In short, everyone would play out the ideal "story" that they had come up with. (So everyone is living a happy lie than face the truth?) That is what happened. The people would restart their lives in a simple peaceful village, the kind of place they wished they had grown up in. They would erase their memory of everything: the world, their belongings, their rules...
...and then they would begin their new lives. (Why can't they live their new lives AND have their memories? Then they'll always remember why they chose to live this way.) Everyone's old memories would be reset and replaces with their newly-created "story". ANd this the village of Tazmily came to be.

However, it was necessary to record the fact that the memory replacement had taken place. (Yes it is! Why not let everyone have that knowledge?) The Hummingbird Egg was the device used to store the memories of the White Ship people. Wess and his son Duster, both playing the roles of thieves, were set to take action should a dangerous situation occur. (why leave the responsibility to the few?)

Remember when they went to Osohe Castle? They went their to retrieve the secret of the "People of the White Ship".

And there's one other thing. Me. It was essential that one person retain memory of the previous world. (why only one?) to keep watch over things. I was the only one in the Tazmily Village who wasn't given a role in the new "story". The sound of my bell seved as a "suggestion", to keep everyone's fabricated memories from reverting. (Again, Why?) My name "Leder" comes from the word "Leader". No, no, that doesn't mean I was anyone special. It was just that I was particularly taller than all others. So, upon discussion, I was selected because it would be easier for me to stand out. Being tall people would come to see me, you know? And so I was given the the role of revealing these secrets when the time truly called for it. (that is the most foolish thing I've heard!)

Like I said before, those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it! There's a great example in the actual game of just this!

Remember the Happy Boxes? If people remembered the past, they would have never fallen for Fassad's tricks. They would have never become obsessed with the Happy Boxes. It's all because they were naive to the wisdom that tragedy should have taught them.

Imagine if we never learned about Nazi Germany? If we chose to forget that horrible thing ever happened. We HAVE to know! We all have to know. So we can learn and grow and survive.

Keeping humanity in a chidlike state would never be helpful for them. EVentually every child needs to know their isn't a Santa Claus. Eventually every child should be taught at school of the world's end.

Everyone in the game would be wiser and forsee the danger coming, I feel so many of these problems in the game would have been solved if everyone knew the truth ahead of time.



This all comes down to me over thinking things. Do you know I disliked Harry Potter because the Wizards chose to keep the dangers that the Muggles were in a secret from them? Don't they deserve to know? They aren't stupid babies! Maybe they could help?
