Mother 3's story is overrated.

Koopaul, I think you are forgetting that the people in Tazmilly are humans. They decided to reset and start anew, seeing that the old world wasn't good to live in anymore. The thing is, by erasing their memories, it is not 'avoiding the truth' or 'being ignorant on purpose'. Humans exist to learn, and this new life would be another opportunity to improve. I see where you are coming from, if they knew about the bad things, they /could/ have led a life without problems, who knows. But by doing that, there would have no reason to live because we live to learn. And the faults and the growth of each character is what gives Tazmilly a more human feel.

The Egg was created as a sort of backup, for emergency. Few people were designated to do this because otherwise there would be a clusterfuck of people trying to get ahold of it; they had organized everything in order to avoid conflicts. It was all decided prior to the new life because of this.

Finally, Leder's explanation of being a 'Leader' might sound silly at first, but the fact that he was chosen to be the leader for no strong reason whatsoever reminds us he's a human like anyone else. He doesn't have anything better than the rest; he isn't more or less capable than the others. He was chosen as a volunteer, leading people without imposing power or anything over them.

So the choice might not be perfect, I understand, but those details are what give life to the pixels and dialogue you see.
