Super Robot Taisen 64 is my favorite RPG on the 64, but yeah maybe Mother 3 could have been the best... honestly though, I'm glad it was released on the GBA, I think sprite-based graphics suit the series better than 3D.

I always thought the character models looked almost too realistic, compare these models of Claus and Lucas to Ness' model from Smash bros. 64.

One thing I remember reading from old magazines was that the battles were supposed to implement some sort of enviromental-powered attacks, say if you were in a forest, you'd be able to make certain attacks, if you were in the desert others, etc... not sure how that would have turned out but sounds interesting.

but hiragana is easy as fuck to learn, however without the kanji it's a bit difficult to figure out what they mean. Mother's writing style is simple though, so that even if it's all kana, it's understandable. If you can speak japanese, but have problem reading kanji, playing Mother (or many other old RPGs which also used exclusively kana) shouldn't be a problem.

Also, I think Mother 64 looked interesting, back then it definitely looked impressive, and I liked the sort of creepy/surreal art direction (although this was done a lot in early 3D games, you know making structures and characters look cartoony, in M64 it looked like it was really well done).
But, as much as I would've liked to play it on N64, it didn't happen, and I really liked the GBA game and how it had that 16 bit RPG charm. I felt kind of sad while playing it, not only because of the story, but also because I knew it was probably going to be the last major RPG release in that style of graphics and design.
