Yes, Mother 3 is very sad. It's very clear from the start that M3 is going to get very dark and depressing at points, which is a pretty big leap from the other two games. Really, I don't mind it, the story in Mother 3 is very well done, but it just feels kinda out of place.

Mother and Mother 2 still manage to be very emotional games, which is really something given how weird and quirky they are. The games presented themselves in such a way that certain moments would have impact despite most of the dialogue being totally off the walls. Mother 3 just straight up goes full on depressing mode, which is kinda odd. It still has the typical weird dialogue from random townsfolk and junk, but you can tell they were going for a very heavy story focus with the game.
