>What is gen Z or similar people opinions about Mother 3?
Since it is very unclear which age-group you might be asking opinions from, I'll state the standard definition of "Generation Z" claims people born between 1996-2010.
I was born 1987. I don't think my opinion applies to "Gen Z."
I played Earthbound when it was released sometime in 1995 as an 8-year-old.

>And to you anons...did you liked Mother 3?
I played it as soon as it got its fan-translation (Tomato) widely available sometime in 2008 or 2009.
No, I did not like Mother 3. I found its plot "really fucking gay." Lucas was "pathetic," Duster was oddly gymnastic despite his explicit limp, Kumatora was cute, Boney was fine, I guess. The music was alright but its GBA tone and harsher battle themes is far less enjoyable when compared to Earthbound's. The setting was too fantastical and the story took itself too seriously.
It lost its "campiness" feel and its world wasn't one I wanted to explore. Aside from visual cues, it does not share its tone with Mother 1 or Earthbound at all.

>Do you prefer Mother 2 over 3 or the inverse?
I am immensely nostalgic, and genuinely love, Earthbound.
I played Mother 3 once and I ultimately regret doing so.

Most people don't believe this?

Mother 3 is garbage and it's greatest legacy will be it's persistent and annoying proponents. Mother 1 is pretty uninteresting. Mother 2/Earthbound is halfway decent, but is way outclassed by it's contemporaries on the same console. Which is a shame because I adore the potential behind the idea of "JRPG with relatively modern setting while still retaining many of the same tropes just with different window dressing" is great, but it'll be permanently associated with the Earthbound fandom no matter what it tries to do to distinguish itself and stand apart.

I'm the same, can't choose between either Ness or Jeff.
Favorite NPC has to be Everdred, I just love his shit-eating grin.

I was talking about me claiming it as the best RPG ever made that would be met with shitposting, actually. Though looking at my comparisons it never really occurred to me that Ness is basically what Mario would be like as a kid, while people often compare him to Red I'm surprised that nobody else has made the connection, which leads me to ask, was Miyamoto involved in the Mother games at all?

Also it makes me wonder: Who gets off to this crap? Not the straight shota stuff but the deeply disturbing shit like Valentine '88 and Morphine's Giygas and Pokey doujins

Do they really have any religious themes beyond the churches and Paula praying during the final battle? I can't really think of any.

>>4890206
Sorry buddy, but Paula is bess gurl. Lloyd on the other hand, is my favorite of the "Nerd" characters, I can't help but relate to him being bullied and ridiculed

The fanbase may be whiny and a bit on the spectrum, I will never stop loving Earthbound and the Mother series. I l-love you, Itoi-Sama

No. Actual "Boomers" are either Carlin-tier Hippie fucks or warmongering Neocons. Most of the people here are either Gen X.
