itoi probably wanted to leave what happens afterwards up to the player's imagination or something

pretty sure it's just showing you that since Lucas was the one to awaken the dragon everyone turned out alright. either everyone was revived or they passed on to the afterlife, but either way they're happy.
--- 634339773
This game would have benefitted greatly from something like DQ's party chat, I feel like your party members talk way less than other games' do 
Maybe that's on purpose though, I dunno
--- 634340173

what would they talk about?
do you think Kumatora ever teased Lucas about him staring at her butt? haha just wondering

--- 634342690
>>634335545 (OP)
I already knew the ending way before so it didn't make me cry (if I didn't I would've sobbed though). Bon Voyage Amigo really got me too.

I agree with anon, the narration it was just too melodramatic and over the top for me to cry at. This is seriously a case where less would have been much more. Would have been better if it were more visual.

to be fair he had terrible parents who hit him (his mom doesn't even care he dissapears by the end) and was corruped by an alien god creature
--- 634348168
>>634338942
Lucas created a reality where he and everyone he loved could simply be happy. Itoi was never shy about leaving things up to interpretation as well. Whatever that reality is is up to the player. But you know that everything is okay, even if the game doesn't show you.

Kumatora is for Duster and even the game's official artist supports this by always having them next to each other in the art he makes

how old is duster menat to be anyway? I always imagined like early thirties. He looks like it.
Wess (who i guess is (probably) not his real father anyway, but lets just say he is) is an old man so Duster cant be that young

The counterpoint is that they also produced Picky with their terrible upbringing, who's a good kid in spite of it all (and also actually tries to help in fights unlike Porky)
>>634339773
>I feel like your party members talk way less than other games' do 
This is actually pretty bad in the entire series, Paula/Jeff/Poo and Ana/Loid/Teddy cease to exist as soon as they're following behind Ness and Ninten, and with Lucas they allude to Lucas actually being fairly chatty when he's actually out and about but whoever's first in line is silent for player purposes (ie. Flint speaking from a cutscene in Duster's PoV, and he doesn't speak while actually playing as Flint at the time), and that's compounded with Kumatora/Duster/Boney ceasing to exist for 99% of the game after joining Lucas permanently

>Claus... Claus... Claus... Come to your mother. You must be so exhausted. Come here, Claus.
ive replayed mother 3 about 2 or 3 times and that line always fucking destroys me in the end no matter what
--- 634354431
>>634352637
I think its better in Mother 3 cause there are a lot of cutscenes and stuff where Kumatora and Duster and even boney have dialogue when they are with your party. But Earthbound is terrible about it none of the party have no personality or dialogue past their introduction.

--- 634357047
>>634335545 (OP)
Ending of Mother 3 honestly piss me off (in a good way). Flint spent all of that time looking for his son just for the son to commit suicide. I was extremely pissed off at the selfishness of Claus.
--- 634357052
Mother 3 is seen as the weakest in the trilogy over in Japan, and the open ending is stupid. If you can't write an ending maybe you shouldn't be making anything at all.
--- 634358297
>>634335545 (OP)
I cried at the staff roll credits, just at the moment the masked man took his helmet off and Claus started greeting his family.
--- 634358792
>>634357047
I always assumed he was scared of the brainwashing coming back so he just decided to die
--- 634359576
>>634358792
Likely the case but can't help but feel for Flint.
--- 634359753
>>634359576
Flint is a complete asshole who basically abandoned Lucas for years
--- 634359836
>>634358792
I personally thought it was because he was killed by the Mecha-drago, and Porky then had his corpse turned into a chimera for his own purposes. Once Lucas got through to what was left of him, Claus wanted to kill himself so he could pass on and be with Hinawa, rather than being stuck as what's essentially a reanimated corpse.

If I'm remembering correctly, Claus lacks a heartbeart, unlike the majority of other enemies.
--- 634360167
>>634335545 (OP)
I've always found Mother 3 to be more precocious than anything, it makes a lot of its points very poorly and I personally don't find that it justifies its use of the characters mental health for emotional drum rolls the way it does, chapter 6 in particular is probably a low point for the series as a whole under scrutiny, as beloved as it is.
It's just not that great of a game and pretty much empty outside of Lucas' family with half of them under developed before they're killed off.
