'While I agree that Earthbound is the happiest of the series, the ending of Mother is you singing the lullaby your grandmother sang to Gygis as a baby. You beat him by reminding him how much he loved his mother and he cant stand to keep hurting anyone because of that. Hell, the only truly sad part of Earthbound is the knowledge that his race took him and put him in a machine to drive him so insane that that would never work again.
Meanwhile, the story of Mother 3 is about the loss of family. Sure, you can create a found family, but the pain of losing your family will always be there. Then the game makes you mercy kill your brother, Porky gets away with everything (at the cost of eternal solitude), and you end the world with the last words being a shrug ispf what you did was the right thing.

But the REAL answer is that these games were made by the Bing Bing Wahoo Company; they typically don't make games that have emotional cores to them. Its like if Watership Down released by Disney.';

Mother 1 had acceptable graphics for it's time, better than the majority of dq clones and even better overworld graphics than all nes DQs

Cause spritework isn't as easy as people think.
It's not as hard as people think either, it's such a simple technique when you consider that it's just grid-painting with colours that never run and never cross the grid.
But it has its technicalities and its tricks and its rules and if you don't learn them, it looks like dogshit.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, for example, treated it pretty much like just drawing in paint. And that might be ok if you're a good artist, which the creator of JatPM is not, even if some of the things in the game are pretty cool.
It might be ok if you're going for a stylistic choice. But he was just going for Sprites and drawings do not translate into sprites 1 to 1.

Blending colours and shadows in spritework uses a technique that's like fragmenting the colours into increasingly separate dots. Proportions are very important in spritework, to keep it from looking messy as fuck. And with Mother-style sprites, it very much relies on what isn't there as well as what is. You gotta make sure the things you draw allude to what you couldn't draw due to limitations.
Draw too much and it's gonna look messy and incomprehensible.';

'>>3453291
>Mother 1 had acceptable graphics for it's time, better than the majority of dq clones
Acceptable for the genre was still pretty shitty. Dragonquest and it's children were not graphicly impressive games because that wasn't much of a concern for the genre.
>even better overworld graphics than all nes DQs
hard disagree.

>had great overworld graphics
No Chronotrigger had great overworld graphics. M2 had acceptable graphics but there was a charm in it styling. They were by no mean impressive.';

'>>3454179
>hard disagree
How? It's like Enix never bothered to improve the graphics after 2, compare dq4 to any other nes jrpg, Ultima IV, double moon, chaos world or any square jrpg have better graphics and Earthbound 1 has better graphics than those

I like DQ but the nes games are pretty damn ugly even for the time, the only nes rpg I think it's uglier than them is Ultima 3';
