Mother 3/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Boney and Duster are virtually superfluous and most players will end up using them simply for bashing the enemy. Duster's status moves are useful on occasion but not overly so.

* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: This is considered the closest video games came to literature (though ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' and ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' are mentioned pretty often when the question comes up).

* [[The Woobie]]: Lucas. At the start of the game, he's pretty shy and quiet, already making him a bit of a woobie. But then, {{spoiler|his mother is killed by a half-mechanical Drago that was ''acting against its own will'', and then his brother Claus goes missing trying to avenge her. His father goes nearly insane with grief, trying to find Claus every single day for ''three years''. [[It Got Worse|But that's not it]]. After three years, the hometown he loved has now been developed into a modern city, and eventually is completely abandoned. Then, after learning that everything he knew about his beloved hometown is a lie, he learns that the mysterious Pigmask commander is Claus, who is now a [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] cyborg. Cue an [[Tear Jerker|incredibly tragic]] [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]], which ends with Claus [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dying in Lucas' arms]], [[Dying as Yourself|after returning to his senses]]}}.

** Poor little Salsa. First, his girlfriend gets kidnapped by the Pigmasks, and they threaten to kill her if he doesn't go along with their plan. Then, he gets stuck with Fassad, an unrepentant [[Jerkass]] who insults, starves, and [[Electric Torture|shocks]] him at every opportunity, ''even when Salsa does what Fassad told him to'', all throughout Chapter 3. {{spoiler|Thankfully, Salsa eventually [[Took a Level in Badass|takes a level in badass]], while nearly all of Fassad's future appearances end with him getting maimed}}.
