Ruined suspension of disbelief during a final boss due to an item should be a video game TVTrope In this same game there's a Yo-yo you can 'use' in combat to make the opponent applaud, it works on every enemy and boss, including this final Masked Man. You got Earthbound, where you can sprinkle delisauce onto brain food lunch and chow down on a tray like it's school lunchtime while Giygas screams you down, honorable mention for Mother 1+2 GBA where you can throw a snake at them and they fall over, not intended but worth mentioning. You got Star Ocean 2 off the top of my head because I beat it yesterday, final boss there crumbles to stunlock from a Magic Rock, I don't even gotta explain that one, it just sounds hilarious.
"Lucas remembered Claus's smell" is so subtle yet such a powerful emotional gut punch. i think everyone with a sibling felt that one. incredible writing
That's just it. I imagine so many aspects of it, not the least of which, servos forcibly moving your limbs where you don't want them to go, working without sleep, pain through all the operations which I doubt were very moral, on top of being forcibly split from family and having your mind manipulated towards a pure evil that makes you so enraged because all you'd want to do is fight that evil. I imagine it was mostly the servos still holding Claus up at this time, still forcing him, to that final point where he had one glimpse of an independent thought, and with the last real strength he had in his arm, shot a shot he knew would backfire. That final flop into bed after ultimate fatigue, it's good that he hit it right.
7:26 fun(?) fact, you can actually attack him now to avenge Flint, so you can still get the 16-hit combo or hit him back with Love Omega, but Hinawa will eventually ask you to stop
I never knew this. Cool stuff. I imagine Claus has a non-value HP similar to Giygas from Earthbound which showed damage to them as well but ultimately it means nothing.
Every time if you backtrack to the village, 90% of the villagers have new dialogue in every single fucking chapter. Even if you’re as far as the thunder tower or all the way at the club titibo, the game and emotions and music are something that took time and love to make, something that’s never hit me like this before. Please, encourage more people to play this game
Spoilers i guess? That's one of my favorite details of the game, how the whole thing about them moving to NPC is foreshadowed really early if you talk to them, why it explains why Fuel and his father are in the group of characters that show up before Porky reveals himself, or even as early as the first chapters where you can find butch making a deal with Fassad. But my favorite one is the one that slightly hints at the whole White ship backstory, with the blonde girl with the ponytail, i think her name is Nan? at one point in the story she can be found in the village square, and she's pondering why none of the villagers look alike, despite some of them being families and relatives of each other.
this is my favorite game of all time, and it’s the first game to make me not just cry, but weep. i can’t watch the final battle when the flashbacks show up without choking up.
This is why i consider Mother 3 a piece of art, and my favorite game of all time, nothing has made me feel as much raw emotion as this game, ever i always tear up with chapter 6 and cry with this final fight... man... i couldn't live without my brother... the line that always hit me the hardest is always "Claus... Claus... Claus... Come to your mother. You must be so exhausted. Come here, Claus.", first time i read that i felt a chill down my spine, there's so much power behind those lines thanks for documenting this, and sharing your emotions 💛 Also, i'm not sure if you're aware but there's a game heavily inspired by the mother series, at first it was a fan game simply tittled Mother 4, but then they removed anything related to the mother series so nintendo couldn't take the project down like they've done with countless other fan game, nowadays it's called "Oddity" and so far we've only gotten one trailer, looks amazing so far (well it already looked amazing 7 years ago when it was still mother 4, there's the running joke of "coming winter 2014" yeah this game's been in development for like 12 years now haha, but i still got hope in the team behind it)
no 3D graphics, no animations, but ... that speed of text, that music and context, thrilled me and make me cry more than any other title that spends hours on cut scene animations. i love mother 3
My reaction was the same the first time, even worse, by the end I couldn't even see through my tears and sobbing. Mother 3 became my favorite game of all time in that moment.
Man I just found this and I just wanted to let you know it has such a similar impact every time you play. Played MOTHER 3 around six times, and the ending always makes me cry. I wish I could've seen this live, but i'm glad you found it. This game is amazing
I know nothing about you. But you definitely felt what everyone else could feel with the game. The Mother series it's not a videogame, it's an adventure, a journey! also good job with this last fragment with the game, you took the last clash like a pro. 👍🏻
Other games when you beat them: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU SAVED THE WORLD! MOTHER 3 when you beat it: CONGRATULATIONS! NOW YOU GET TO WITNESS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD!
Best game ever, so few games make me legitimately cry but this one really does make me so sad. I wish they kept the unused content for the final battle. Great video 😢❤️
Its amazing how no matter who you are this masterpiece can bring you to your knees. This games storytelling is heavy and perfectly written. Its even more powerful when you name the characters in the game as your own family and friends.
I came to mother 3 because Lucas in smash …. And I k we this game was about to make me get the feels from the begging when hinawa died. Then Claud died . I knew it would be a roller coaster . And I loved the game . And I love Lucas !!
can anyone tell me where to download mother 3? i've been searching for years and still couldnt manage to get a tutorial i mean, with an english dub too
hi! if you have discord i can help you out with getting the latest version of the english translation of mother 3 :) as long as you can install a gba emulator
This is the first time that I see a man crying in a Mother 3 gameplay :') BTW, did you walk in "The end?" screen? You will read some lines of the characters and will watch the credits
I did! I almost missed it before I ended the broadcast when someone pointed it out! I just cut it from this highlight since it was already at a half hour haha
I don't I've seen a single person not weep at the ending of this game. This game delivers a near fatal precision strike to the emotional core of one's being. Some of the best narrative writing ever conceived
@@dsc-nr5zy iwata didnt touch mother 3, you can see from the itoi interviews about it. He was already a very high executive figure within nintendo and couldnt bother with a "small game" like mother 3 was aften dozens of issues during development. He did work on mother 2 tho
Lucas: *casually swallows giant burger whole mid-battle while crying his eyes out*
Stress eating

@@KnownAsKenji honnestly Earthbound/Mother has a pass since it's always mixes tone with goofy stuff like this
"You must be so exhausted" always hits me so hard
Me too, and Shigesato Itoi too

This is what makes this game art, the way it rides the waves of emotion, never have I had a game impact me the way this did. It's incredible!
absolutely agreed, some real powerful storytelling that just hit me on a whole other level.
You both gotta play Omori, for real
Omori gets the same kind of feelings at its end. It's basicly next gen Mother and its story is as good as the Mother game.
7:26 fun(?) fact, you can actually attack him now to avenge Flint, so you can still get the 16-hit combo or hit him back with Love Omega, but Hinawa will eventually ask you to stop
I have always loved that detail
I never knew this. Cool stuff. I imagine Claus has a non-value HP similar to Giygas from Earthbound which showed damage to them as well but ultimately it means nothing.
I did this by accident on my first playthrough, because I myself was mad at him for attacking Flint. I was surprised when it worked 😅

yeah
Man this final boss fight gets me every time, always gets me so emotional.
The part where Flint jumps in to block the Love Omega attack only to get brutally beaten down again always tears me up.
Very true, Karkat

A game has a soul when it can make you feel every emotion
There's a reason why this game's motto was No Crying Until The End. This game absolutely dedtroys you from start to finish.
No it wasn’t
@@danielsebald5639an ad for earthbound says to not cry until the end. So yes it is like a motto.
MOTHER 3’s tagline was “Strange. Funny. Heartrending.”
@@danielsebald5639 cool but everyone simultaneously agrees no crying until the end of the main motto of the mother series
This is why i consider Mother 3 a piece of art, and my favorite game of all time, nothing has made me feel as much raw emotion as this game, ever

yep
Don’t know what they put in this game to make so many ppl cry but it sure as fuck is working and im here for it
They implanted a digital onion into every copy… Every copy is Onionized
I swear it's some MKUltra-level shit... except it just makes you cry
thank you for not putting spoilers in your thumbnail u earned a like
what does it for me is before claus even says anything, the moment he could control himself and realized what he did, he killed himself.
He was too good a person to ask Lucas to do it for him.
"I feel like there's gonna be another phase where everyone gets revived and I'm just screwed."
nope
just PAIN
The raw emotion. The determination to beat the game. Thank you. You’re going to where legends are now. Being subscribed.
My reaction was the same the first time, even worse, by the end I couldn't even see through my tears and sobbing. Mother 3 became my favorite game of all time in that moment.
I've become addicted to watch streamers reaction to this final battle and cry with them.

LOL. so true!
Mother 3 is basically evangelion of JRPG.
So literally End of Evangelion lol

The game that made grown men cry.
yes
@@giygasthedevilalien5995 definitely it will break you
The flashbacks always get me.
YOU CAN USE THE FUCKING CUP OF LIFENOODLES TO REVIVE PARTY MEMBERS?!?
BULLSHIT GODDAMNIT I SOLD ALL MY LIFENOODLES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE GAME
It litterally says you can use it to cure incapacitation
Rip
Its in the description lol what the hell?
This game has had me crying since I before i finished it … i’m still crying 🫂
This game made me ugly cry bro I never ugly cry with games no matter how good the story is but this one this one brought me in
There is a very short list (like less than 10) of fictional stories which have made me cry, but Mother 3 was the first.
I just entered the video to see if you would cry 😅
hahah!
Bro cried as everyone did, mother 3 is the most emotional game of the mother's series
When the moon turns red, it means the spirit world is closer to ours.
Wish you kept in your reaction to the curtain call haha
can anyone tell me where to download mother 3? i've been searching for years and still couldnt manage to get a tutorial

Completely unrelated to anything on the video
@StarmenRock well, considering he produced the game with Miyamoto, I think it is related.

@@StarmenRock I think you should watch the game's credits again. He is the last person to be credited, right before you are (as a player).
@@dsc-nr5zy he's credited but he didnt make it, dog. Its you can find the interview on Mother Forever.
Man i'm crying
Made me cry too
The saddest scene in the mother franchise
You need a paper tissue, a shoulder pat or better: a hug?
This Is Very Sad.
i have never beat this game before crying
Dude...are you crying? If so that's okay, cause I've done that here countless times.
This Game Is So Sad :(
This is an so true reacion...
He said di at the end
"Your name is CLAWS" lmaoooo the name is pronounced Cl-ouse like mouse or house Claus not Claws lol
