About Me

edit

*pokes* Is this thing on? Oh. Hi. I'm Solatrus (Cogit Latinae. Think Latin, if you don't know the language). Anyway, Aertyr's been bugging me like mad to join this ridiculous place, so here I am.

A bit about me:
Obviously I'm a gamer, or else I'd probably have no interest here. My favorite game series is The Legend of Zelda, and I have played, beaten, and enjoyed (with the exception of Zelda 2... that one I didn't enjoy so much) every single one released here in the states. Yes, I play as Link and Toon Link in Brawl. Enough of that.

I also write electronic music, which is fun as hell. DON'T HATE. And before you ask, no, I don't do LSD, or Acid, or anything like that.

So I beat Mother 3 and... (No spoilers)
Solatrus \| 7:15 PM on 11.22.2008	14 comments

I was mildly disappointed in the final chapter, especially the final boss.

Took me long enough, eh? You'd think a Mother fan such as myself would at least learn that Japanese moonspeak so I could play the game back when it came out. Nope, I waited for the fan translation to be done. And I took forever to beat that.

The rest of the game was a blast, and more difficult than I was expecting.

I'll play it again, probably fairly soon after I beat Mother 1 and 2... again.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

That's awesome. I kind of gave up on the fan translation in chapter 5. I am the worst with RPG's, I am really vad for not finishing them.

Benefactor

Got to Chapter 2, and I already like it more than Mother 2. It just seems...more accessible.

ProperlyParanoid

Cool! Like Garison, i'm not too good with RPG's either, and I also gave up with the fan translation, even though it was extremely well done.
Anyway, congratulations on beating the game!

NotPigeon

I finished it a while back.
The final boss was kind of disappointing, I'll agree, but what really defined the ending was the sheer WTF-ness. You know what I mean.

garison

You guys should be jealous. I am the only one on Solatarus's friends list.

Solatrus

@Benefactor
Oh, I liked the early parts of the game quite a bit, but, eh, I guess I'm just one of those nostalgic fans of Mother 2.

@NotPigeon
Yeah. Very WTF?!

Aertyr

Real men play Uncle 7.

jackal27

For me, the game's been so good so far (chapter 7) that the last boss could be a lukewarm bowl of baby blood and I'd be totally satisfied.

Oh, and yes, I do think that it is the best Mother game so far.

F Whipple

I'll probably never finish the game. After my compy crashed I lost everything and don't feel like going back through it

zoitspider

I am just about on chapter 8 myself and I am absolutely in love with this game. I have never played any Mother games in my life and now I am definitely going to have to play the other ones now.

eternalplayer2345

I hated the final boss because it was too anticlimatic but the story ended really well.

Solatrus

I was actually disappointed with the final boss merely because it was hilariously easy... for me, anyway.

Buff up your party, nerf the enemy, throw up shields/counters, you're good to go.

Tristero

Near the end of Chapter 7. I'm crazy about this game. I think it's easily as good if not better than Mother 2. I've played/replayed the whole series back to back this year, so it's cool getting to see the series evolve in fast-forward.
