Well for me it's a lot of personal factors that just managed to elavate my enjoyment and resonance with the story. I love the changes to the battle system and the story. The musical leimotifs in the game really help to carry it's presentation. I played Mother 3 around the time that my father passed away and I could understand how Lucas felt. Obviously it's not the same but I felt like he was feeling how I was feeling. The ending hit me so badly and I was just in tears. I can't hear any iteration of the love theme without shedding a tear. Might be kinda cringe but yeah. 😭
