I especially liked the one about how the Ocarina tunes use their very limited number of notes to express references to many different kinds of music.<br /><br />Mother 3's music integration with the battle system is pretty cool, definitely. I also think you'd both be into the themes of the game; where Earthbound is about childhood and the power of friendship, Mother 3 is about family and the power of social movements. It also resolves some of the plot threads from the end of Earthbound.David Simonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-47106436274969773112015-05-17T11:23:00.586-07:002015-05-17T11:23:00.586-07:00Glad you're enjoying it!
