What if a game made you miss things you never even had, but you can feel their absence and want that back.
Mother 3 evokes a sense of nostalgia and need for ideas of simplicity, but it doesn't point and say "look! we should go back to that!" it's an acknowledgement of the loss, and saying "it's okay to miss it and desire it, but you also have to grow around what is required of you."
