  • this beats Aerith's death anyday, this one has more emotion.

  • pure sadness...

    

  • I like to think that disliking this scene is another way of announcing that you have no soul.

  • seriously though thanks for uploadin this

  • easily one of the best most heart breaking scenes ever in a video game

  • Bronson is such a d**k.

    Hey Guess what, I found this really amazingly rare drago fang! It'll make an awesome weapon! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I found it in your wife's dead body. Oops

    Then later he continues to be a douchbag by telling Flint he was the 1st person to be thrown in that jail. Yep, way to console someone

  • look up top ten saddest video game momemts....this was number 1

  • first appearance of the love theme... this theme appears more and gets more emotional every time

  • Just read through the comments and saw a MOTHER fan trolling on how awful another game is compared to MOTHER.

    OK. Honestly, say what you like about other games. But remember to set the limits. Unfortunately he/she got all raging and just started with an argument with someone. Also, the other one was wrong to write those comments.

    Overall, I was disappointed by both as a MOTHER fan.

  • :,(

  • Come on, I can't be the only one who kinda chuckled when he started beating people up, and he got knocked out... xD

  • Anyone else notice Fuel is smiling at the sight of the whole thing?

  • This scene was sad. It was a much more human response to a death rather than Aries' death, which I laughed my ass off at.

    -flame shield on-

    -BFG10K ammo maximized-

  • @TheAirShooter

    Agreed.

    Cloud may have been sad over Aeris's death, but flint here was devastated. Cloud was like "Oh no, my girlfriend is dead lets kill sepheroth out of rage LOL" Flint probably couldn't even process this news. His mind was filled with sorrow and rage, loosing the mother of his children and his own beloved.

  • @WalterREBoRN I agree with this guy for agreeing with another guy!

  • Oh my god! they kill Hinawa! You bastard!

  • A commenter pointed out that the song ("Confusion") that plays when Flint learns of Hinawa's death starts with something that sounds like a game over theme, and that's fitting. ;-;

  • This scene

    IS FREAKIN SAD!

    WHY MUST THEIR MOTHER DIE?!

    WHY!!!!?????

    ...Yes I know it's a video game

  • oh yeah I found this cool drago fang it will make a great weapon......opps the bad news about this fang is where I found it......you see it was kinda in your wifes heart but no bigge I mean we will miss her but this fang is SUPER RARE think of all the fun we will have

  • -.- goddamn that "theme of love". They play it often enough and at the right times that later on when you hear it for the last time... the song alone is enough to make you depressed...

  • thumbs up if you never played this game and cried

  • Comment removed

  • umadbro?

  • If i was in the game, i would help Flint and stab Bronson here that's sad to hear about Hinawa being killed by a fang that could be powerful.

  • Was just summing up what he just said

  • Ouch.

    Good news: this tusk will make a great lance

    Bad news: some retard killed your wife with it

  • @Lapran3 ... what is this i don't even...

  • Being Lucas or Claus I would've cried so much that i could barely see

  • @LozoRozoDX They had been there when their mom died. They were heading home, and on their way home, they were ambushed by a Drago that had been altered to be a cyborg that wanted to kill things. Hinawa guarded the kids, and they watched her get mauled by the Drago

  • Bronson is a fucking terrible friend. Imagine what would happen if you found out your best friend's mom was murdered, and went up to tell them "Good news, the bullet is extremely valuable and will sell for a high price!"

  • out of all the sad scenes in game history this one would be the saddest its just like moving away from your family that one sentence he had said had made be break up into tears because i knew how it felt. i showed it to my dad and he started staring off into space. and one more thing how can anyone enjoy this what if it was your mom?

  • There's no other game that can evoke as much emotion as Mother 3.

  • Flint's Reaction - WHAT THE BLODDY FUUUUUUUU- Player reaction- drops controller

  • @Ninten3275 drops GBA

    Fix'd

  • it was stabbed through your wife's heart. In real life that makes you drop the gameboy or controller and go WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

  • man i hate those pig masks....

  • Poor flint.. He loses his wife, one of his sons, his mind, and his doorknob..

  • @Chikunnism Poor doorknob... Uh, I mean, uh, FLINT. Yeah.

  • The only problem I have with this scene is even when Flint hears the news, the guy with the hat and kid with brown hair are STILL SMILING.

    That's just a minor nitpick though (and more due to technical limitations than anything else) in such an incredible scene.

  • the psychological damage that must be caused to lucas is just downright depressing

  • @YellowBastard33 dang....now I wanna beat up ppl on brawl as lucas just to ease his pain.:/

  • @YellowBastard33 i think its ten fold in flints

  • @Corruptedcaitlyn its called Confusion

  • No offense to all who are offended, but when Flint beat the shit outta everyone it made me laugh.

  • I'd strangle the daylights out of any guy who told me shocking news that way.

  • @MegaSpiderMan hey guy good news ive found this cool weapon bad news i found it in your wifes dead corpse

  • This scene made me bawl. DX

  • I knew just about every plot point of Mother 3 before I played it. Every part hit my heart like a hammer. Knowing how the plot pans out doesn't lessen the impact of such a great game. I'll play it again in a few months, and I know that it will be just as amazing as the first time.

  • If I was Gronon my message would have been this:

    "Bad News: Your wife got stabbed by a tooth

    "Good Knows: She left a suvenier for you when she died"

  • Omgosh. This game is so mysterious to me but has always intrigued me. It's far more intense than I thought but seriously he could have said that in a better way!!!

  • "Guess what? I found you a great weapon!"

    "NO WAY! :D Where'd ya get it?"

    "Oh, i found it peirced through your wife's heart"

  • bronsons feeling feverish at the beginning... hes about to learn be a fucking dick and break flints heart alpha!!!!!!

  • 1:06

  • Always look on the bright side of

    life, right? Nah. If Borat were to hear about his wife's death, he'd high five

    the messenger. But Flint is no Borat.

  • Out of all the Mother series: I think Lucas, one of the main characters went through the worst shit out off all the series , he's story is sadder than Ninten and Ness's story put together :'(

  • @stdejena Ness's dad may be a phone, but nothing, and I mean nothing, compares with watching your mother die before your eyes. D:

  • @Aldaraia666

    Not to mention the whole business with his brother throughout the game.

  • What's the soundtrack called when Flint gets the "news" about Hinawa? O_O

    Sad scene, I wouldn't know what to do if someone I cared so much about died..

  • There's another really sad scene at the end. It's so sad, you'll cry if you haven't seen it yet. I was crying the entire time.

  • I saw this in a lets play...and I STILL almost cried from this.

  • @zako2121 Was it chuggaaconroy's LP? : )

  • @playstation4evah you sir, are a troll. The graphics in Mother games were meant to be simplistic. That's part of the charm, not everything has to be graphically advanced to be good, you know. Also, everyone has their own opinion, meaning you are allowed to dislike this game, but you aren't given the right to call someone an "idiot" just because their opinion differs from yours.

  • @YoungAuthorAdam forget this troll. Just look at this guy's username: he's either a Playstation fantard, a sad, pathetic 13-year old or lower, or just a plain troll that writes crap all over the internet.

  • @playstation4evah Hey, troll, your comment stinks like monkey butts. You better wash it. Oh! You don't even wash yourself. Sorry to ask such a burdening task to you. Now, Mr. Troll, could you kindly do us all a favor and find a better taste in video games?

  • @playstation4evah DEY SEE ME TROLLAN

  • @playstation4evah Stfu troll, if you don't like this game then why did you waste your time commenting on this? Final Fantasy sucks elephant balls like you do. I hope you can never do a cool animation without any sprites you fucktard.

  • @playstation4evah Fuck U. Final Fantasy Is Gay. Mother is awsome! Fuck your mom bitch. You have no taste for video games "idiot". Go fuck a horse until it bleeds in your ass you gay fucking scrapy bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • @ert94464isback Well, im deeply sorry for what I said. Its just that what he said was more than a opinion. He said "Mother 3 is the worst game and it has shitty graphics and Final Fantasy is better". Ive never really played either of them. But, im planning on trying out Final Fantasy. Sorry. :)

  • @Fawful99 Well, I understand. Forgive me too, as I hadn't read the comment when I said that. It's perfectly fine to lash out at trolls like playstation4evah, but the Final Fantasy games are still pretty good, only the MOTHER games are WAY better.

  • @Fawful99 Woah Woah Woah, Final fantasy is not gay, Only the ones past 7, Final Fantasy and Mother are both awesome games, and neither have anything to do with homosexuality. >:[

  • @YoYoKirby1 Either include 8 and 9 or limit it to the games past 6.

  • @YoYoKirby1 Sorry about that. But that was a month ago. I have never played FF but im gonna try it out soon. :)

  • @Fawful99 Though I do admit, 10 and 8 were good.. although 10 was too linear.

  • @playstation4evah However, this is just stupid. Why did you watch and comment on this video in the first place? Oh yeah, cause you wanted attention and you got it. Happy?

  • @playstation4evah You are as soulless as Sephiroth. This game is more than comparable to FFVII. Original, sad scenes in RPGs were done in this fashion. HJaven't you played FFIV V and VI? You have no concept of good RPGs if all you are going to do is say that FFVII is the best. While I love FFVII, there are other RPGs that come to it's level, if not surpass it. This is one of them. So screw you and screw your mother's eye sockets.

  • @playstation4evah

    go suck a d*ck

  • @playstation4evah get da fuck outta here you dirty ass bad troll 5 stars for effort 0 for performance you may have been a good troll if you name didnt give you away

  • Everytime she walks into the light i cry...

  • Pokey=Porky. Giygas killed for nothing. Hinawa was killed by Reconstructed Drago.

    Claus wanted to avenge Hinawa and was brainwashed into the Masked Man. Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the Masked Man's lightning, which soon after killed him. This means that Pokey's actions killed 3 people and things for no reason at all. :'( F*CKING POKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ifarterd20 but at the end

    *SPOILERS*

    He end being trapped in his own capsule FOREVER...

    That's a very sad to porky too, being trapped forever with no escape on a capsule with no food, dying slowly

  • holy god he shoved that flaming 2x4 in Abbot's crotch aaaaaa

  • someone please smack me. I always didnt like mother. I tought it was just a cheap rpg. But when i saw these i knew that a lot of work went into it, ii was just so real like a real husband would react to his loves one death. Now i wish to play the mother series again with more respect. I just see the negatives im gonna get now.

  • i think lucas would be the most destressed... BUT CLAUS DIES ASWELLL! NOOOO

  • @Garchoritina AND HIS DAD IS BALD, THAT MEANS HE WILL BE BALD TOO D:

  • Is there a name for the song that plays at 1 :09?

  • @jawill12 It's called "Confusion". Hope that helps!

  • I think its extreemly cute when lucas is holding hands with hinawa

  • Pokey is extremely horrible in this game, worse than Sonic Underground's Robotnik.

  • I know this will make me sound like a big jerk,but I have seen so many people die in videogames it does'nt effect me.

  • poor flint

  • Very sad next kh 2 ending

  • I always cry when i play this game...

  • Saddest moment in video game history.

  • The first time I played this game I thought it was going to be a cheerful, entertaining game I could play with my 6 year old brother.

    To this day, I still can't play it with him without breaking into tears.

  • I SWEAR if I was there to hear that Flint's wife was killed by a tooth that could be a powerful weapon , I would have really punched Bronson there.

  • @PokeNaruBleach

    I agree.

    As much as I love this game. They REALLY should have rewritten that part.

  • @PokeNaruBleach Whats even worse is that I used the Tooth on Mecha Drago. (2nd version)

    He roared violently and I ended up losing 11 strength points... ಠ_ಠ

    Flint must be REALLY kind to stay Bronson's friend... considering how stupid he is... I also like how Bronson doesn't notice that Flint escaped the prison... When he OWNS it...

  • @supermantahoo

    actually, the drago tooth is required to kill the mecha drago, if you don't use it, all your attacks do one damage. which is why claus lost the first time

  • dude when flint was beating everyone with a stick i fell down laughing

  • me too when i was playing the actuall game

  • I think what Dr. Elefun in the Astro Boy movie says just about sums this up:

    "If you lose somebody like that, and you don't go mad, you're not human."

  • I thought it was sad when Flint just backed up and got on his hands and knees and started punching the floor.

  • Mother 1 = More dark.

    Mother 2 = More quirky.

    Mother 3 = Sad.

  • Flint was kicking ass for a minute ago.

  • This scene made me sad, and that takes a lot. My older sister, who cries at every movie with a moving scene, would be bawling for days if she saw this.

  • Duster: WENCANIGOBAKTOSLEEP

  • oohhh...*Cries* poor lucas and claus....*Sniff*

  • i read somewhere that bronson's lack of tact stems from the fact that the people of tazmily don't know of tragedy, thus they don't know how to act around it. that is why he is as blunt as he is. i think this is referenced elsewhere in the game too. interesting point, i think.

    the animation in this scene (the whole game, actually) is incredible.

  • this is so sad... that line "it was pierced through your wife's heart" is ripping inside me like a knife...

  • "I have some good news and some bad news."

    FUCK BRONSON!

    Why the hell did flint not hit him?

  • He was about to, but then he got conked by a giant piece of lumber.

  • @masterj1129 Cause Bronson is the sheriff from the Tazmily Village, and that would be hard to hit a sheriff.

  • holy crap im emotionless...

    i feel ashamed not to cry at something like this after reading everybody elses comments.....D:>

    i think it's brawls fault...

    otherwise ive seen so much game deaths that i just don't flinch....

  • most moving scene from one of the best rpgs in existence

  • god im glad im downloading this right now so DEEP

  • Good God, shame on Nintendo for not bringing this masterpiece to America....

  • Blame it on American capitalism. EarthBound flopped in North America, so Nintendo of America skipped on bringing its sequel here.

  • I think it's about copyright and those Pigsmaks. I mean, they make a parody of Nazi o.O

    But did EarthBoundr eally flopped in North America?

  • GenerationNS: You should work on your typing. And yes, EarthBound flopped in North America despite being a cult classic. I'm fortunate enough just to have a sequel to Earthbound after waiting 11 years.

  • Actually, its true. (thumbs up) Bad American advertising made Earthbound flop. The slogan for EB in the US was "This game stinks" which was meant to imply it had "smelly jokes" suck as Master Belch and other potty humor jokes. In Japan the slogan was something like "A game you, your mother and even grandfather can enjoy"

    Terrible ad campaign. I bought the original EB in the huge box with the strategy guide though. EB is one of my favorite games of all time.

  • RocmanRaz: I played the game back when it came out in 1995 and then received it for Christmas later that year. I still have the game as well as the strategy guide, but I no longer have the box.

  • such*

  • saddest game ever :(

  • i can't belive this game was rated E im crying :'(

  • Wow, heres earthbound with all thesejokey references and stuff.

    Then theres mother 3, where flints reaction could happen in real life.

    Bravo, HAL. Bravo.

  • A very sad and dramatic scene, very unexpected and unbelievable when I first read it and didn't think the game was serious, but when I realized someone seriously died, it was a real shocker.

    Having played Earthbound, which is a lot more innocently comical and light-hearted, I never thought I'd see this kind of scene in a sequel. But now I realize this is what sets the stage for the plot of the game.

    I really wish you came up with a different title though. You could've called it "Hinawa's Fate"

  • ... i dont care who you are but this is always a tear jeerker...

    i cant help but shed a tear everytime...

  • "it was pierced through your wifes heart" that line cut through me like a knife

  • i'm sure that line would pierce any player's heart as well.

  • Comment removed

  • I wished that Flint would smack the shit out of Bronson.

    The way he told Flint her death was just brutal.

    "Hey, Flint! I found this tooth that'll make a great weapon."

    "Hmm..where did you find it?"

    "It was in your wifes heart."

  • thats just to make it more dramatic. if youve played the game without knowing hinawa dies ahead of time, its really stunning, and just how it all happens at once and how sad music starts to play, its enough to make you cry.

  • Hell, even if you know Hinawa dies, the scene is so well done that it'll stir something in your gut. The drama here is extremely palpable; it feels raw and real enough to make the artificial woes of two-dimensional sprites move you.

    This, among many other reasons, is why I can safely say that Mother is one of the best game series on the planet, despite never having played the games and thriving off of spoilers.

  • @VenomousWoe i know exactly how u feel. I myself only has Eathbound. For 12 years i've had it, and still im only in Magicant, with all 5 courage bird men dead. I'm kinda screwed over in that game, and im having thoughts about if i'll ever beat it. I'm sorry about my long-winded paragraph, but one thing leads to another, eh?

  • @VenomousWoe

    EMULATORS, GET THEM.

  • @VenomousWoe me to but the alien guy and the boss of mother 1 and 2 are so weird they are bad.

  • @VenomousWoe I'd take this series over CoD anyday.....I'd rather have my heart touched then have a bullet sot through it :/

  • @Dojack LOL, actually, I did the same thing to my sister, I told her out paps died...straight up. There is no easy way to say someone you love died. Sometimes, you just have to say it.

  • @Dojack I'm trying hard not to laugh

  • 3:04 - Does Lucas actually have a smile on his face?

  • That's the most brutal line I've ever heard in a video game.

    "I found this Drago fang! I thought you could use it! The bad news is that it was pierced in your wife's heart."

    When I read that as I was playing I practically shit myself it was so unexpected.

  • Shigesato Itoi wanted to make the situation very tense, somewhat lighten it but also make it dark at the same time. That is why he did the dialogue the way he did. I played thru this in raw japanses reading a translation the first time...so I didn't grasp it all at first, but once I caught up in the dialogue I was like...OMFG...and shed a tear.

  • Most powerful scene ever in a video game. Its as if you are Flint right there.

  • ya know what i think Motavians right. If Hinawa never died they woud have just fleed from Porky and his army instead of avenging her dead mother and fighting against them

  • poor lucas an claus, they had to see how flint reacted to the bad notice? O-oU

  • One of the reasons why I think this 'death' is one of the most effective as far as eliciting an actual emotional response in a video game is the extremely sneaky and counter intuitive way that it is done, namely right at the beginning. Reading some of these comments I think some people fail to realize that Hinawa's end actually permeates and informs the growth of the characters, namely their directions (or in Flints case, lack thereof). And it hits close to home because of how real it is.

  • Aeris' death is NOTHING compared to Hinawa's. Hell, Alys death in Phantasy Star 4 was better.

    This is the 2nd death in a game that made me cry. Because of Hinawa's death Lucas become stronger. He becomes even stronger than his father ever was. As you play through, you see lost Flint becomes because of Hinawa's death, until the very end @ the last battle.

  • I don't think it was just Hinawa's death that pushed him over the edge. I think he could've recovered from that one, but what really pushed him was losing Claus so soon after losing his wife. Just the fact that he knew Hinawa was dead was atleast reassuring. He never knew what happened to Claus, and just the small, small chance that he could be okay is probably what tore him up from the inside.

  • I'll bet if he knew exactly what happened to Claus that the game would be alot more about Flint then Claus. Because all Flint wanted to do was find Claus, but Lucas had to save the whole world. If Flint knew joining Lucas's team meant saving the world AND finding Claus, then the game would be alot different, and easier considering Boney would probably be replaced by Flint.

  • I mean more about Flint then Lucas, not Claus.

  • @RocmanRaz i think the same (thing you said about flint) could also be said for Claus

  • @sayastra Yeah true. Claus' was more tragic because not only did he die, but Porky had the nerve to take his corpse and turn him into a "Chimera" super soldier. The final dialogue where Hinawa comes to the boys when they are fighting (or lack of fighting in Lucas' case) and says "You must be tired" shows the true tragedy of the brothers.

  • @RocmanRaz yeah, hinawa's death had a drastic and devastating ripple effect-

    worst part of Earthbound [mother2] was that they wouldn't let me deficate on porky's bed.

  • @RocmanRaz Aeris/Aerith's death was a way of saying they're dead but not gone. The ohter 1s were more sad than important 2 the plot

  • This is the saddest video game scene i've seen, ever.

  • I played the ENGLISH TRANSLATION. For somereason some of the text seems like it shouldn't be in a Nintendo game...

    PS: I friggen hate PIGMASKS.....

  • NoA did a lot of censoring in EarthBound. In Mother 2, there was a lot of talk of death and religion.

  • Take your final fantasy fanboy bs somewhere else.

  • Not just FF Fanboyism, FF7 Fanboyism.

    This > FF7 anyhoo

  • Gosh, I want to play this but it was released only in Japan... I've heard you can get ROMs for it... but what do you need to get it?

  • My sister got this game, and she cried at this scene. Wow, HAL Lab. really made one heck of an RPG.

  • wat?

  • LOL, Flint gone Flippy!
