It feels like children have been thrust into shoes too big for them. I'm not talking about the heroes of the games, I'm talking about the naivete of all the characters (something accounted for in Mother 3, but still present in the first 2) and the way in which characters approach the world in such a black and white manner.<br /><br />I love the (self-professed) worldly wise (wo)man juxtaposed against the eternally perplexed, Lucy/Charlie Brown relationship. I think the same is present when the player becomes the protagonist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369840743930007954noreply@blogger.com
