your hometown, is taken over by an invading army and people are forced to do what they say, if they dont their house gets struck by lightning from this bigass tower. (the tower of love and peace)
your mother is killed by a chimera (which are docile animals the army turned into killing robots) and your twin brother is assumed dead for the vast majority of the game, but is actually brainwashed to fight against you from the ruler of said army

Because it's for KIDS.
I was kinda taken aback when

The wife turned out to be dead. Well, I knew she was gonna die, but I expected something like, you fight a boss and then find her lying down on the ground, and later the nurse tells you she's sorry and there's nothing they can do.
I didn't expect:
"I have good news and bad news. Good news is, I found a Huge Drago Fang! You can use it as an awesome weapon! The bad news is, I found it sticking in your wife's heart. Sorry." (seriously, that's almost exactly what he says)
That and Flint's subsequent emotional breakdown where he beats up the helpful townspeople with a stick.
EDIT: Holy SHIT.

"About the fang that was sticking in [your wife]'s chest. ... Come by my house later and get it."
WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE
Mother 3, Duster, Flint, Salsa >>>>>>> Earthbound and the shitty Mother 3 characters like Lucas
The bastard Pig Army! They've done their worst and turned Tazmily into a nightmare... a copy of the town from Earthbound, the shitty game.

I liked the part where the old man is talking about the girls taking care of him, and one walks in and says, "We call that sexual harassment these days."
Too true, these modern times get men down. :'(

"Dance for me" *zap*

"beat up that boss" *zap*
"lol" *zap*

I PURPOSEFULLY did stuff wrong just to piss him off. What a douche. I don't care if he zapped me, I'M A GODDAMN DANCING MONKEY.
Also, I think I know why Nintendo didn't localize this.

The party eats hallucinogenic shrooms and goes into a terrifying trek through a jungle filled with your subconscious terrors and emotional scars.
Not pictured:
"Inside the mailbox is nothing. Tons of black nothingness, swarming out."
"Someone is inside the mailbox! Only it's you, looking out at yourself."
"The mailbox is filled with the sound of thousands of screams."

Especially the scene with the crib, where Hinawa and Flint talk about how Claus and Lucas will help each other grow and do things together, and how they'll make their parents proud by being kind...
It's really upsetting because it's a normal and loving family being utterly torn apart by... what? A game toying with people's lives. A game by some little fat shit who doesn't know any better, and who's doomed himself to spend eternity in absolute isolation. Their lives ripped to shreds by a bunch of nonsense and bullshit.
