Which funnily enough, is kind of what Passage is trying to get to.
There's a bit more to the game than that.
Once you start exploring up and down, you get some nuance. There's also a thing about ... |

If you can say without using spoilers, where are you in the game, Hospital Zone?

the great thing about mother 3 is that strategy and timing will always allow you to compensate for lack of experience levels.
I'm playing though Mother 3 too, and because I can't understand a lic ... |

I'm afraid not - his character design was completely redone, and he's pretty much unrecognizable in-game.
