Something long lost... A Zero List!

[Zero]

So... Mother's day this weekend.

So... as a tribute to my Mom, easily the oldest woman I ever watched anime with (I kid you not, Mom loves some of this stuff), I present to you...

Zero's top three gaming Mothers!

Infiniti: Just three?

Do you know how many Moms make it into games nowadays? Most main characters are either orphans or their parents are never mentioned. Parents are just not very popular.

So... the best of the best!

3. Hero's Mom, Dragon Quest/Warrior 3

She didn't go out to battle with ya, but anytime I can go somewhere for a free trip to the inn and some caring words, that's my kind of hero's mamma.

2. Miranda, Yuki's Mom, Grandia 3

Not only is she one of the most kick ass single mothers you could ask for, she joins her son in the first part of the game as a frontline soldier. Not only that, she fights with daggers. Only the truly awesome fight with daggers.

1. Wife of choice(In my case, Nera), Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Whoa, where to start?

Okay, after getting hitched to wife of choice (You get three, I choose the blue haired beauty Nera), you begin to travel the world together. After she gets sick, she fends ingerance and keeps fighting. Later, you find out she's pregnent. One side quest later, note ONE side quest later, she's giving birth to twins. In one damned side quest. Apperantly, going to one cave was a nine-month journey.

Anywho, she gives birth to twins, and is instantly kidnapped, and is turned into a statue.

After you free her, guess what? She's back to the frontlines, and your whole family goes out to save the world. There's some family values right there!

Honorable mentions goes to Alex's Mom from Lunar, cause she was willing to knock Ghaleon over the head with a frying pan (I think she said that.)

Anyone else someone wants to add?

Later all, I got's hockey to watch.

Nice tribute. I have two more to add.

MAJOR spoilers for Lufia: Rise of the Sinistrals and Final Fantasy VIII.





Selan- After she and Maxim get married in the middle of the game, they start a family with a little son named Jeros. They find out that there are more Sinistrals that are threatening the world, and she insists on going along to save the world for her son. "How many mothers get to do that?" Sadly, she and Maxim both give their lives in the process.

Edea- Not technically a biological mother, she still has a number of reasons to be here. She served as the matron of an orphanage for a number of children. At the end, she accepted Ultimecia's powers so that none of the children would become a sorceress. She started up SeeD, knowing that it could cost her her life, so that her children and the world would be prepared to defeat a sorceress. Lastly, in Galbadia Garden, she gave her powers to the one female that she hadn't raised, keeping Selphie and Quistis safe from her own ordeal. (Sucks for Rinoa, but she wasn't at the orphanage.)

[Anon Mous]

I can think of a few more.

BOF 2 Ryu's mother- A big ass dragon who protected the village where her son lives.

Laherl's mother- The pink prinny. Looking out for her son even in "death."

Jude's Mother (Wild Arms 4)- She's super smart and raised her son well.

The Queen of the Cosmos- She's just cool.

Mother (Wild Arms)- . . . Okay maybe not.
