Originally started [http://memoria.valice.net/?p=77 here], and updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but it appears to have stopped updating in 2011. Since then artwork for the comic appears to have disappeared from the site; and unfortunately the [[Wayback Machine]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20141015000000*/http://memoria.valice.net/chapters archive for it] seems not to have stored most or any of the artwork either.

"Memoria is an adventure comic that takes place in a world similar to our own, and follows four friends as they try to both protect and learn the truth about it, all while going after a loved one."

Memoria website

An undisclosed amount of time after Mother 3's rather ambiguous ending, we have Memoria.

Memoria has a new chosen four go on a grand adventure, intially starting as a Brother-Sister Team that leave their hometown to look for their missing brother, meeting familiar and unfamiliar characters to the Mother fandom as their quest progresses; discovering new truths about the mysterious world they live in.

As the name suggests, this comic has a strong link to memories.

"There is power in your memories. Look deeply through your past, but reserve recalling your best times for moments when you really need to. Every time you relive a memory, the chemicals in your brain change how your mind perceives it. Eventually, your most precious moments may become a blur of truth and falsehoods. Memoria is a story about memory. There are few things more important."
Gekko, the series' writer.

The ultimate truth, according the the creators, will be difficult to comprehend but will explain why it is the way it is and promises to bring together the elements of all three Mother games.

Previous webcomics by the same creators, Gekko and Meedee, include Harmony, The White Ship, and the side comic, SMOTHER.

Originally started here, and updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but it appears to have stopped updating in 2011. Since then artwork for the comic appears to have disappeared from the site; and unfortunately the Wayback Machine archive for it seems not to have stored most or any of the artwork either.

If you were looking for the MSPA Forum Adventure, go here.


Tropes used in Memoria (2010 webcomic) include:

Cazula: And what do you know 'bout the Dark Dragon?
Lucas: ...I awakened it. The real one. Not this thing you're worshipping. I was the one that brought it into this world.

"I hope it's not some guy in a costume..."
"...again..."
