Don't be sorry. I'll explain the reference below:

In MOTHER (aka EarthBound Zero/Beginnings, or the game I described above), our protagonist Ninten sets out to save the world from Giegue, who is invading to take back the secret of PSI (psionic power). However, Ninten doesn't have the power to defeat Giegue by mere force, nor does anyone in his party. So, the only way he can defeat Giegue is to find the Eight Melodies scattered across the lands.

We don't have nearly eight melodies (I only put up four in those hints), but we do have nearly eight hundred messages. Tee-hee.
