There
are very few scenes that drive me to tears. Games stir emotion
regularly in me, but true sadness has only come twice for me. These really are MASSIVE, GAME RUINING SPOILERS ahead. The games (Final Fantasy X and Valkyria Chronicles) have big moments ruined if you haven't played them. So grab your kleenex and read on if you'd like...
The
End (Final Fantasy X): This is one of the best 'sad scenes' I've experienced. I was so happy to have beaten the last boss,
resolved Tidus' daddy issues and saved Yuna from a cruel fate all at once. But
the fact that Tidus had to vanish as the “dreamers awoke” was too
much. I was stunned! I was shocked! And then, I cried. Yep, this scene makes me leaky. Seeing
Tidus start to vanish as Yuna runs through him, Yuna's confession of love and their hug as Yuna's tears fall. And Tidus running and leaping off
into the sky was too much. I cry every time I beat FF X, which is
usually once a year. It hasn't lost the emotional impact on me yet.
The ending cinematic for Final Fantasy X (duh, SPOILERS)
Death of a squadmate (Valkyria Chronicles): I figured someone would die out of the
named cast in VC (it's a war game after all), but I was unsure of who
and when. I wasn't ready at all when it. There were signs of the squad coming together and reaching that level of honor and respect we see in war movies. After finishing one tough mission, it started up the usual post-mission cinematic. Shortly after, I was wiping tears. It was heart wrenching to see Isara and Rosie reconcile right before
a single gunshot rang out. I wasn't really upset until the
funeral, and Rosie's song (Isara's last request). Hell, I'm welled
up right now as I had to find these two videos. Ugh...dammit...
The death scene (derp, SPOILERS)
The funeral scene (again with the big SPOILERS)
