the ending of crisis core.
and this one might be a little odd but.
when i saw ansem/xehanort in kh2 and thought that he had come back only to find out it was riku instead. i was in such dispear i hadn't even noticed that xemnas was xehanort/ansem till i did my second playthrough.

xemnas thus bacame top fav to soften the blow.

xemnas: i'm not your crutch, girl.
yes you are xemnas now be quiet.

the ending of all three xenosagas. yes, i cried after ever single one of that series.

of course the xenosaga series is heart wrenching as it is, the made that game to well in my opinion.

I think the moment when Eli Vance gets attacked and probably killed in Half Life Episode 2. After all that time working with Gordon. I want to see what happens to him.

Oh Yeah! I'd forgotten about that song! Yes, I think that's perhaps THE most tearjerkingly beautiful tune ever made in the Final Fantasy series.

The way Laguna got along so well with little Ellone, was beautiful. ^_^

That whole game was wonderful. For anyone who played and didn't do this, make sure to watch through and after all the credits!

And... JEEZ, Usagi, The Thread that Would Not Die!! ! :lol:

Okay, found the one that got to me -

(Please note: quotes are as best I can remember them. I haven't played the game for about a month now, because my roommate's been pursuing achievements.)

In Mass Effect, select "Colonist" as part of your background. It will turn out that you were one of the few colonists to survive an attack on Mindoir by batarian slavers when you were a child. On your second or third trip to the Citadel, you will be asked to help C-Sec with a young lady on the docks who is basically holding herself hostage. She was captured at Mindoir, and was recently rescued by Alliance forces - but she doesn't seem to believe it.

When you go to help her, don't move toward her too quickly - instead, encourage her to talk about herself, and about what she can remember. She tells a horrifying story, from a child's perspective, of what happened that day, and fragments about her life since. (In her mind, she considers herself to still be that little girl on Mindoir, and considers that everything happened to someone else, because "if it happened to her, it was real. And it can't be real! Can it?"). She tells of watching Daddy "come apart" during the attack, and the slavers taking their captives and "putting the marks in their backs, and the metal in their brains so they can't run away. It makes their heads explode if they run away."

At one point, she fiercely denies crying: "She's not supposed to let the water come from her eyes. The masters beat her if she wastes water."

If you gain her trust, you get the opportunity to offer her the anesthetic that C-Sec wanted you to inject her with, so they could take her to Medical for therapy.

"Will she dream?"

"No dreams - you'll just sleep."

"She'd - I'd like that."

At the beginning of this thread you mentioned how the background music of a scene can bring out the emotions of a scene. Well, in Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask, whenever this song is played, my eyes get misty.

The Obliteration of Kharak in the first Homeworld was probably the most emotionally involving event in a videogame I'd ever seen.

Some of the scenes in The World Ends with You can be either sad or happy/sad. For example, when Rhyme is erased, and when Neku and Joshua hold their gunfight duel at the end. What really gets me, though, is the song "Lullaby for You" that plays during the end credits, when Neku is reunited with his friends that he met in the Underground. That is a tear-jerker for sure.

the ending of Call of Duty 4..lol...and I usually hate war games! But I found the ending particularly depressing. Sorry if someone has already mentioned this one, but i didn't have time to read 8 pages :S

Nei's death in Phantasy Star II.
Played it first in the early 90s, still makes me feel sad to this day...
