Yeah that game made me said when the final boss "Necron" showed up and I was left thinking "Who the hell is Necron?" It makes me laugh when people say FF9 had a good story. I just say "Necron" and the argument is over :P.


Oddly enough, reading that statement makes me really want to try this game now.

I have a long list, but my personal #1 most emotional moment in video gaming is:
Silent Hill 2, the Leave & In Water endings. Particularly, the pivotal emotional moment is the very last line of the entire video game:

You made me happy.

I hate it when certain games show up someone as the final boss whose never been mentioned period throughout the entire game. As for the characters in the game that were fleshed out enough to give that emotional attachment, Vivi, Zidane, Garnet, Eiko, and Kuja were the focal points for me.
Spoiler :
Even though Kuja was an asshole throughout most of the game he finally made amends with his brother Zidane and Zidane's party near his death.

I just remembered 9 hours ago other games I wanted to mention but I think the list of games I already posted is more than enough. Nice to see folks post the games they have been affected by that way or regretted buying LOL, and I'm sure we're not the only ones.


Oh don't get me wrong. I enjoyed and finished the game. However, on the "tier" of Final Fantasy games, it's near the bottom along with 8 (which also had a final boss that came out of nowhere).

Back on topic, I can distinctly remember having an emotional reaction in Lunar 2, but that was more of a :shock: moment when the game does the opposite of a typical RPG cliche, which was very unexpected.

Spoiler :
Near the end of the game, you are in what feels like the final dungeon and are about to fight the final bad guy. There's all this cliche dialogue about how the heroes will win because they are fighting together, blah blah blah then one of the characters (Lucia) decides humanity is not strong enough to fight this battle and takes all your powers away. Ultimately she loses and your party has to do an additional 8 or so hours of the game to reach the same final boss later on.

I guess I was surprised because there was this "final battle" feel to it and the typical lines being spoken and then the game goes...NOT!


In similar fashion, Xenogears had a shocking moment as well. Well probably more like multiple shocking moments.

Other than that, I unfortunately can't say a game has really had an emotional impact beyond shock/surprise. I hear Silent Hill 2 could change that.

Another favorite of mine. They just don't make survival horror like they used to. :(

It's definitely on my recommendation list, however I will admit, Silent Hill isn't for everyone. The original games are very psychologically/emotionally challenging. I know a lot of people who start but never finish the originals just because it's something that requires a lot of psychological/emotional effort to play. Unlike those westernized Silent Hill: Saw messes they're coming out with now. :roll:

When it comes to Final Fantasy, I personally felt FF6 was actually the most engaging. The opera scene is really quite amazing, considering this is 16-bit graphics and MIDI audio. And I also can't forget the famous

Goes to show, engaged storytelling doesn't come from enhanced computer graphics.

I played the first one, but it creeped me out with the babies and weird shit. Unlike Resident Evil, Silent Hill definitely felt more "horror" then "action." That's a good thing, but not something I'm always in the mood for.

Now that's a great one! In the US version, didn't they censor it? I played it on my SNES at launch, but don't remember it being as brutal...or maybe I was just too young to understand what was going on. Either way, definitely one of the best moments in FF. Aeris death doesn't even come close (for me) since FF6's scene required so much more maturity.

Back when it was released as FFIII in the states, it was censored quite a bit. A lot of the dialogue was taken out just simply it couldn't fit on the US ROMs. Character's names were also changed as well. Content too was taken out, which included (pix-elated) nudity and some violence. FFVI Advance for the GBA also is censored a lot with foul language, violence (notably against women), and nudity. The Playstation port found on FF Anthology is probably the closest to the japanese original out of all the US releases.

back on subject...maybe

Fatal Frame 2 and Silent Hill 2 are a given. One I like but tends to make anyone sad is Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. It's a pretty game for the Wii but, it's so damn depressing.
Spoiler :
However the BL kiss scene tends to make me lmao 'We're friends and friends kiss....right? I read that." Oh Crow XD


One that really affected me was Rule of Rose. For presonal reasons I tend to get really emotional when I'm playing this game.

Others I can think of on the top of my head:
Eternal Sonata
Tales of the Abyss
Shadow Of The Colossus
Kingdom Hearts 2 & Brith By Sleep
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3/3 FES
Final Fantasy 10
Fatal Frame 4/ Zero 4

I think that enough. Most of the time if I actually cry due to a game its tears of fustration than saddness.
Spoiler :
Like the boss battle with Emeraude/Emerald in Tales of Graces/Graces f...oh god I hate that bitch so much

-_-

What you classify as yelling amazes me. You've never played in a competitive gaming league. If the word "faggot" hasn't been used yet, people aren't mad. My level of anger usually reached "disappointed."

I AM DISAPPOINT

Persona 3 FES's ending was especially trying on me, although there is a scene from Valkyria Chronicles that just pushed me over the edge.

Spoiler :
I am, of course, referring to the scene where Isara gets killed off, right when she and Rosie make peace.
