Final Fantasy IX/Tear Jerker

"(during Kitchen ATE) "Grandpa... I don't want to be alone anymore... Help me do this right.""
 * The moment in Final Fantasy IX, when the third Black Waltz.
 * The look on Vivi's face when it happens is enough to break your heart, despite the fact that he's The Faceless and you can only see his eyes as he watches.
 * His body language in that scene thoroughly makes up for his lack of a face. Watching him press against the window as the mages fall or stand in front of the one hat on the railing is just heartbreaking.
 * The Black Mages suffer even more when
 * The moment where Yes, she might have gone mad with greed and killed thousands of innocent people, but that's still
 * Also the aftermath, including, giving Garnet a Heroic BSOD moment and causing her to go completely mute from the trauma.
 * The ending of her period of being mute was also a tear-inducing, but for the completely opposite reason.
 * And, yes, the moment
 * Which brings us to another tear jerker.
 * That scene gets to me too, largely because
 * The final words of
 * "How did you survive...?" "I didn't have a choice. So... I sang your song. Our song." Oh goddammit. *sob* (qualifies also as a Heartwarming Moments).
 * One of the most well-remembered parts of the game, where Zidane's True Companions break him out of his Heroic BSOD after he, telling him that since he always believed in them, that means that they're going to believe in him too. All while the famous track of You're Not Alone plays.
 * Dagger: "You've always protected us. But you still don't understand that we looked out for you, too! We watched your back while you watched ours. And we believed in you the same way you believed in us! Just like you protected us... We want to protect you."
 * May just be me, but for some reason when  he was struck with unreasonable sadness. Partly due to the fact that Quina refuses due to be scared of heights, which made it even worse. Watching that tree explode was so damn hard.
 * The destruction of . There's something just plain wrong about destroying the home of what were essentially a bunch of peace-loving, nature-worshiping hippies.
 * IT was worse because I accidentally told the Cleyrans to go the wrong way because you were supposed to know the Alexandria soldiers were ahead of you. AAAAGH, NOOO!!!!
 * Even worse is the fact that even if you get all of them to the top of the tree, you've just doomed them to die at Odin's lance.
 * Not quite, they escaped and can be seen around the world map at various places. I can remember seeing one of the oracles in Daeguerro and the couple in Lindblum (complete with children)
 * A smaller Tear Jerker is near the end of the game, where you learn that Morrid, the Cool Old Guy who helped you earlier in the game and collected rare coffee, had died in an earthquake caused during the course of the game.
 * The destruction of is the most devastating scene in the game.* It's made even worse by the aftermath. Where any other form of media would have an implied holocaust or only talk about it, in FF9 you're forced to walk around a destroyed, while the citizens give you short but horrific anecdotes about the attack and the  waver between My God, What Have I Done? and bragging about their superiority. The stories include a little girl in the very first screen asking for her (absent, probably deceased) mother not to leave her alone, the synthesist's father having lost the use of his hands, the pickle selling woman having been blinded, and that's only three out of dozens of potential conversations. The entire  was wiped out. Just think about how many people that would be and what that means.
 * A rare one for the enemy side, but I've ever seen
 * "Freya, you say? I believe this is the first time we have met..." Ouch. Followed by Vivi's innocent, "What's the matter, Freya? Are you crying?"
 * Eiko's Establishing Character Moment (the whole Precocious Crush thing was basically just a front.)

""One day, Mr. 36 stopped moving. My friend who knows a lot of things says that this is what "death" was, and that we had to bury him. Mr. 36 is buried under the ground now, but I don't understand why. He's going to come out again one day, right? When he does, I'm going to wash him off in the pond.""
 * The black mages' understanding of death, or, as they call it, "stopping."

""...You're right, but I don't think we build cemeteries for the dead. Sure, it may seem pointless to you, but... How can I describe it? It's so that we can think like this: 'We'll never forget you. We'll remember you every time we stand at your grave. And we won't let the fear of death, which each of us knows, stop us from living our lives. ...Because my friends will remember me when I'm here.'""
 * Mr. 288 explaining what a cemetery was for to Mikoto gets me teary every time:


 * Don't forget the ending:
