Final Fantasy X/Tear Jerker


 * The pain Yuna must have been feeling each time And then her pain quickly turns to resolve as she.
 * Tidus being comforted by Valefor.
 * The ending, wherein . This editor bawled non-stop for at least ten minutes. Most Downer Ending he's ever seen (though some would consider it merely a Bittersweet Ending), mitigated only if you watch the credits to the very end and see The Stinger (or play the sequel). But so elegantly and effectively done, perfectly executed. Damn you Squaresoft-Enix.
 * This troper tears up every time when
 * Specifically, this troper found the part of the ending where Yuna is to be heartbreaking, due to the particular significance that had been attached to the action earlier.
 * Tidus reaching out to
 * If the play chooses the 'Talk' option for Tidus during the fight, it will say that Tidus' voice seems to affect.
 * After the ship from Besaid fails to stop Sin, you get a cutscene showing a happy, quiet little moment in Kilika. Children playing with their blitzballs, a young mother singing to the baby in her arms, that sort of thing. Then Sin comes. The blitzball is next seen bobbing up and down amid the wreckage, and
 * The Spring cutscene walks on the thin line between Heartwarming and Tear Jerker. Yuna and Tidus
 * Even though this troper had seen the ending on the Internet, seeing the full ending on her TV after having just beat the final boss...she bawled for the first time in a long while. It doesn't help that the "enemy descriptions" include
 * Other examples include
 * The scene with Luzzu at the Djose Temple is hard to take. For that matter, the sheer shock of  The worst part about this is that you unknowingly choose which of these scenes you will witness.
 * "Dad?... I hate you." The inability of so many characters in this game to communicate with each other leads to several very sad and painful moments in this troper's opinion, but this scene by far takes the teary cake in respect to this.
 * *chuckle* "I know, I know."
 * That Jecht sphere... It starts off with Jecht asking Auron if the latter caught the Blitz game, and ends with an emotional-and-trying-to-hide-it Jecht telling Auron to turn the sphere off. Jecht was crying? Hell, and throw in that toxin-spurred shot of Jecht standing in the doorway of their home back in Zanarkand.
 * "You know...for the first time...I'm glad to have you...as a father."
 * How about the memories in Zanarkand, where we see Auron trying to plead Jecht and Braska to not go through with the Final Summoning? And after the scene to hear Auron's cracked-and-sorrow-filled voice saying "And the cycle went on." AND see a flashback about his desperate attempt to get revenge on while being in a grief fueled rage.
 * This troper got so many teary chills during that scene. Having to "live" (if you can call it that) with that knowledge for the next ten years - knowing the truth of what actually happened to two friends to whom he'd trusted his life during their pilgrimage, while everyone in Spira thinks he's a Big Damn Hero - really brought home just *why* he was so cynical, why he always seemed to know more than he was letting on, why he hated himself and beat himself up so much during the game.
 * What did me in the most was Auron  Seeing Auron break down like that, so full of self-loathing for what he couldn't do and over the friends he couldn't protect.... It was incredibly powerful, even beautiful in a way.
 * The destruction of Home. The Al Bhed, whose only crime is the salvage and use of "forbidden" machina, is the most hated and disenfranchised race in Spira. They never even had a nation or a homeland until Cid built Home on the sands of Bikanel Island. Then the Guado and the Church of Yevon invade it and kill everyone in it with hordes of fiends. When Cid takes whatever survivors he can find and escapes with them on the Fahrenheit, he orders his own son to destroy Home to avoid pursuit. And as the missiles fly, all Al Bhed on board sing the Hymn of the Fayth, both in honor of their dead as well as to soothe their own hearts.
 * "To Zanarkand" is a heartbreaking piece of music on its own, especially the orchestral version.
 * Wandering Flame is pure tearjerker fuel.
 * As well as Phantoms.
 * Almost Fridge-y, but for this troper, all it takes is offhandedly calling Kimahri.
 * Related to this, upon playing through the game again, the scene at Gagazet where all the Ronso first tell Yuna they will bar Yevon's way and prevent anyone from attacking her party, and then sing the Hymn of the Fayth in her honor. First time around it was brave, noble, a possible Offscreen Moment of Awesome that proved how truly heroic the Ronso were, and the song was powerful and poignant. Upon second viewing, knowing they truly did sacrifice all their lives (rather than just the possibility it might happen) turns the whole thing tragic and heartbreaking, with the hymn becoming their own funeral dirge.
 * "Suteki Da Ne" can really tug at your heartstrings.
 * Especially when you translate "Suteki Da Ne" to find out that in English, it's "Isn't It Wonderful?" This troper bawled the next time he heard the song with the title's implications.
 * The lyrics are worse. "Isn't it beautiful / To walk together in each others hands / I do so want to go / To your city, your house, into your arms."
 * Operation Mi'ihen. This troper has a hard time getting through that section of the game. . Depending on what you chose, or . The implications that . The whole event is Nightmare Fuel AND a Tear Jerker, all rolled up into one!
