Suikoden/Tear Jerker

Suikoden I
" : Young Master, can you hear me? I'm sorry I can't protect you anymore. ...But now that you've grown up, you no longer need my protection. Young Master...You make me proud. I wish Master Teo could see you right now.

Viktor:

I think it's time to say goodbye. I can't see anymore. Young Master. I'm proud of you. Promise me that you'll always follow your heart. That is my first, and final... request..."

"Viktor: Are you all right,
 * The scenes after the duel between the Tir McDohl and his  make quite an impact.
 * Ted's back story of his village being  along with the village's theme song may make you reach for your tissues. Not to mention his own.
 * Okay, so it's fairly Narmy in retrospect, but I just broke down the first time I played Suikoden all those years ago and got to  Heroic Sacrifice. The later Player Punches were just as bad, especially when it was finally made clear that
 * Seconded.

Quickly! You must run...

Little boy: O-OK.



Gremio:  You're bleeding!

Viktor:  What have you done? Without you, the Liberation Army...

It appears...

Cleo: Don't talk,. You'll reopen your wound!

I have...two requests. First, give this earring...to a fellow called Mathiu...in the village of Seika...

Viktor: Stop it,  I don't want to hear any final requests!

Tir, take it...M-my other request...Please throw my body...into the stream there...

Gremio: What? But why? I can't do such a horrible thing.



Tir: I can't.

Viktor: He's right,. Why do you ask such a thing?

The tiny...newborn hope...must be kept...alive...

Tir: I can't.

You must put an end to it. Even if I die...If my hopes remain alive...I can be proud of my life. My blood...

Tir: As you wish.

Viktor: Tir! How can you...

You understand me, don't you? Viktor...if the Liberation forces find out I'm dead...the Movement will lose faith and die. That is why you must keep my death a secret. Our tiny, newborn hope...must be kept alive... ...Well...it appears the end is near...Tir, I hope that you will be able to see the Free World that I was...never able to..."

" : Master Liukan, those voices...Have we won?
 * The sequence after the last boss is a sequence of Tearjerkers, from  to   to, worst of all,

Liukan: Yes, undoubtedly.

Master Liukan. I despise war. I always felt that to take a life of another, for whatever reason, was wrong. And yet, I became a and took many lives. Did I do the right thing?



Liukan: ...the answer to that...

Liukan: Are you asleep now, ? May you rest in peace. You have accomplished so much in your life."

Suikoden II

 * Any attacks and ransacks done by.
 * Lady Anabelle's.
 * When your sister Nanami falls (whether she dies or not is up to whether you recruited all 108 stars), it is a huge Tear Jerker moment, especially when she tells the hero how happy she was to be his "Big Sister". Also, Pilika's plotline is a huge Tear Jerker. She loses her village and her parents, is rendered mute when she is nearly butchered by Luca Blight, is apart from her beloved caretaker Jowy for a long time, and in the end, there is a scene where Jowy tells Pilika than when he leaves, its "goodbye forever". Pilika tells Jowy to hold her like her father held her.

Suikoden III

 * Learning the Flame Champion's history, how.
 * Losing  may not have bothered some players, but when you have to break the news to their mother... It's made even worse when.
 * Then there's the sequence in Suikoden III where you finally catch up with the Flame Champion...
 * Bring Futch and Viki to the final battle against, and it was pretty heartbreaking too when
 * Viki's newspaper article too.

Suikoden IV
"Snowe: Everything I've done was to protect you! Why am I being blamed for it?"
 * Troy's loyalty to his empire, even until
 * Seeing  and know his.
 * If you aren't cursing his stupidity, some of Snowe's moments can be pretty depressing, like how he completely fails to get WHY everyone reacts so poorly when he's trying so hard. Highlight has to be his breakdown when he's driven out of Razril by an angry mob shooting fire arrows.

Suikoden V

 * Now has its own page.

Suikoden Tactics

 * Peck's history with Brandeau and then add that to their  in Suikoden IV makes quite a heavy tear-jerking moment for this troper.

Suikoden Tierkreis

 * Realising that  is quite a throw back to the player.
