Final Fantasy IV/Tear Jerker

"Yang: Forgive me...
 * Final Fantasy IV has plenty of moments, but the one that got me was when  Even though we get some good news about them during a later boss fight, that moment is still a heartbreaker.
 * Made even worse when you remember.
 * And yet worse, for this troper in her playthrough of the DS version:
 * Also in the game there is the scene where
 * Hey, what about the sacrifices of Yang and Cid, within about 2 mins of each other and the party pleading for both of them not to go through with it.
 * Starting with Yang, who sought to stop the Tower of Babil's cannon from destroying the dwarves by using his own body to make it misfire. This makes the introduction to Edge, his inevitable fifth-slot replacement, sting a lot more.

(Yang kicks the group out of the room and closes the door in front of them)

Cecil: Yang!? Yang!!

Yang: If you should see my wife again, tell her to live enough for us both.

Kain: Don't be a fool! Open the door!

Rydia: Yang!

Rosa: Please, Yang, don't throw your life away!

Yang: It's been an honor fighting with you.

Cecil: Open the door, Yang!

(commence final firing sequence)

Yang: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! *boom*

Cecil: Yang!"

"Rydia: They're closing on us!
 * And then there's Cid, who jumped off the Enterprise with the FFIV equivalent of a tactical nuke with the intent of shutting the underground behind them and stop the Red Wings' pursuit. And just when you thought you had him back.

Cid: Come on... Enterprise!

(cue a small explosion and smoke pouring from one of the engines)

Cid: The engines can't take this! Cecil, take over!

Rosa: Cid!

Rydia: What are you doing?!

(Cid runs to the siderail and pulls out the bomb)

Cid: Once you breach the surface, I'll seal off the hole with this!

Rosa: No, not you too!

Cid: I was hoping I'd get to see your kids someday, but someone's got to keep Yang company. You get yourselves back to Baron, talk to my boys when you get there.

Rosa: But Cid!

Rydia: You'll die!

Cid: And so young, too! (jumps of airship carrying hand-nuke) Bombs away! Try stopping this, Golbez! My once-in-a-lifetime unaided flight! *kaboom*

(cue shift of scene to the Enterprise overlooking the sealed mountain behind Agart village)

Rydia: Cid...

Rosa: (leans into Cecil) One after another...

Kain: Rushing to die like fools! (pounds fist into railing)

Cecil: We go to Baron -- for Cid."

"Kain: Everyone chooses death too quickly..."
 * -sniff-
 * In the Advance version, Kain gives us this line:


 * When Theodore  tries to use Cure on his dead father.
 * 's death, made even more poignant when you beat the game and realize.
 * In the Final Boss fight, when Tellah shows up, you realize that it's probably his soul from the afterlife.
