Famitsu Makes Me Cry

[NeoCracker]

You didn't cry when Yuna tried to hug Tidus but went right through him? Your heart is made of stone. Cold, uncaring stone.

I laughed actually. I thought it was pretty funny personally.

I didn't actually laugh, but I was gaping in horror at how awful a plot device it was. It would have been funnier had I not played the rest of the game.

I've never cried due to a game, but the first time through FF7 when I was 11 or 12 was the closest... and I didn't even like Aerith.

The only thing cry-worthy in FF13 was how terrible the writing was from Chapter 9 onward.

I'd already seen the TV add that showed Aerith die, so the scene had pretty much no impact on me.


And on that list, Mother 3 had a few really depressing moments, probably the most legitamately depressing game on the list. The end of Xenosaga 3 almost got to me.

And as for that matter, where is Final Fantasy VI on that list? Shadow dying at the end was a thing of tragedy, a hell of a lot sadder then whiny blond boy going poof.

Yo, I saw that a little while back and wondered "why the hell would they do this when it came out?" I had known about the scene from the insane amount of buzz the game generated upon release, it was unavoidable in our lunchtable discussions in school. And I think a guide I read actually kinda spoiled it as well. But for those people who didn't know what FF was and were really just about to jump in, that must have been a bummer.

I wonder how many people actually played it not knowing Aeris was going to die.

...You did a terrible job editing text out of that quote.

Opera scene puts tears in my eyes every. Single. Time.

You really are evil, dude.

If only you knew

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny and part of me was wishing she accidentally slid off the airship to oblivion as well, would have saved us from X-2.

There should be an animated gif of Yuna trying to hug Tidus with big bold capitalised letters reading: FAILHUG. Well, I don't like those kind of meme things, but that one would make me laugh at least once.

Anyway. I have never cried at anything in a video game but I would say the saddest moment for me in video gaming is definitely Seto.
