***I know this game is nearing the 20 year mark, but I will be nice and warn people who haven't played the game all the way through that THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.***
FFVI is constantly cited as one of the more emotionally heavy games of the series. So EoFF, which part of the game uplifted your spirits? Which part of the game brought them down?
Uplifting: I would have to do with when the party gets the Falcon. Sure, the back story behind Setzer and Daryl was depressing, but as the Falcon tears out of the ocean and the track "Searching For Friends" plays, the party begins to show signs of real hope to stop Kefka's tyranny once and for all!
Depressing: The optional scene of Celes' attempted suicide. I remember reading somewhere years later that the dialogue in the original US version was constructed in a specific way to try to hide the fact that she was jumping off a cliff to kill herself. Yeah, I think we all saw through it. Everything in the sequence of events is just perfect. From Celes' theme playing and "Forever Rachel" as excellent song choices to the "cinematography" of the event, I have never been hit as hard in any other point of the series.
