    Default Most Heartbreaking Final Fantasy Moments?

    What are some moments from the series that really broke your heart?

    For me, the worst one was the ending of Final Fantasy X. smurfing Tidus just disappearing and trout - felt like a massive slap in the face for Yuna, and that scene where he is hugging her BUT SHE CAN'T FEEL IT. And then he just walks through her? Like wtf.

    I have a couple of answers:
    - Tidus fading away in FFX
    - Celes' suicide attempt in FFVI
    - Hope disappearing at the beginnig of the final day in Lightning Returns
    - Zack's death in Crisis Core

    No moment is more heartbreaking than finishing a Final Fantasy.

    I Literaly felt really sad when Galuf died, just because i liked him so much.

    The end of X is pretty sad too.

    Sazh's 'almost' suicide in Final Fantasy XIII. It really brought out the feels for me and I honestly thought he was going to follow through for a second. It was a pretty dark moment that I wasn't totally expecting from a FF game.

    Oh man all the feels coming at me I wont repeat the ones already said:

    Chichiri (or however its spelt) the chocobo dying in the beginning of Type 0 ...oh yeah and Machina's bro

    Vivi finding out about who/what he is

    Aeris's death (surprised it wasn't mentioned already)

    Yuffie (and possibly Barret) have gotten further with Cloud than Tifa has

    Trabia getting blown up

    Zell missing out on hotdogs

    Tidus and Yunas entire relationship

    Dynes suicide

    Kefka poisoning peeps

    Getting 0.01 dodging birds on a Chocobo

    Dodging 200 lightning bolts

    Rinoa being afraid everyone will hate her upon becoming a sorceress with Squall on the Ragnarock

    Kain's eternal friendzone

    Anytime something cute dies

    Forgetting to save after beating Penance and turning off your console only to remember you forgot to save.

    Oh, this, 100%. What makes it darker is the juxtaposition between the severity of the attempt, and the relative happiness of the character and of the surroundings of the chapter (a bright theme park).

    Though special mention should go to FFVII for Aerith's death. I mean, that's iconic.

    Celes' Suicide Attempt is still my favorite.

    Learning about Shadow's Past and relationship with Relm only to see it never conclude.

    Vivi Learning his true nature.

    The Black Waltz #3 killing the Black Mages in front of Vivi

    Auron's death

    When Squall finally opens up to the comatose Rinoa

    Selphie saying goodbye to her dead friends in Trabia Garden

    Zack's death (original version)

    Setzer telling the party the story of Daryl

    Locke using the Phoenix Esper on Racheal

    The Death of the King of Tycoon

    Gilgamesh's sacrifice for the party (FFV)

    Tellah's death, mainly because the game never hides the fact he was doomed from the beginning.

    Baltheir's farewell to Dr. Cid

    Fran telling her sister to stay in the Woods and how she lost her ability to hear the spirits.

    Basch's story in general.

    Sahz's suicide attempt

    Cyan seeing his dead family depart on the Phantom Train.

    Cyan's dream world, specifically the parts where you can see his memories of his times with his family when you explore the castle.
