The emotional video game thread

[Kakariko Kid]

I have already said how the last two chapters of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is. People who played the orignal Final Fantasy VII knows that Zack dies but this game goes the extra mile.

A quick spoiler run down

At the end of Chapter 9, both Cloud and Zack are kidnapped and experimented on for 4 YEARS. Chapter 10 starts with them breaking out, which turns them into enimeies of Shinra. Cloud now has overdosed on the matreia stuff and so is in a coma-like stance for the rest of the game. Zack and Cloud now had S-cells in them that cure the degeneration that Genesis and Angele have, but it's treated like a cancer. After "killing" Genesis, it turns out that the last copy of Angele is dead. Said copy has the last letter Aerith ever writes to Zack because she gives up on seeing him again. The Turks are on their way to find Zack and give him the rest of the letters. Zack never gets them.

One of the few games that made me cry.

Aerith's death shocked me, my brother, and his friend. As bad as that was, the immediate battle with depressing music had us all in a state of sadness, anger, and disbelief while holding back tears.
