    As annoying as she was, Fi from Skyward Sword almost made me cry at the end of the game. Well, a couple of tears.

    Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. One last fun ride with a bunch of friends before the final reckoning.

    For added gut punch: romance Thane.

    As someone who has had the chance to play through Xenoblade Chronicles 1 through 3, several times in 3 specifically I was very emotional.

    3 is a game that’s emotional on its own, and throughout its story there are several times where it hits like a truck.

    But when you know about all three games, some things just hit a little harder, especially during that DLC.

    There’s definitely a reason I have Mio and Noah Amiibo on my desk right now.

    Honestly, XC3 is probably the best RPG of that generation (of course that’s on opinion. But it’s a correct one 😄)

    A couple of times, yes. I think the one I cried the most was the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI, it was just one of the most magnificent scenes in gaming.

    I don’t think I’ve ever had a “sad emotion” at all playing a game… I rarely have any emotion besides happy or angry playing games lol.

    Journey’s ending hit me pretty hard: the score’s composer, Austin Wintory, did such a great job channeling emotions into the game narrative

    Devil May Cry back in 2001, and hellblade in 2017. There weee probably others that I had a response to, but those both had tears falling.

    Two that I can remember.

    • To The Moon
    • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Excellent storytelling transcends the medium, but it’s a shame that there are so few games that have managed to tug at my heartstrings.

    Edit: I am reading the comments and making a list. Sometimes a good cry is the catharsis an aching soul needs.

    Recently.

    The “Unlost World” storyline in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is rough if you have lost a loved one recently.

      Mmm, great memories of Blue Rescue team.

      I’ve been meaning to play the others, but DS emulation is kind of subpar by design.

        Is it? I thought DS emulators are pretty good. I’ve seen a few Streamers stream the Pokémon DS games without issues. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon also doesn’t make much use of the touch screen iirc
