Dio Brando 5,810 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) As we all know the Final Fantasy series has it's share of very sad moments that we'll continue to remember,and they're coupled with sad musical pieces that makes you immersed more in the story So,in your opinion,what are the saddest tracks you've heard in the Final Fantasy franchise Me,I had a couple of tracks that I can never forget That moment in Crisis Core where you can't stop crying even though you already saw it coming if you've played FFVII. Zack against an onslaught of Shinra Solders trying to protect Cloud with everything he got,but one can only endure so much damage before he collapses,thus we get to the moment that made me cry like a little baby.....Zack is truly one of the best heroes the FF franchise ever got,no wonder Cloud was so sad and crushed when Zack died Anyway(trying to wipe my tears...sniff) moving on.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKnvKa5N410 I know this particular theme is for the world map later in the game but it really have a sad and somber atmosphere for it,most of the soundtrack in FF6 feels like that but it's still awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uClMyknwUE Edited March 9, 2014 by Metal Snake 1 Cucco reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elrandir 783 Posted March 9, 2014 The saddest moment of my childhood was thanks to this song and Final Fantasy II (at the time, later changed to IV) on the Snes Why Twins why! Children turning themselves into stone for the sake of their friends. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Children turning themselves into stone for the sake of their friends. This song was more sad on Tellah who died after casting Meteor on Golbez As for the rest....they survived,which makes me happy even though I don't understand how Cid managed to survive that explosion....I'll bet my money on that awesome beard of his Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor Tellah was blinded by rage. Definitely the beard and those amazing googles. Another sad moment is the intro of Final Fantasy Type-0 It makes me sad how Izana died even when Ace tried to help him. The "Zero" opening song makes it even more heartbreaking. I can't wait until August 8th for the release of the translation patch. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby Rose 8,591 Posted March 9, 2014 March of the Dreadnoughts sounds sad based off the title alone http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yF1rWqxCBjQ It's very misleading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grotesquery 603 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) As for the rest....they survived,which makes me happy even though I don't understand how Cid managed to survive that explosion....I'll bet my money on that awesome beard of his His magnificent beard served as insulation and took the brunt of the explosion, causing him for the first time ever to be caught clean shaven. He then believed in all the fairies of the underworld, their combined Yang-fueled giggles bringing his beard back to life. Of course, this was unnecessary, as all Cid would have had to do was will it back into existence. Because he can.

Shulk 8,623 Posted March 9, 2014 Both of those from Crisis Core. First time a game ever made me tear up... ;_; That whole thing that went down at the World of Ruin between Celes and Cid... Ugh, it makes me sad just thinking of it. (Wanted the SNES version but couldn't find it) FFIV had a ton of sad tracks, but this one probably takes the cake for me. I don't even know if it was meant to be sad, but it certainly sounds sad to me. Hearing this when the party reaches Zanarkand and reflects on their whole journey, and the feeling that everyone wants to stop Yuna's fate at all costs... It was some seriously emotional stuff.

Setrex 1,031 Posted March 10, 2014 Quite a few tracks that sprung to mind have already been posted However I do know a few that get to me, Final Fantasy XIV - Answers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b96rrbo-_Ik It's a powerful song more so than weepy sad but I still remember that cinematic they released for A Realm Reborn and thinking how they did a good job at making me feel sad for the characters that I knew nothing about. My mind has gone blank though on certain tracks so I'll edit them in if I remember I don't find tracks sad, I find people actually dying sad. More often than not, music contributes to why we find character deaths so sad to begin with. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Setrex 1,031 Posted March 10, 2014 I don't. If a character is dying I'm going to have a clear reaction depending on the situation and character regardless of music. I was just saying that music helps contribute to a sad scene. I was in no way judging your opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
