Video Game Endings That Made You Cry

Posted

I'm a fairly stone-hearted man myself but I have (very) occasionally slightly welled up at a game ending once or twice, here are some examples:

 

Professor Layton and the Unwound/Lost Future: Honestly, if you didn't atleast show some sort of emotion at this - I would actually be afraid you are a robot. This remains to be the only VGM ending i've actually wept at. The circumstances were just so tragic about it that I couldn't bear it. Layton is such a gentleman, so why did Claire have to die on him, if anyone deserves true love and a happy ending it was him, when he took off his hat, the flood gates opened. When Luke had to leave as well, ugh... the emotion.. I hate it that we never found out anything after that as well..

 

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: Say what you want about Xion, I really liked her. While i've kinda accepted that she's gone and I think bringing her back would be rather dumb, I still found it emotional nevertheless. While I didn't cry, I got abit misty eyed. Some thought Roxas's 'ice cream' line was pretty silly - but I found it really powerful as that's he only thing he knows as friendship.

 

Your turn.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: Xion ;~;

 

ROXAS, YOU RUINED THE SCENE

 

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorer Of The Sky: Oh boy, let me get a life supply of tissues, because that ending is firetrucking sad ;~;

A video game ending has never made me cry.

what does that make me

Final Fantasy X. The first JRPG I ever played until the end, and while I cried as a child, when I played the HD remaster ten years later I still teared up.

Kingdom Hearts 2 is the only game that made me cry with tears of joy.

 

The games that made me cry with tears of sadness are, in order from least crying to most crying, are: The Walking Dead Season 1, The Walking Dead Season 2 and Valiant Hearts (Oh man, I cried for at least an hour).

KH 358/2 Days: Xion scene. It almost made me shed a tear, but I was in public transportation, so...

 

PMD EoT/D/S: Dat ending. Sad but no tears.

 

I feel like there's one game im forgetting about.

Gotta be..

 

Xion's death from Days... 

 

Blank Points from BBSFM...

 

Not really much more than that. The rest is just anime that's made me cry.

To the Moon. All of it...

 

358/2

 

Final fantasy 10

The endings of COM (RE:COM specifically) and KHII really hit me in the feels, but I didn't cry over it.

Crisis Core got me dangerously close. Zack is one of the best characters I've ever seen in a game.

 

Otherwise, the endings of KHI and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 1 and 2 make me really sad. I've never really been close to crying, though.

Ni No Kuni

Kingdom Hearts II and DDD

 

Just really...sad. 

Most video game endings make me cry at least a little, so I can't list them all out. The most recent game I played that made me cry during the ending was Final Fantasy X. 

So I can't say there is a video game that are me cry but I will say the end of sword art online II would bring anyone to tears

Walking Dead Seasons 1 and 2. 

 

Valiant Hearts. 

 

And BioShock Infinite: Burial At Sea Episode 2... Goddamnit... 

Edited by Caxkj

Oh, if we don't count just endings, Xenoblade had a few moments that got me pretty close.

 

 

And by that I mean Fiora's "death," and the moment when Shulk, Dunban, and the others learn that she's still alive, but is being used as a weapon for Mechonis. That might have just been due to the knowledge that Fiora was still alive, though.

 

This game i'm about to list didn't really make me cry, but me feel really sad in the inside:

 

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Well, in Dark Souls, it's not really the end of the game, but it's the end of a character's story arc within said game. Specifically, the end of Seigmeyer's plot. It helped that he was my favorite character, and just the ending... yeah.

Birth by Sleep and Crisis Core.

Crisis Core :

also not an ending, but the first game to make me cry was FF6, with that certain scene after the first half of the game. You know the one

Oh crap, forgot all about that scene. It didn't make me cry, but that was easily one of the saddest moments I've ever seen in a game. I still think it's stupid that it can be completely averted and ruin that character's development and motivation throughout the second half of the game, though.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

Only one. Ever.

 

But Final Fantasy XV will make me cry harder.

 

IT WILL!!!!

I feel like Birth by Sleep should've made me cry, but from looking at the trailers I already knew exactly what was going to happen

In all honesty, every game, that I played and beat, makes me cry. Cuz it's like the end of a really long journey and seeing how much the characters in those games have grown on you. It'seems really sad cuz it's not only the end of they're journey but it's the end of yours. That is makes me sad about endings. It'seems pretty much the end of your journey as well.

Well BBS was a foregone conclusion, it's ending was shown in KH2FM years before the game was released
