Nice spoiler you fucking ass.

I don't care what anyone else says, this is the most beautiful moment in retro vidya

Galuf's death scene

It's not difficult to succeed at saving her, but this scene is too scary for me for some reason. The last time I played it I started shaking.

The first game that gave me feel and made me cry was Resident Evil. I'm not even kidding, I was 10, and it was the first time I was so immersed in a video game, I was really hoping to get everybody out of the house alive. It was a real personal commitment to them cause I only had the game in English (not my native tongue) and at that age I had to use a dictionnary for some of the puzzles... When I beat the game and not everybody made it out, even with all the poor acting, I shed a couple of tears.

>LAAAAAAAAAAAVVVITTTTZ

>>632013
I didn't know what to do the first time I played it, so I just panicked and it did a really good job of showing the hopelessness lucca felt.

>>632127
It was even worse if you played on the Playstation first, because the password was something ugly like L1, Triangle, R1, Triangle. It feels awful if you fail it, like you actually hurt her yourself.

Stupid fanart aside, the whole sequence was pretty profound.

>>632160
If there's one thing the Mother series knows how to make, it's final battles.

>>632043
>>631993
That whole ending... humanity facing its ultimate fate at the hands of nature, and the spirits of the earth retaking the land in a brilliant display lights... Concluding with a flash forward to a recovering planet. This isn't just vidya, it's art. *cough*fuckyouNomurawithyoursequels*cough*

Some of the Classic BGM's can make me physically tear up, There's just too much memory of my brother playing them with me.
The ending of Legend of Zelda Links Awakening for example (He played it on the Super Gameboy so it was up on the tv)

RIP

Game gave me a lot of feels.

Mostly because I was young and misinterpreted a lot.

But still...

FF8 was: Feels, The game

You already know which moments I talk about.

This scene in Terranigma. After an avalanche, you get stuck with a goat in a cave. Her mate has died, so she resorts to cannibalism. Next morning, the goat finds a hole you can climb out of, but she is unable to get out herself. She does assure you she can get out another way though.

If you return later on, you find 2 skeletons in the cave.

>>632510
It's astonishing how many things passed the Nintendo censorship radar in this game. Obvious religious imagery, alcohol, and even cannibalism. There is no doubt about it, if they decided to release this in America it would have been neutered.

I guess Europe didn't have as many soccer moms at the time. Just look at the back of this cover, it got a 3+ rating.

>>632580
>passed the Nintendo of Europe censorship radar

This was so sad. So fucking sad.

>>632126

>he'll never spin that cane ever again.

>>632580
Here in Italy, the freaking home of the Catholic Church, we could have religious imagery and nudity in games (and TV can show uncensored anime) and nobody objected.

>>632681
That's because Murrika is still living in the Middle Ages

>>632725
only cause Europe sent us all its religious fanatics, same reason Australia is like it is, sent it all its criminals

>>632580
Well, NoE usually just took the American versions/translations(which got the censorship because of NoA's policies) for almost all games released there, because it was cheap and easy. Terranigma was a special case, because it's translation was specifically made for the European/Australian market. NoE never had any censorship policies like NoA did.

>>632752
That didn't stop fascism and other horrors from being perpetrated by Europeans long afterwards.

>>632686
Ma... mama, mama.

>>632725
Do you remember the reaction the burgers had to one pasty-covered nipple in the Super Bowl?

>>632784
Yeah, just trying to keep people reminded that the reason Murrika is so shitty is because people are so shitty, world over, it's one big globe of shit

Small clarification: she does not eat her mate. She offers her mate to Ark, who refuses.

In Lufia 1, this scene is so stupid. Maxim dies for no god damned reason.

Then Lufia 2 provides a reason.

>>632686
The ending of Lufia 2 is so god damned amazing. I really can't think of an RPG since that's had a better ending. What the fuck happened to the JRPG genre?

The music accompanies the game's heartwrenching conclusion so perfectly.

>don't save Lara

>Lucca has just done a selfish thing while everyone else is thinking about saving the world, come on people you don't use time travel for personal sh*t, this is like time travel 101, do the words "father's day" mean anything to you?

>>634443
Lucca didn't ask for the portal to appear God did it.

>>634443
Nah, fuck that. She didn't do anything on purpose. A red gate appeared before her. Based on the conversation that takes place immediately prior, it's clear that The Entity is offering Lucca a chance to change her past as thanks for Lucca and her friends working to change The Entity's future. Since The Entity is the planet and all.

Oh, and saving Lucca's mom has no negative effects! What do you know.

MFW I failed to save Lucca's mom the first time I played the game because I played the game on the PlayStation 1 and there was no A button on the controller, so I guessed "triangle" and was wrong. Real immersion breaking bullshit right there. Also I hadn't saved in like forever.

>>632346
>>632389

You're fucking morons.

but I'm glad it made you feel good

>>634412

;_;

>>634470
Wait, you mean Lucca's mother isn't named L▲R▲?

>>631967
Urgh delete your picture you spoiling jerk.

>>634479
Triangle looks like capital A. It was my best guess.

Funny enough, in Chrono Cross, the code IS L1▲R1▲. So my guess was not without merit. But the lazy niggers who made the port just assumed you'd know to press the circle button, as it corresponds to the A button on the SNES controller. For me, now, that would be effortless, but as a kid, when the pressure was on, I failed.

>>632510
Anyone else remember the end of "Soul Blazer" where the hero gets reincarnated as a goat by The Master?

>>634417
Don't worry, she returns later...

... as a FUCKING ZOMBIE.

>>634485
Ah. Well, who can blame them. L1○R1○ was an incredibly popular name during the 60s, you know.

>>634470
BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE
Fuck Chrono Cross.

>>634497
Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of that move. From a gameplay perspective, delighted to have Nei again but fucking hell

This fucking scene, this fucking scene right here.

When Delita's sister died in FFT. Delita lost his soul as a result and become a power hungry monster.

>>634519

Psycho Mantis too

All of Valkyrie Profile. The whole game. I legit stopped playing for a week after the Yumei story I was that fucking depressed.

I felt a little emotional on Star Fox 64's Hard path where the ghost of James McCloud helps his son escape Andross' base. Since the first game I'd always wanted to hear more about Fox's father, it was seriously one of the most shocking twists in a video game for me.

Andross declares he's taking Fox down with him and explodes, the screen goes white, and Fox screams for his life. A few moments of nothing and then suddenly, the ghost of his father comes out of fucking nowhere with "Don't ever give up my son." My jaw dropped hard. I was just about in a state of shock when he told Fox to follow him I had to scramble for the controller which was on the ground at that point.

It's not really known as one of the best twists or anything but damn it left an impression on me. It felt like Fox really got closure after their whole conversation and just those words of hearing how proud he was of Fox... Goddamn.

>>634519

I felt really bad. Not for her but for Otacon.

>>632926
>that Aerith theme during the following boss battle
That's what did it for me. Was mad as fuck.

The story ogf the flute player and his father in a Link to the Past always got me right in the feels. But then so did a lot of the Dark World NPCs, when you realize they've all been transofrmed after finding their way into hell.

>>634574

I agree. All the better when you beat the game and everyone is fixed.

>>634574
The scene where Link meets the flute player's father is punched up a few notches in the Link to the Past manga. I actually had to put down the book and wipe away a manly tear before proceeding.

But they they changed it so the flute kid ISN'T a weird dead tree thing, but rather an elf thing. So he's fine, and he and Link go on adventures. The dad isn't mentioned ever again at any point in the book.

>Chrono Trigger Lucca's mom

You damn localizationkiddies just have no idea of the TRUE horror of that scene. You might be familiar with the fact that Japanese doesn't distinguish L and R? Well her name is ララ in Japanese.

>try RARA
NOPE
>try LARA
NOPE

CORRECT!

Good luck getting that on your first try.

Does it show up as LALA in the instruction manual, or soemthing?

This scene. I was entirely full of feels after this whole thing. Alys' music for that was awesome, but so... sad.

Also, there's a moment in FFL1 for GB, where you find a room near the top of the Tower full of 'dead' sprites. If you examine one, you end up finding a diary that talks about the sprites.

They're all children except for the one. They starved to death and died because of the monsters. The music that happens after you find the diary is pretty wrenching too.

>>634570

Uh, which one? Hope not the first one, because Toki no Horousha is awesome.

I always got feels at the end of each mission in Legend of Mana. It could have even been a happy mission but something about the dead silence of the screen with some concept art really kicked me right in the feels.

When I had to tell Naomi that Gray Fox was dead

Not gonna lie, I cried bitch tears

This scene. The sprites showing a human face (well, one, at least) on a body transformed into that of a monster was like something out of an abstract nightmare--which emphasized the real chilling feel: your parents, the only people in the world who love you unconditionally, have lost their humanity, and with it, their ability to recognize and love you. Your own parents, barely recognizable, out to harm you... and you have to attack them to save yourself (even if it's not a "real" battle, narrative while, you came to blows).

That made me feel for a character I didn't care for otherwise.
