Realize that the two little kids from the flashback are now among those cloaked folk...


I just remember just half-paying attention and had to check what they were saying a couple of times to put it together, and when I did, I remember going oh dang, that really sucks... just a minor moment that stuck with me, yes there are plenty of sad moments, that's just the one that stuck with me.

Zack died on his way to see Aerith again after they had been apart for four years. It's even worse when you consider that he made it so close to Midgar when Shinra finally got him.

When Sephoroth dies. Lol

Looking back, I would say that the biggest moment for me is when they found the monster at the reactor near neibleheim(sp.)

That's what started everything. Also, this deals with vincent, because vincent was genetically engineered by the person who created Sepheroth.

LOL, good, cuz I was like, WTF?!

Also, another sad moment is realizing just how easy Final Boss is, you (if your like me) prepared for it, and attempted to beat Emerald and Ruby (I failed first playthrough, miserably) and then going to go to the Cave and kicking his rump.

For me it's when Red XIII finally learns the truth about his father in Cosmo Canyon, great scene.

My runner-up would also be with Red XIII near the end of the game when he doesn't understand what's happened to his grandpa (if you go back to visit Cosmo Canyon just before heading out to the finale).

I'm not putting a spoiler warning on this. If you're looking at this forum, you KNOW all this.

At CoN, we do our game-specific forums only for games that we cover - this is therefore an FF7 forum, and it appears you have spoilers for some of the sequels. You might want to spoiler those.

cloud was never really a SOLDIER 1st Class sad.gif yeah Aeriths death was pretty sad along with Seto and Bugenhagen... red kinda just gets boned. vincents woman... its more dramatic after DoC. but i have to say for me it lessened Clouds Hardcoreness. but then again he manages to kill the greatest SOLDIER EVER without actually being a 1st class... so i guess that makes him more BA in that sense but still... no official first class is depressing

Yeah I was wondering if someone was actually gonna to say that! Probably got missed cuz it was so early on in the game.

When REDXIII sees his dead father and his tune starts playing.


It's usually the music and not what's actually happening that makes it sad. If that didn't have that music in it then you'd be like: meh.

When you find out that no matter how hard you try. Aeris is going to die everytime you play the game back through.


Bummer.

Zack. As you find out more about him.



I don't think that Cloud finding out more about himself is sad at all. Just enlightening.

I really sobbed hard when Zack died.

I even screamed "NOOOOO!" when that shinra soldier just looked up on him and starting shooting at his face.

This might sound awkward, but my saddest moment was when my discs started getting scratched, I'd play the game and it'd show a black screen with the error sound repetitively.

There's some really good moments posted here. My top saddest, apart from the Aeris one, would be Seto's story. It has a good build-up in the underground Gi cave.

There's plenty of moments where you see Aeris again; in the church, the City of the Ancients and at the end. It's saddening to see the character's responses. They certainly don't forget about her. That's something fairly uncommon in games even today.

There's also the moment when Elmyra reads of her husbands death. The music is quite sad at that part, the speech is short, and the way that the room switched back and forward in time is very innovative. When she gets the letter, and finally acknowledges he's dead, it moves quickly. It's similar to how you feel when you first hear the death of somebody close to you. Very clever.
