Ok, FFT has alot of death and murder it it so I was wondering which one did you all think was the most tragic/surprising/depressing.

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

I had two both in the ending, first I found it sad that everyone in you party except Ramza and Alma died, I liked some of the special characters, especially Agarias and Mustiado, alot more then Ramza, although the only reason I kept Rafa and Malak was for them to die in the end   and the second one was the tragic murder of Ovelia by her own damn husband Delita. Poor girl she had a rough game

was then killed by a rock the flew out of nowhere.
i wonder where the rock came from!

(no offense malak fans)

BG, I disagree with your interpretation of the ending, though that's for another topic.

My vote?

Teta. She didn't deserve it, and Algus took way too much pleasure in it.

I say Teta, too.  In many ways her death is a focal point in the plot; it is perhaps the one last straw that forced Delita into a bitter life of manipulation and hatred.  It also defined Algus' character as really hateable, and the ire I maintained for Algus surpasses that of most RPG villains. I would say that the death of the entire party is the most tragic, but it really depends on the interpretation of the ending.  There are a lot of runner-ups for me; for example, I thought Ovelia's death was the most surprising.  I'm also partial to the death of Izlude, a noble knight (blade?) who was just trying to do what was right, and was killed by his own father in the process.

I have to go with teta. At first i thought she had already been dead. But she came to and saved Delita instead of herself, or vise versa. It also made me mad since she was only in the game for a few hours and she got picked on at school.

Sorry folks, but I can't remember what the Spoiler tag was, so if an administrator sees this, please tag it for me, and let me know what the tag is.

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

Definitely Teta's.  I was so in disbeleif and shock, that when I played it again, I tried to revive her with Phoenix Downs and Revives...which obvioulsy didn't work.  Formt hat moment on, my hatred went towards Algus. Does everyone really die?  It doesn't offically say that does it?

Hey RM. All you need to do is do a [.spoiler] then the text, then a [./spoiler]. Without the dots though, I just put them there so it would actually work. And check out the help section sometime, eh?

it dosent officially say they dies but i mean come on the entire ship they were on blew up and they were all like 100+ in the blast range off a beast who is supoosed to be able to wipe out entire armys with the flick of its wrist, unless the zodiac stones saved them somehow im pretty sure there dead      

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

I think Ovelia's at the end..... because it shows soooooo much about Delita. You never realize that the guy is actually kinda twisted. Its like a huge kick in the mouth because, i mean, its Delita! And he kills her because he doesnt need her anymore, like an evil character. Great moment. Also, he tells Ovelia to trust him, that he would NEVER BETRAY HER, earlier in the game. I mean, thats just a huge bold-faced lie. heheheh.... Delita is so awesome. One of the BEST character in an RPG ever. All hail FFT!

I will go with Zalbag's death : he's killed by his beloved brother, after learning that his other brother killed their father...I don't know if anything can get much more dramatic.

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

Well if you want to be logical about it.  This game couldnt have really happened if Balbanes hadnt have died.  Murdered by his own son.(how sad )  Although, I think that if Teta hadnt have died, Delita might not have gone "crazy".  Ovelia really didnt deserve to die though.

I had a surprising death, i was at the gate at Riovanes Castle and there was an archer on a tall height, and my Priest girl gived a dash on her and she FELL!, she was with a great HP but the dashing plus the fell, she died.

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

The saddest death was Ovelia's (spelled?).  She was murdured by Delita, who you think is a good guy untill then.  I am also going to add that it can be compared to the death of a classic FF character: Terras mother from FF6.

Umm the reason why Ovelia was killed is because she had a dagger in her hand and stabbed Delita in the stomach, thats why she complains you'll betray me just like everyone else, and at the end he gos and kneels down while holding his stomach..Delita i think dies..

Just click SPOILER again at the end, or wait until you've written your whole spoiler, then select it and click the button. It does NOT WORK if you don't close the tag, and you should have edited it as soon as you saw this.
