Grandia 2 made me sad, but I would never cry at a video game.

 

[Femmeworth]

I cried because I spent 15 dollars on it.

I know the feel, I wish I could have spent $60 for it too.

 

[Gravijah]

I know the feel, I wish I could have spent $60 for it too.

i rented it. i'm the reason there's no nier 2! :'(

 

[MatthewB92]

The end of Episode 2 made me think "where the hell is Episode 3, this is the best (most aggravating) cliffhanger in a video game."

I had tears because of the end and because there was no trailer like episode 1 had for 2.

 

[hamchan]

I agree with Clannad.

I also agree with FFX. Ending was pretty damn sad, then the post credits made it a bit more happy. A damn great ending. Then FFX-2 ruined it.

 

[Emitan]

i rented it. i'm the reason there's no nier 2! :'(

I contributed to Nier more than you. And I didn't even like it. Hypocrite

 

[mutsu]

Was 428's story really that good?

Having just finished playing it like 2 weeks ago and still fresh in my mind, yes. The story is excellent, one of the best story I have played in videogame history.

 

[MiniDitka]

Deadly Premonition and FFX made me sad

 

[BY2K]

1. Final Fantasy X (Square Enix, PS2, 7/19/2001)

Spoony is smashing his keyboard in rage, right now.

That, or he's laughing mad.

[Snakeyes]

I cry tears of disappointment every time I see FFX near the top of a list.

Mother 3 and MGS3 are good picks, I almost teared up during the sad scenes.

 

[beastmode]

you should always be loyal to your country because enemies change with the times colonel volgin is gay and can shoot lightning out of his hands METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER

that... was beautiful :'(

 

[squall23]

Okami: "If you didn't cry at the end, you're not Japanese."

I'm not Japanese but I have to say I was beginning to tear up. That ending song just nailed it.

 

[Soma]

the ONE game that actually got me teary-eyed

Persona 4 on 12/3

oh my god

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Who was the one who had the tag that linked to Opoona vs. White Knight Famistu scores? It was something like, "That's just cold, son." Searching is no help.

 

[Alrus]

Apparently, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorer of Time/Darkness was a runner up? A pokemon game made people cry? (also wtf, I went to check the wikipedia article for that game and the plot part is like 2 pages long, I've never seen such a detailed plot summary for a game before >.>)

Tenbatsu

 

[Sinoox]

MGS3 definitely got me a bit chocked up at the end. The music, the writing, and the cinematography were perfect.

 

[ULTROS!]

No Suikoden II, Suikoden V, and Persona 4 makes me sad.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Tenbatsu

That was it. Hah.

 

[Bebpo]

Everyone who laughs at FFX being number 1 on that list played it in English. The poor dub work really destroyed the story for the western versions.

In a world where FFX has a film quality voice track for the English version, it'd probably be second to only FFVII in international popularity for the series. The Japanese version of FFX is a completely different experience.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Steins;Gate and MGS3 need to be higher. Also Steins;Gate is PC as well.

 

[Ravage]

I agree with the first one.

No FFVIII makes me sad though, I showed no emotion when playing XIII.

VIII is my favourite FF but is there really a scene with tear-jerking potential? Maybe at the end (because i don't want it to end).

 

[ULTROS!]

Yeah, the ending. One of the nicest endings though.

I didn't even feel sad in VII. Aerith looked like a bunch of blocks being stabbed.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

I approve of this list. Crisis Core ending was so fuckin sad.

 

[Snakeyes]

Everyone who laughs at FFX being number 1 on that list played it in English.

Well, laughing was the main highlight of the game.

And I doubt the experience would be much different unless you actually understand Japanese to enjoy the Hollywood-caliber voice acting.

 

[Thoraxes]

Nagisa ;_;

 

[krimsoncharge]

MGS 3 is 4 places too low.

 

[Wibblewozzer]

I admittedly cry easily for media, though rarely for anything around life events, so crying during an emotional moment in a game never seems odd to me. Sure, I cried at the end of Final Fantasy X, as seemingly many others did.

But I honestly can't remember anything sad about Okami, or at least feeling sad. Perhaps due to it being a wolf I didn't have a connection?

Also, first time I cried during a game was Illusion of Gaia. Poor pig

I must be in the minority, cause i found nothing wrong with the VO

 

[Yoshiya]

Well I guess Nier isn't completely forgotten. That's nice, I guess.

;_;

 

[Night_Trekker]

I seriously cried like a baby.

 

[walking fiend]

Only time I can remember a game making me literally cry, was the ending of SMG story book, I felt like a was a little child once again, it was so charming.

I must be in the minority, cause i found nothing wrong with the VO

FFX was one of the few games/movies/etc that I felt like English VO was as good as good Japanese, really top notch.

It also made me really sad, story and character development were amazing in FFX, the best I have ever experienced.4

---
didn't 'felt' anything particular at the MGS3 ending, though I preferred I didn't had to do it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Famitsu readers must be very young.

Obligatory.

 

[Syph Medwes]

Only game to ever elicit my tears.
(MGS4 for those unfamiliar with the pic)

 

[Thoraxes]

Obligatory.

I watched some of the stuff before that, and holy shit the JP VA work is 10000000x better.

It's like a completely different feeling game that i'm now going to import it.

 

[Xater]

Hmm MGS4 might be the only game from this list that at least made my eyes wet. All these RPG stories are such sappy shit that it rather makes me groan than cry.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Wtf? No fucking game ever made me cry.

Spoiler

The only 2 movies that almost made me cry are "The Lion King" and "Titanic".

Surprisingly, movies have never made me cry. I watched Lion King too young, so I didn't comprehend exactly what was going on I think.

Toy Story 3, on the other hand... so close. So close.

 

[AllenShrz]

Famitsu readers must be very young.

Also too much animu.

 

[Aeana]

Lots of games have made me cry. I think I'd put the first ending to Lunar 2 on the top of my list.

I ruined TS3 for me. I read too many reviews. I didn't know what will happen but i know the ending will be sad.

Taglines like "What is it about Toy Story 3 that makes grown men cry?" made me curious but the ending did nothing for me. Maybe i was too prepared...

or i have no soul

 

[Regulus Tera]

Also too much animu.

I don't see why that's a problem. There are genuinely tear-jerking animu out there. Too bad that 95 percent of it is eh.

 

[sonicmj1]

FFX and HL2 Episode 2 brought me really close to tears.

 

[Nessus]

Mother 3 is the only one on that list that made me cry.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Seriously don't think any game has ever made me cry.
The closest I've come is at the end of Xenosaga 3. And even that didn't make me tear up, I just got slightly emotional.

I really couldn't see myself ever crying over a game with the way they tell stories these days.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Mother 3 and Terranigma

 

[Aeana]

Have you played Mother 3?
