I thought that was normal Mexico. Old Mexico if you will.
It's pretty much this. But not just for Persona 4, any game that makes me really sad that it's over is a good sign that it's going to stick in my memory for a loooong time. Recently had this with the last Witcher 3 DLC.
I actually came to say this exact thing. I can remember the first time it happened like yesterday, surreal.

When I heard "Weiss, you dumbass!" for the first time.

Happened in many chapters for me. I second The Phantom Pain and A Link Between Worlds but I can't point at the precise moments. Maybe in Zelda it was the Thief Dungeon with that music, but in the end every dungeon gave me that "masterpiece" feeling.

When Elise finally kissed Sonic
The Last of Us

That moment right there is when I realized this game's story IMO has reached the next level. So nuanced and confident in its story and I loved it. I remember just leaning back on my chair and just out loud said "wow".

Right at the end when Joel and Ellie have that conversation and how Ellie asked Joel to swear about the fireflies is true. Joel answers and Ellie says "okay" and then cut to black.

Symphony of the night.
The church organ, the choir, beautiful background and animations.

When I started to realize there was some cosmic stuff going on in Bloodborne, in that moment I thought this game will be a masterpiece.
I cant remember exactly at what moment tho, maybe when I fought the Celestial Emissary, or earlier, or when I saw Ebrietas, or when I did a gesture to the moon, or when I learned how to play with the Chikage, or when I beated Father G, or when I speaked with Patches the Spider, or when I destroyed Defiled Amygdala no hurt, ........

Yep. The best game of the generation for me. Nothing has topped it since.

After "Fall" ends in TLOU, you know you're playing something beyond special.
For me, once disc 3 begins in FFIX, the game takes that next step into GOAT territory.
Lastly (though I could go on all day), Dark Souls. There are multiple junctures where the GOAT impression kicks in, but mine was when you first tread into the Royal Wood and stumble upon Artorias. The way everything linked up in my mind - and the realization of what lies ahead - gave me chills.

Apotheosis, both the music and the moment, in Journey
The village in Uncharted 2
If nothing before it, then surely playing the final Bowser level in Super Mario Galaxy
Fighting The End in Metal Gear Solid 3 for more than two hours
Riding into the Skellige wilderness and hearing The Fields of Ard Skellig

Getting to the Winter section of TLOU stands out big.

The moment I stepped out of the Imperial Sewers for the first time in Oblivion.
The moment when I realized Witcher 3's 10 minute "Devil by the Well" tutorial sidequest had a more interesting story than most games can muster in 10 hours.
The moment Red Dead Redemption's ending title card hit.

Yogg-Saron releasing as a real card in Hearthstone.
The moment in Final Fantasy 4 when Fabul was being bombed and attacked by soldiers. Never experienced anything like it in a game.
Ending of the opening in Last of Us
When I got to Zeal in Chrono Trigger and heard Corridors of Time
First time I was low in ammo in Resident Evil and was scared because of it.
First time I walked around in Dragon Quest 8's overworld with its epic score and incredible looking landscapes.

When Frederica cried out Raquna's name in fear after watching her die. And then Arthur panickly shouting "What are we going to do now?!?" when he watched Frederica die the very next turn.

I promise not enough RPG's have your team react in real time when one of your friends dies.

When this dude tears away the credits and you get an extra half a game. I might play this tonight actually.

When you escape the fight at the beginning of Assassin's Creed 2, and then you have to race your buddy up to the top of the church, and the camera pans out and gives you a view over Florence as the title placard comes out... that was a pretty magical effect.

I loved that game. It was an amazing experience.
Portal 1 towards the beginning of the game once you've completed all the trails and you are supposed to be decommissioned.
When I called Sigint while in the box/ wearing naked camo in MGS3. Also when I fought The End. Always getting shot by him, but just learning his moves, learning his pattern, predicting where he might go only to be wrong. There were so many times when I thought I had learned everything about that boss fight, only for there to be one new thing to surprise me.
Came just to post this. Coming out into the Gaur Plains is a moment of sheer splendour and grandeur.
