Sad, yes, never cried though. I understand why people cry at works of fiction, it's just not how I react. I rarely cry, not that I'd feel ashamed if I did more often.

Final Fantasy 9 has an undertone of sadness, the game is really emotional. The relationship between Zidane and Garnet, Freya and Sir Fratley, Vivi and the black mages, and Eiko has no family, except for the moogles.Of course, there are happy moments also. Steiner and Quina always make me laugh. The moogles are also funny.

I didn't think Aeris dying was sad when I was young, I thought she was annoying and weak. I wasn't really affected by the scene until I played Crisis Core, also a sad game. After seeing how they portrayed her in that game, it made me sad that to know she was going to die in FF7. I think the saddest part of FF7 is Cid's story, I mean just listen to his theme music. Oh, and Red XII also has a sad story.

I don't think I've cried but there have been some sad moments:

Mother 3 (SPOILERS):
- Hinawa's death so early in the game, plus Flint's reaction... Sad moment.
- The last battle of the game is sad too. Some of the messages that appear during the battle are depressing, like when Lucas can't hit Claus, the flashback with the babies, Flint almost dying and finally Claus commiting suicide... I find it sadder when I remember it than when I actually played though, not sure why.

Shigesato Itoi (creator of the MOTHER series) once said the saddest part of the last fight for him was when Hinawa told Claus he "must be exhausted." He said it almost felt like she was talking to him, to the player.

I cried during the pokemon movie

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War got me close to tears when Chopper dies .

That's the first one that comes to mind but I'm sure there are some other games that nearly got me crying...

This theme from Wind Waker and To Far Away Times from Chrono Trigger make the emotions churn too.

Chrono Cross. To this day cannot listen to Unstolen Jewel, because of the ending.

Oh and thanks for reminding me, fuckers... now cannot get it out of my head... it is a great song, but man, it has such an amazingly strong emotional effect on me, I can't describe it. I actually haven't listened to it for a decade, but as soon as I start thinking about it, it has the same effect.

EDIT: Looking through the thread it looks like a few people also mentioned Chrono Cross ending. Good to have company.

Alright i'll come clean due to overwhelming social pressure.

I got pretty welled up my first time through Star Ocean 2 right at the end of the first disc when that one boss wipes out your whole party and you get stranded on an island not knowing where the rest of your party is. Plus, Leon's parents got killed from it. Then just an hour after all of that, Expel get's wiped out and even though what's left of your party is ok, Claude knows what happened but can't tell Rena the truth! Did I mention that Claude, after spending the entire game trying to figure out how to get home, turned his back on his rescue-er, his father, and rejoined his friends knowing fully that he would be dying with them?

Now imagine all of that to some of Sakuraba's most gripping music.

The drama man the freaking drama

Best part is you still have another half of the game to go after all that. Second best JRPG ever.

No. I never played/saw/heard any game which can make me cry.
mostly I'm laughing, other cases - i don't care.
