Dragon Quest VII/Tear Jerker


 * Not everything's resolved so happily, unfortunately. For example, Regenstein remains the same as the party left it, with each of its citizens still turned into stone. Fortunately, Felix is spared since he hid inside a secret hideout.
 * It later happens to Greenthumb Gardens, though thankfully it can be cured this time.
 * Of course, even though Greenthumb Gardens is saved, things don't entirely end well. The villager who left went and formed his own community nearby, named Wilted Heart - because he never married and never got to be with the woman who loved him.
 * The death of Rocky and Wiggles, both of which go down in a Heroic Sacrifice.
 * The death of Hybris's childhood friend, which drives him to become He Who Fights Monsters.
