Line 8:
** ''All'' of him is a [[Tear Jerker]]. {{spoiler|Balthier}} recounts how, years ago, the man was a good father and devoted to his family... until he began {{spoiler|researching the stones}}. And by the end of the game, we've learned that {{spoiler|this was because Venat chose him to carry out his plot, and Cid himself believed he was doing the right thing freeing humanity from the Occuria}}. So, [[Fridge Brilliance|we're subtly told]] that {{spoiler|Cid went insane and neglected his family ''because'' he wanted to make a better world for them}}... even if he was too far gone by the end for it to make any difference.
* When {{spoiler|Judge Gabranth}} dies in the ending, and asks {{spoiler|his brother to look after Larsa, the only person he cared about...}}
* {{spoiler|Fury's}} death scene.
* THE CREDITS. UGGGGHHHH. Every single picture makes you think of how much these character's lives were ruined. Rasler and Ashe? {{spoiler|He's dead, and she's [[Lonely Atat the Top|all alone]] and is no longer the happy little girl she apparently once was.}} Vaan and Penelo? {{spoiler|All their family is dead.}} Balthier and Fran? {{spoiler|She can no longer return to her home and family, and his father is crazy and dead.}} Al-Cid? {{spoiler|Oh wait, he's got a ton of girls, nevermind.}} Basch and {{spoiler|Noah}}? {{spoiler|Separated for years, and now one's dead, the other is still seen as a traitor and is stuck as Noah's replacement.}} Vayne and Larsa? {{spoiler|Vayne died fighting for an ''essentially'' noble cause, and Larsa has no family left and the weight of an empire on his young shoulders.}} Cid? {{spoiler|BAWWWWWW UGHHHH LOOK AT HIM AND BABY BALTHIER! *sob*}} The somewhat cheerful music somehow makes this all so much worse, like you're looking at how things ''should'' have been. Yeah, good luck making it to the end of the credits without feeling depressed.
