When a game series' taglines are "No crying until the end", and "Strange, Funny, Heartrending", you know you have a series with immense Tear Jerkers on your hands.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Mother/Earthbound 0
- The Eight Melodies. No matter how it's covered, be it 8-bit, rock, or orchestral, it expertly conveys the sense of childhood adventure. It subtly invokes fear, innocence, heartbreak, and hope, all at once. There's a reason so many professional covers exist.
- The idea of the Eight Melodies in the game in general. Think about it; A childhood antique doll that used to be played with a ton of times, a mother bird and her baby separated by humans who didn't know any better, a monkey who's caged and locked up in a zoo, a dusty old piano that plays on its own, a lone cactus in an empty desert where a war happened and exterminated the rest of its friends, a dragon who's been sleeping away its life, a robot companion who defends you from everything, and lastly, the tombstone of your dead and loving grandfather who built the robot companion knowing that you might need it someday.
- Oh god I'm crying like my parents are being murdered in front of me.
- Queen Mary's final scene. Her story in general is tear-jerking.
- " Giegue! I loved him..."
- Teddy's near-death at the hands of R7038.
No crying until the end. |
