Quite a few examples here.

• The ending of Soul Nomad and The World Eaters. "So please... Gig. Just come back. Gig? Gig! GIIIIIG!!!" The credits music right afterward really drives it home.
  • As does the fact that Danette breaks down so slowly, which makes it so much more heartbreaking. She won't accept it at first, believing he'll be back again, like after your rematch with Feinne. As Revya tries to explain that Gig couldn't have survived, leading her to become more exasperated. And then come the tears. In two, well detailed, static images. Very sad. The irony that the character who hated Gig the most in the game's early stages is also the first to cry at his death helps to cement this scene's Tear Jerker status.
• The "victory" Median ending Revya contracts the Scarlet Iago and dies. As he/she dies, Gig is keeps telling him/her not to die, even saying that he could never replace Revya. He actually expresses concern over Revya as a person rather than just the fact that he's also going to die, which makes both of them dying and the souls ending up in Drazil's hands all the worse.
• Shauna's death. If you didn't feel for her, your heart is made of stone.
• Gestahl's final words to Reyva before his Heroic Sacrifice. Both the words, and the way he says them.

Gestahl: If I can grant my power to my child... then I have no regrets. I look forward to the new world you will create... the world you will lead. Hehe... hahaha!
