Line 12:
** The part before the Tower that gets this troper each time is the conversation with Jade, who has just {{spoiler|proposed that Luke commit mass suicide, rather than Asch}}. Luke asks Jade if that's really what he thinks is best, expecting a 'yes'. Jade does say yes, and then...
{{quote| '''Jade:''' That's what I would say if I was an emperor, with a country and people to look after. As your friend... I feel compelled to stop you.}}
*** What got me was hearing Jade actually saying [[OOC Is Serious Business|"I'm sorry."]] to Luke. [[Wham! Line|Never saw that one coming.]]
* The ending. {{spoiler|First with "You have to come home. You have to! I'll be waiting... always" and then the happy tears after the credits.}}
** That ending actually affects this troper more than anything else she's played; {{spoiler|depending on how you interpret it, it's a big case of [[Downer Ending]] or [[Bittersweet Ending]] because Luke ''dies.'' This troper did the contamination sidequest and choked when Jade says the only things that will be left of Luke are his ''memories.'' It doesn't help that after the credits, everyone's happy (save for Jade, whose really ambigous expression can be interpreted as happy or not so much) and thinks it really IS Luke.}}
Line 66:
** Even sadder when you realize that this happens in the past timeline. Cue to the future, {{spoiler|Karell's soul got kicked from the Swordian to be replaced by Miktran, ''the very guy he sacrificed his life to defeat'', and then used to manipulate Hugo Gilchrist and caused all the troubles in the first series. You can't help but to feel sorry to ''both'' the Berseliuses.}}
** First game, Mary recovering her memories and talking about them with her husband. The whole scene is sad, sad, SAD. It's even sadder when he tries to kill her and the rest of the party. And it worse when he dies. This goes DOUBLE when you consider that Mary was a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] and the happiest party member. It got this troper both times he played the game.
** Another from the sequel, when the realization hits that if the party achieves their goal of destroying the goddess Fortuna, time will be rewritten so that everything that was caused or influenced by her, directly or indirectly, never happened- meaning {{spoiler|the party, save for Kyle and Loni, will have never met, and none of them will remember the journey or each other. Not only that, but Reala and Judas, who only exist because of Fortuna, will [[Ret -Gone|never have existed in the first place]], and they both knew this all along. Granted, Reala does recover in the ending, Judas is implied to have survived somehow, and you can visit the 9-year-old Nanaly, but it's still a pretty emotional moment.}}
