Xenosaga/Heartwarming
< Xenosaga
- A bunch. For example, Allen's aforementioned Crowning Moment of Awesome. Also, Shion finally leaving Kevin for Allen, as well as a lot of the scenes between MOMO and Jr.
- The Virgil/Feb plotline in the third game. Love Hurts, and HOW, but it also Redeems. See here.
- MOMO meeting her father, Joachim Mizrahi, and learning that he wasn't the Mad Scientist that people thought he was.
- Butt Monkey of the series Allen gets one of these (and a simultaneous Crowning Moment of Awesome) in the third game of the series. Having had absolutely enough of being the powerless joke that EVERYONE considered him to be (whether they said it or not), he steps forward to stop a fight between the party and a duo of Shion and Kevin, who was Not Quite Dead and had used Shion's love for him to bait her into betraying the others. Calling Kevin out on his BS, he gets cracked with a blast of energy, and sent flying backwards. He gets back up, walks toward Kevin, finally confesses his feelings for Shion, and gives a speech that seems so cheesy, but coming from this specific character, it works perfectly. KOS-MOS joins the scene after Kevin cracks Allen again, and finally, Shion figures out who really loves her, and rejoins the team for the game's That One Boss battle. As cheesy as it was, this troper couldn't stop crying.
- After Shion's passed out from U-DO exposure, Jin comes into see her after she wakes. After a short conversation, Jin finally says that 'as long as you're all right' he won't object to her working so hard, and leaves. Then, you and Shion notice that he's left behind a packet of herbal medicine (as he was a doctor for a while), and Shion smiles as she remarks that he didn't have to do things in such a roundabout way. D'awwwwww...
- During the end of Episode III:
 |
Shion (hugs KOS-MOS/Awakened Mary): "I'm so glad...to have had the chance to meet the real you." |
