People really downplay the actual saddest moment in PS1 History (Hint: it isn't from FF7) [Open Spoilers]
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
I felt more when Sniper Wolf shot Meryl, because she was in torment and you just left the scene for a long period of time. As a kid I really felt like I let her down and I thought she was dead for sure.
I clicked the thread sure it was about this.
I don't think many people played that game to be honest, which is a shame.
Silent Hill, Lisa's final realisation. That one messed me up. They achieved so much with so little.
On the other hand, MGS was so ham-fisted and melodramatic, even as a teen it did nothing for me.

A lot of good ones in this thread. I don't have a preference for saddest death though OP is up there... Lulu's death in Suikoden 3 was pretty emotional because he was like your little bother.
Suikoden II felt too sloppy for me to take its attempts at an emotional story seriously. (I didn't buy the conflict between the rivals, the child character that was trotted out to make "Joey" (?) feel bad, just felt weak to me). I wish my experience with the game had been a different one.
I'm sure there are better emotional gut punches from the era than Aerith and Vivi, but I can't recall any right now.

God damn. Silent Hill 1 is so good. This is just a reminder that I really need to replay it this year. I still think it's actually better than Silent Hill 2.
I thought that moment was when you realised the toothpick method of playing pirated PS1 games had effectively destroyed the cd drive of the systems and you had to buy a new playstation.
Nah. That time in Gran Turismo 2 when I was 0,01sec too slow for that hard ass licence was the most dramatic and heart breaking moment on PS1. No contest.
Yep came for this. I didn't even play MGS1 until 2014 and it was still an incredibly effective scene.
I should have worded differently to imply she did not self sacrifice
Interesting choice. I always found that scene a little weird just because of the context of it. Why Liquid Snake allows Gray Fox to deliver this big speech never made much sense to me and then once Liquid determines that he's done he squishes him like a bug which I thought was kind of funny. However this scene becomes absolutely hilarious/incredible in Twin Snakes:
Chrono Cross is like tragedy the game.
Everyone's saying Suikoden II, but this Suikoden III moment was heartbreaking the first time it happened, and is more tragic once you understand the backstory.

Lisa's final moments can be the most heartbreaking on my PS1 memories, after the Bad ending of SIlent Hill.
Cybil is dead because you didn't have the cure for the parasite and you have to kill her and Cheryl is gone forever.
