03:24afterlife saying goodbye one final time fuck you kefka
03:41class zero final fantasy type zero
03:56final fantasy type zero builds its story around the brutal reality of war showing the conflict
04:01through the eyes of class zero students who are trained from the beginning to fight and die for
04:05their nation throughout the game it becomes clear that these teenagers are treated less like people
04:09and more like expendable weapons in a war that seems destined to repeat forever seems like an
04:14allegory the tragedy reaches its peak during the finale after a massive final battle class zero
04:20finally manages to break the endless cycle and secure peace for the world but the victory comes at a
04:25devastating cost nearly every member of the group dies together shortly after the fight what makes the

05:48rex final fantasy 12
05:54steady rex
05:56keep your wits about you and you'll make it
05:59we move
06:00the opening tutorial of final fantasy 12 places players in control of rex
06:04the older brother of the game's eventual protagonist van rex is a young soldier serving under captain barsh during an
06:10assault on nalbina fortress
06:11the mission seems straightforward at first but during the chaos of the battle rex becomes separated from the rest of
06:16his unit and discovers the aftermath of the ambush
06:19his comrades and the king already dead
06:21moments later he encounters barsh and watches in horror as the captain appears to murder the king himself
06:26believing his commanding officer has betrayed their nation rex is stabbed and left dying
06:31what he never truly learns is the truth the killer was actually barsh's twin brother
06:35gabrinth framing him for treason rex dies believing he exposed a traitor
06:40it's disturbing for the player in many ways
06:42you have lost
06:44thou masker is the property of the empire now
06:48and think we intended to let you keep some of your sovereignty
06:52out of respect
06:54joshua final fantasy 16
07:09joshua's death at the end of final fantasy 16 is pretty disturbing because of how personal
07:12and quiet it feels compared to the game's otherwise colossal battles
07:16don't make us slow down and feel you absolute bastards
07:19throughout the story joshua fake dies comes back carries the burden of being the dominant of the phoenix
07:24and constantly pushes his body beyond what can be endured
07:26by the finale he's already weakened from years of strain and sacrifice
07:30during the final confrontation joshua uses the last of his power to save clive and help defeat ultima
07:36fully aware that doing so will kill him
07:37the scene is painful because joshua is calm
07:40almost peaceful as he fades
07:42clive desperately tries to save him but there's nothing left to restore
07:45for a moment the world saving victory feels hollow
07:48because it cost the life of someone who spent the entire game trying to protect others
07:52there's a debate on whether his death is final but we don't have time to get into it
07:56let's just say he's dead so i don't have to pick another entry
07:59and now we can become one
08:03guys
08:06don't speak
08:07shh
08:10shh
08:10galaf final fantasy 5
08:19final fantasy 5 contains one of the series most powerful death scenes with the sacrifice of galaf
08:25in many rpgs character deaths raise an awkward question
08:28why don't the party simply use healing magic or a phoenix down to revive them
08:33galaf's final moment answers that directly
08:35during the battle against x death the rest of the party is quickly defeated leaving galaf alone
08:40despite being reduced to zero hit points he somehow forces himself back to his feet and continues fighting
08:46it becomes a desperate one-on-one struggle where galaf keeps attacking through sheer f*** you power
08:52refusing to fall even though he should already be dead
08:54x death is stunned that someone with no life left can still fight and eventually retreats
09:00when the party regains consciousness they rush to save galaf using every healing spell and revival item they have
09:05none of it works
09:07galaf pushed his body past its absolute limits
09:10leaving nothing left to restore this adds an interesting lore element to the series
09:14that fixes a pretty huge plot hole you can't go to the local cemetery and start dropping phoenix downs
09:19thank god
09:26zack crisis core final fantasy 7
09:34one of the biggest twists in final fantasy 7 is the revelation that cloud was never the elite soldier he
09:40claimed to be
09:41his memories are fractured with zack fair actually being the focus of a lot of the moments he believed involved
09:46him
09:46in reality after escaping together zack sacrifices himself to protect the weakened cloud with this being the event that forces
09:53cloud's brain to
09:54retcon his own memories the psp spin-off game crisis core final fantasy 7
09:59expands that moment into one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the series
10:03knowing his fate makes the entire story feel tragic from the very beginning but in the final battle we learn
10:08that we know nothing about tragedy
10:10zack faces an entire shinra army alone and as he is gradually overwhelmed flashes of the friends he made including
10:17eric appear in his fading memories
10:19with his last strength zack entrusts the buster sword to cloud setting up the main game through my tears
10:34zack
10:39here gunner
10:46live
10:56the death of eric gainsborough in final fantasy 7
10:59was designed to be one of the most shocking moments in video game history
11:03while the twist has become widely known over the years the scene still carries emotional weight for players who grew
11:08attached to the flower cellar from the slums
11:11after the events at the temple of the ancients eric leaves the party on her own mission
11:15cloud and the others eventually track her to the forgotten capital and it's there that we lose her in the
11:19most disturbing way possible
11:20instantly
11:21just as cloud reaches her a figure resembling sephiroth
11:24ascends from above and drives a blade straight through her
11:28killing her instantly
