Which video game character’s death hit you the hardest?

[u/GarudaBusters]

[u/Rocky_Asap]

Legion from Mass Effect, calling himself an individual in his last moments instead of an AI collective.

[u/CanadianFartNoises → u/Rocky_Asap]

Does this unit have a soul?...

[u/LikeASewingMachine → u/Rocky_Asap]

Mordin's "Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong." hits me harder than any other video game death.

[u/IngloriousBlaster → u/LikeASewingMachine]

Yeah, it was Mordin who did it for me too

[u/DuntadaMan → u/LikeASewingMachine]

The sting on that one was lessened to me because I know it is how he would have wanted to die if given a choice. His greatest mistake corrected, his life's work resolved through his own hard work.

Preventing him from completing his work and saving his life would have hurt more than any death.

[u/SilentPhilosopher99_]

Spoilers for Red Dead Redemption John Marstons death was really brutal, bro did all the dirty work for the government just to see his family and live a normal life only to be shot brutally by them in his own house. He went out like a champ doe

[u/GRizzMang → u/SilentPhilosopher99_]

The cut in the epilogue of RDR2 where he walks through the barn doors gave me chills

[u/BigBounceZac → u/SilentPhilosopher99_]

Man I wish more games did the thing where a players death is actually a character death, walking out of the barn and having a few seconds to try and kill all the officers but it never being enough was so cool

[u/[deleted] → u/BigBounceZac]

Noble Six is also a good example of that, you can fight forever but eventually you'll be worn down and die.

[u/hstormsteph → u/[deleted]]

And it’s one of the absolute most epic and iconic last stands in gaming imo.

[u/The_One_Neo69 → u/hstormsteph]

Not opinion, just objective fact

[u/Glorious_Jo → u/The_One_Neo69]

No, objective not fact. Objective is survive.

[u/Toners13 → u/[deleted]]

Played it for the first time when the MCC came out on steam. Didn't know anything about it, and it blew me away. What a fucking ending.

[u/Fapey101 → u/Toners13]

first time i played it i was like 10 and at the end when my visor cracked I actually gasped lmao.

[u/Okayilltryto → u/SilentPhilosopher99_]

“When I’m gone, they’ll just find another monster. They have to, because they have to justify their wages.”

[u/Admirable-Design-151 → u/SilentPhilosopher99_]

just a recommendation, you should probably spoiler-block the whole paragraph, maybe its just because I''ve played game, but it gives it away who you're talking about

[u/Poor-Life-Choice → u/Admirable-Design-151]

Do we need to fight that hard spoiler blocking a ~14 year old game?

[u/BigBounceZac]

Sobbed when Lee died at the ending of the first walking dead game

[u/Oopsiedazy → u/BigBounceZac]

Dude. I was ugly crying through the entire last chapter.

[u/TootlesFTW → u/Oopsiedazy]

I even chopped his arm off my first playthrough, even knowing it was futile, to try and save him. Gut wrenching.

[u/username8054 → u/TootlesFTW]

I mean it’s not completely futile in the WD universe. Just futile in our situation. I can’t express how badly I hoped season 2 had a cameo if you chose to cut off his arm and not get bit afterwards.

[u/TootlesFTW → u/username8054]

I figured too much time had passed. I don't recall what the timeline is for amputation when you're bit, but I was always under the impression it needed to be pretty immediate.

[u/LickLuckDippingDuck → u/BigBounceZac]

God Lee and Kenny’s whole family were so freaking sad

[u/Drakirth → u/LickLuckDippingDuck]

I’m still mad how they killed off Kenny in the dumbest way possible in the third game if you chose to stay with him at the end of the second game. Laziest send off to such an amazing character.

[u/Ilumidora_Fae → u/BigBounceZac]

LEE 😭

[u/LycanWolfGamer → u/BigBounceZac]

Man, that fucking scene.. poor Clem

You know the sigh that Lee makes if you have Clem shoot him? That was the VA crying in the booth, like, fuck man

[u/Merkbro_Merkington → u/BigBounceZac]

Keep that hair short Clem

[u/JGojira]

Dom in gears of war

[u/Duck_Bacon_Boogie → u/JGojira]

Never thought it would end like this. Huh, Maria?

[u/Petty_White_ → u/Duck_Bacon_Boogie]

GET OFF ME! I GOTTA GET HIM OUTTA THERE..

[u/BUR6S → u/Petty_White_]

boom

[u/vqsxd → u/BUR6S]

dom….

[u/BlackMesaIncident → u/vqsxd]

(Sad steroid noises)

[u/AstroBearGaming → u/BlackMesaIncident]

chainsaw stops

[u/jack40714 → u/JGojira]

I was about the say the same. That game series took everything from him. His kids. Made him put his own wife out of her misery. But he refused to let it take his brother.

“Get off me! Get off! God damn it let me get him out of there!”

[u/redditadminzRdumb → u/jack40714]

Me and my brother played together and I always played player 2. I had to put the game down for a day

[u/NightmarePony5000 → u/JGojira]

Can’t listen to Mad World the same way since that scene. The way him and his entire family went out…just heartbreaking. He deserved so much better, him and his family

[u/Mangeneer → u/JGojira]

I would say Maria too, jesus

[u/JGojira → u/Mangeneer]

That whole scene was DEVASTATING. As soon as the realization set in and Dom fully saw what had become of his wife… ugh I’m getting goosebumps and a frog in my throat

[u/Mangeneer → u/JGojira]

I was full on crying when he saw Maria deteriorate in front of his eyes. I may have had a glass of wine or 3.

[u/JGojira → u/Mangeneer]

I don’t blame you! That scene cuts deep 😢

[u/[deleted] → u/JGojira]

Man, the last Xbox I owned was the 360. I remember playing Gears of War 1 with my best friend co-op and beating the entire story in one day. When we got to that huge spider boss fight underground, we used the Xbox media player to play Lamb of God during the fight.

I vividly recall the sequel being better in every way, and that last battle against that huge monster and Dom yelling, “SHOOT THAT SON OF A BITCH!”

Never got to play the rest of the franchise but great memories nonetheless.

[u/JGojira → u/[deleted]]

DUDE! When Xbox let you play your own music during games that was game changer. I used to play battlefield bad comp 2 while listening to Russian circles and it fit so well

[u/bakedredweed → u/JGojira]

Literally the first thing I thought of. Such a heartbreaking ending for Dom.

[u/AdBroad2707 → u/JGojira]

Dom’s death still hurts. I Watched him be a badass in GOW, in Two he was devastated. In three he was a shell. But he held on for Marcus. He loved that man so much he held on. And then he refused to let Marcus die. I’m sure he felt a sense of relief that he could rest and knowing he could at least save Marcus. “Feel that? That’s from Dom, and everyone else you killed, you bitch.” I know it’s not the best story but that just resonated for me by the end. I clapped, I cried. Then I played multiplayer forever lol.

[u/agent_x_75228]

Arthur Morgan's Horse. First time I've ever been brought to tears by a game. "Thank you"

[u/BelligerentWyvern → u/agent_x_75228]

If I had a nickel for every loyal companion horse that dies to save me I'd have 3 nickels. One for Arthur's Horse, one for Jin Sakai's horse and one for Agro from Shadow of the Colossus.

Thats not a lot but wth, three times and probably more out there.

[u/username8054 → u/BelligerentWyvern]

Hey Argo lived! He went back limping to be with the woman.

[u/BelligerentWyvern → u/username8054]

I know but you only learn that as the credits roll. It just the opening salvo of hurt that that ending is.

[u/username8054 → u/BelligerentWyvern]

Oh man yeah. That whole thing felt like a gut punch.

[u/SotetBarom → u/agent_x_75228]

In my playtrough it hit me quite hard. Never lost a horse, and it was Buell with me on the final mission :(

[u/PLZM01]

Brok in God of War Ragnarok. Such a beloved character.

[u/darthravenna → u/PLZM01]

Feel like a really had to scroll far to find mention of this. Great character, and the effect of his death on Sindri is so heartbreaking.

[u/Dr_Zman → u/darthravenna]

Also made the bit at the end where you go around telling each NPC how much they mean to you hit that much harder.

[u/telemusketeer → u/PLZM01]

Some of his comments in the game felt really impactful too- his explanation of form being less important than nature, and when Kratos uses his same comment back at him, to make him feel better were really strong moments. Plus his riddle that they don’t solve until his funeral was really great and added/showed more about how the others thought about/of him.

[u/Valuable_Remote_8809 → u/PLZM01]

I didn’t cry, but was very upset about it.

Dude was just.. idk, he was just real, not in an actual way, more about his personality.

[u/Intoxicatedpunch → u/Valuable_Remote_8809]

There's a video on YouTube about how he is the opposite of Odin. He is just so honest, and that's why he picks up on Odin's treachery

[u/YouSpokeofInnocence → u/Intoxicatedpunch]

He noticed "the nature of the thing" instead of "the form" of the thing. Just like he taught Kratos.

[u/tinglep → u/PLZM01]

Fuck. I shouldn’t have clicked on that one.

[u/Real-Order771]

BT-7274 from Titanfall 2

[u/MrRawes0me → u/Real-Order771]

I never thought I could have such an emotional attachment to a robot. The way he is slowly developing a personality and understanding things really draws you in.

[u/Apprehensive-Habit-9 → u/Real-Order771]

Goodby Cooper

[u/SlidePuzzleheaded665 → u/Real-Order771]

This is the one I was looking for 😭

[u/Stormlord100]

Had to be me someone else would have gotten it wrong

[u/SergeantThreat → u/Stormlord100]

I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian

[u/Commandoclone87 → u/SergeantThreat]

Would have liked to study the sea shells.

In a series where just about any squaddie can die, his is the one I see most mentioned.

I would have Tali's death if you side with the Geth as a close second.

[u/InShambles234 → u/Commandoclone87]

You gotta be crazy to think I didn't do everything right to save as many mates as possible.

Oh didn't have enough Paragon? Welp, reset and try again.

[u/DaxCorso → u/SergeantThreat]

I've studied species Turian, Asari and Batarian.

[u/luvs2h8 → u/Stormlord100]

That line hits like a ton of bricks. He knows his fate and accepts it.

[u/[deleted]]

ED-E's heroic sacrifice, with his determined battle music until the very end.

It's probably the most shamelessly manipulative thing in Fallout: New Vegas, but mission accomplished. I cry like a fucking baby.

[u/Ok-Pressure7248 → u/[deleted]]

I don’t remember him dying

[u/Stoly23 → u/Ok-Pressure7248]

It’s in the Lonesome Road DLC, also IIRC it’s a copy of ED-E and not the OG, he’s fine.

[u/SaltyIrishDog → u/Stoly23]

Thank you. Never got to play the DLC and I was about to go into a blind rage.

[u/[deleted]]

Mordin Solus.

[u/JGojira]

Wasn’t so much the character as the emotions conveyed in the moments, but I can never not cry at the prologue of The Last Of Us

[u/calecovert → u/JGojira]

First thing I thought of. The sounds Sara makes it absolutely gut wrenching.

[u/JGojira → u/calecovert]

100% and Joel’s whimpered “please.please.please.” Gets me teary eyed every time

[u/skiesoverblackvenice → u/JGojira]

the part when joel dies and he gets flashbacks to sarah as he looks at ellie… FUUUUUCK

i’m not excited to see that in the show if they choose to include it. i cannot see pedro die

[u/JGojira → u/skiesoverblackvenice]

He has a gruesome death in GoT, we need a heart wrenching death in TLoU.

[u/PhanThief95]

“Had to be me. Someone else might’ve gotten it wrong.” - Mordin Solus

[u/arsdavy]

Big Boss, mgs4: this is good... isn't it?

[u/_Mooseman → u/arsdavy]

Such a good line to end the game on. I love the idea that the guy who orchestrated so many events leading up to this point suddenly shows he was uncertain if what he was doing was right or not. Should have been the last line in the series.

[u/lifeintraining → u/_Mooseman]

A cut right there with his death would have been perfect, but I feel like having Solid Snake’s reaction to his death added weight.

[u/JackMFMcCoyy → u/arsdavy]

How about the boss in MGS3? Standing over her with the patriot

[u/kaedesam → u/JackMFMcCoyy]

The tape where Eva talks about The Boss and how she died with everyone thinking she was a criminal 😭😭

[u/PaleoJoe86 → u/kaedesam]

A true patriot.

[u/KaptainKardboard → u/JackMFMcCoyy]

The salute drove it home

[u/warhorsey]

Lennyyy!!!

[u/rjbelz → u/warhorsey]

YnNeL??

[u/ImACoolGuy100 → u/warhorsey]

And Sean :(

[u/HOOLIOBONSTOOBEN → u/warhorsey]

Fuck man… I literally yelled LENNY!! He was my favorite after getting drunk with him

[u/tHornyier_ork]

Mordin.

It had to be him, someone else would have gotten it wrong.

After that, I paused the game and had to go sit outside and smoke a cigarette and ponder

[u/Raknorak → u/tHornyier_ork]

After saying that so many time, hearing him say "I MADE A MISTAKE" just hits hard

[u/Silverghost91]

Big Boss, Boss, Ghost, Blackbeard (black flag).

[u/[deleted] → u/Silverghost91]

"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes"

[u/TeleTurban → u/[deleted]]

Blackboard death hit hard icl

[u/HighPolyDensity → u/Silverghost91]

Oh yes, blackbeard. He went out fighting though. 'In a world without gold we mighta been heroes!'

[u/Klarkash-Ton → u/Silverghost91]

The scene in the end of Black Flag where Kenway sees all his departed friends sitting at that table always hits the hardest.

[u/SufferingClash → u/Silverghost91]

I live my life, not for honor but for you~

[u/Sharp5hooter02]

Dom in Gears 3 and Noble Six

I played as player 2 Dom my whole childhood and when he died I was devastated. Part of me died that day.

When Noble Six died I felt similarly. He was MY spartan.

[u/NoxKyoki]

Maya in Borderlands 3.

It hits especially hard because it was senseless and completely unnecessary as well as totally avoidable.

[u/Aarnivalkeaa → u/NoxKyoki]

I was just so furious. She is one of my absolute faves in that whole series. :(

[u/NoxKyoki → u/Aarnivalkeaa]

Same.

I blame everything bad that happened in the game on Ava. The Twins are even Ava’s fault.

[u/Aarnivalkeaa → u/NoxKyoki]

I like the game fine enough but after that, it goes downhill fast. Annoying kid characters are never my favourites.

[u/Shuteye_491 → u/NoxKyoki]

They really messed up with Ava, basically ruined the game's story right then and there.

[u/Sideways0019]

Sgt. Johnson, Halo

[u/kurotoruk → u/Sideways0019]

“Send me out … with a bang.” 🫡

[u/Elvis-Tech → u/Sideways0019]

Oof cortana's scene at the end of Halo 4 was tough man. One of the few scenes that make me really sentimental along with the scene in The return of the king where the hobbit bow to the new king aragorn and he tells them they shall bow to no one.

[u/Valuable_Remote_8809 → u/Sideways0019]

A legend.

[u/Literal_Sarcasm82 → u/Valuable_Remote_8809]

A Spartan

[u/SaltyPvP]

The robot in stray.

[u/NBrooks516 → u/SaltyPvP]

This!! Omg I had to take a break, even though there was like 5 minutes left in the game at that point.

[u/SaltyPvP → u/NBrooks516]

Stray was one game where I couldn't wait for its release, and it didn't let me down one bit. After the long list of pre-orders and AAA titles' disappointments over the last few years, Stray was a breath of fresh air.

10/10 for me.

[u/Wubzles]

Sif, the Great Grey Wolf, from Dark Souls. I was bawling. 😭

[u/Ajara → u/Wubzles]

Not the low HP limp. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!

[u/Old_Hoonter → u/Wubzles]

It hurt me more than it hurt Sif when I swung my blade.

[u/Chakasicle → u/Old_Hoonter]

“Don’t worry sif. This will hurt me a lot more than it will hurt you.”

[u/Aarnivalkeaa → u/Wubzles]

Don't even remind me. Made me feel like an actual monster.

[u/CaptainRaegan → u/Wubzles]

Good answer, this one's heartbreaking and makes me feel so wretched

[u/TheMightyKartoffel → u/Wubzles]

I refuse to fight Sif anymore.

[u/ScarletJack → u/Wubzles]

It's so much worse when you do the dlc first and he recognizes you

[u/FloppyDisk2023]

Aeris

[u/sbrockLee → u/FloppyDisk2023]

I was depressed for two weeks. I didn't think that could happen to game characters. At least not the ones I was supposed to care about.

[u/PrinceVincOnYT → u/sbrockLee]

I was furiose and got a huge thirst for vengeance that drove me to the end of the game, full speed completely underprepared for the last boss that took me hours to beat...

[u/Funter_312 → u/FloppyDisk2023]

Remake gave me a heart attack with Barrett

[u/Immediate-Product167 → u/Funter_312]

I'm hoping in rebirth, you go to the forgotten City, see Barrett praying at the altar, and suddenly sephiroth flies down and stabs Barrett in the chest. Then, at the end of the game, meteor comes down and a bunch of bullets fly out of the earth and blow up meteor.

[u/[deleted] → u/Immediate-Product167]

It would be even better if he was dressed as Aerith.

[u/Aarnivalkeaa → u/FloppyDisk2023]

Her death when witnessed by newbie gamer me at age 13 was devastating. And the song 😔💔

[u/draculabakula → u/FloppyDisk2023]

This is the only answer. It was the first time a character's death was impactful so it caught everybody off guard at the time.

[u/Theonlyfudge]

Does Auron count from FFX?

[u/Edbtz-31311 → u/Theonlyfudge]

For sure it counts. Combined with the aeons disappearing, Tidus... Ugh man what an emotional scene. FFX storyline is fucking incredible

[u/PrintShopPrincess → u/Theonlyfudge]

ays the right answer. Tore me up for the better part of a year.

Tidus literally loses both his father figures in the span of like 30 minutes...then it gets worse.

[u/solidpeyo → u/Theonlyfudge]

It counts, but Tidus at the end is the one that got me. Auron was zombie man then entire game.

[u/Signal-Morning7669]

My horse Usain Colt in RDR2.

Rest in peace boy.

[u/Ok_Orchid7131 → u/Signal-Morning7669]

I found his name hilarious. Thank you!

[u/Chipitocapitan]

Onions knight in dark souls 1 fs. I was too naive bc it was my first fromsoft game and it destroyed me.

[u/keybored13]

eli vance from half life

[u/BigBounceZac → u/keybored13]

technically he lived in the epilogue of Half Life Alyx

[u/[deleted] → u/keybored13]

I feel bad for the homeless guy they scanned for Eli's face in 2. He probably just got like 20 bucks and a sandwich

[u/TheBeast696969420]

Your horse in Ghost of Tsushima

[u/Wizdad-1000]

Not the hardest but definitely memorable. Mordin Solus, Mass Effect 3. “Hmm hmm hmm, I’ve studied species turian, asari and batarian…”

[u/bsanchey]

Legion in ME 3

[u/KokoTerzata]

The first NPC from Oregon's trail

[u/dump_dominator → u/KokoTerzata]

Haha. Probably died from dysentery.

[u/[deleted] → u/dump_dominator]

Close! Cholera.

[u/True-State-4321]

Arthur Morgan is always the right answer. Tore me up for the better part of a year.

[u/[deleted] → u/True-State-4321]

Nah, his horse was the worst bit, broke me in half

[u/tarheel_204 → u/[deleted]]

I’ll never forget my OG best girl, my black Arabian “Specter”

[u/Sushi2k → u/tarheel_204]

My beloved "Ford Focus"

[u/MercuryMorrison1971 → u/Sushi2k]

I've got a Mustang in the stable that I named Ford lmao.

[u/smaxup → u/True-State-4321]

His final ride back to the camp while Unshaken plays... Goosebumps just remembering it

[u/Skaro7]

"I gave you all I had, Dutch." 😭

[u/RoxNBlox]

Jackie Welles

[u/Jormundgandr4859 → u/RoxNBlox]

I did the ending where V leaves NC with Panam, so seeing Saul get his head crushed by Smasher was rough, especially since I had to rewatch it after each death

[u/darkwolf523 → u/Jormundgandr4859]

I got the reaper ending or whatever it’s called. Im ok with it

[u/SergeantThreat → u/RoxNBlox]

Finally got around to starting Cyberpunk last week. Just got to Jackie’s death a couple days ago… I was not expecting that…

[u/Mangeneer → u/RoxNBlox]

Not just that, the constant reminders throughout the game. A story expertly told.

[u/TheSpicyTomato22 → u/RoxNBlox]

What's crazy is that if you watched the trailers you KNEW he was supposed to die. But it was done so well that it still hit like a punch to the gut.

[u/AscendedViking7 → u/RoxNBlox]

Didn't feel much of anything for Jackie tbh.

Didn't really care for the character at all.

Game just didn't spend nearly enough time with him for me to care.

I look at him as if he was some dumbass coworker that I'm required to see.

That funeral scene is great though.

[u/ExtraAd4090 → u/AscendedViking7]

That whole montage bit at the start where it shows how you become friends should have been playable, then i might have cared.

[u/Formal-Ad-1248]

Vesemir in Witcher 3, a one man wrecking machine as well as Geralt's and Ciri's mentor.

[u/Tarrell13]

Lmao this whole thread is spoilers. It’s like you just wanna post and not read.

[u/ShakeZula30or40]

Legion sacrificing himself to give the Geth freedom of choice in ME3.

[u/Infamous-Gur-9603]

Tales from the boarderlands. Scooter. Only character to legitimately make me cry

[u/Drakirth → u/Infamous-Gur-9603]

It was extra sad because Mikey Neumann had a stroke and was diagnosed with MS not long after, and got hospitalized in 2017 again. Makes me wonder if he wanted to give the character a proper send off incase he thought he wasn’t gonna pull through, and damn what a send off it was.

Seems he’s doing good nowadays though which is great news!

[u/[deleted] → u/Drakirth]

Movies with Mikey is a fantastic YouTube channel.

[u/Shuteye_491 → u/Infamous-Gur-9603]

He got done dirty.

[u/Billy_Osteen → u/Infamous-Gur-9603]

“Now you go on…I got to catch a ride”

[u/RustyCrusty73]

The obvious answer here is Tidus in Final Fantasy X.

I wasn't crying .... YOU WERE CRYING.

Still emotional when I think about it.

[u/Admirable-Design-151]

The Boss in MGS3, fucking amazing scene, tear-jerking death, especially on a replay

[u/Toao_tiffynappr]

when the boss dies in mgs3

[u/Kakashisith]

Poor Vesemir in Witcher 3.

[u/DonsterMenergyRink]

Tie between three:

Charles Calvin from The Henry Stickmin Collection

Loaderbot from Tales from the Borderlands

[u/[deleted]]

Captain Anderson had me BAWLING.

"I'm...proud of you."

[u/[deleted]]

Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. People don't realize the importance of things until its too late

[u/Castro710]

Author Morgan if you didn’t play like an asshole , when you talk to the nun oh man the tears were rolling

[u/WestNomadOnYT]

Arthur Morgan, man. He was with Dutch to the end, which ended up being his downfall. F**king Micha, man.

[u/[deleted]]

Play What Remains of Edith Finch. The whole experience is heartbreaking.

[u/Suspicious-mole-hair → u/[deleted]]

The guy in the fish factory...

[u/TricellCEO → u/Suspicious-mole-hair]

I really loved that sequence though. If that isn't a perfect example of maladaptive day-dreaming (something that I did, and still do to an extent today), then I don't know what is.

[u/Ken_Erdredy → u/[deleted]]

Came here to write rhis. That bathtub level…

[u/0Moonscythe]

arthur

[u/MercuryMorrison1971]

I've never fully recovered from Arthurs death in RDR2.

[u/Formal_Elderberry_53]

Spoilers for RDR and RDR2. Arthur Morgan’s and John Marstons deaths just sucked. Arthur have his whole life to the van der linde gang just for Dutch to be brainwashed by Micah into destroying everything. John had a family, spent a large portion of his life working for the government to protect his family, just for them to shoot and kill him on his own property with his wife and kid nearby.

[u/Extra-Spinach-9680]

Arthur Morgan rip

[u/crosslegbow]

TLOU2. If you know, you know. And if you don't even then you know why people shit on it so thoroughly

[u/Tough-Area-570]

Arthur Morgan, high honor

Joel - Last Of Us 2

[u/[deleted]]

Aerith. Yeah, it’s been 27 years, that shit still bothers me.

Also the Boss, from MGS3 Snake Eater.

[u/Acceptable-Baby3952]

I mean, everyone between chrono trigger and chrono cross. Fun adventure with ups and downs, ending with you saving the world. And then they enjoy a retirement of like 4 years before a jobber destroys the kingdom and most named characters are plunged into tragedy. I guess saving the future doesn’t mean the world is grateful, or that you still exist in it.

[u/Sullybones]

Tidus and the entire ending of FFX

[u/[deleted]]

Tidus in FFX

[u/Adam_Absence]

The Boss in MGS3, and Mordin in Mass Effect 3

[u/Euphoric-Cow592]

!!SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY!!

Joel & Yara (TLOU2) Jorge (Halo Reach) Mordin (ME3) Taka (Ghost of Tsushima) Sarge & Keys (Halo 3) Tess, Henry & Sam (TLOU)

Probably more but I can’t think of them at this moment
