* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoFzkr_39o8 The second world map theme]] after Meteor is summoned. Very discordant and creepy, full of hopelessness. Perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the world. You get no relief from it on the world map until Cloud rejoins the party and you are in the Highwind.
* The hidden Zack flashback scene after you've cleared Cloud's memories up at Mideel. Seeing what seems to be a goofy, optimistic NiceGuy and someone who saved Cloud's life as a friend get shot and then [[MakeSureHesDead horribly gunned down on the ground like a dog]] is probably one of the most violent moments in the entire game. And somehow ''this'' is what triggers Cloud's mind starting to overcome his Mako poisoning.. by lifting Zack's Buster Sword and raising his arms to the sky in anguish. All without any music, just to highlight the pointlessness of the tragedy.

Highwind. Worse still, it's the theme of the Northern Crater when you first reach the summit of Gaea's Cliff. It's almost a symbol of the fact that whatever evil was contained at the Crater, namely the real Sephiroth, has been fully unleashed upon the world.

It's especially jarring if you forgot or didn't know this was how Zack was originally killed off, compared to the equally tragic and desperate way he went out in ''Crisis Core''.

Added DiffLines:

** Even worse, if you go into the house on the lower right where you met two children who repeated each other's words in the flashback, there are two clones, one of whom is noticeably smaller than the other models. When you talk to them, they both simply say "Reunion"...as if they were repeating each other's words. Yep, the game is strongly implying that those kids survived the fire but got turned into clones. And knowing what happens to the clones later on, it just gets worse for those kids-turned-clones.
