* The destruction of [[spoiler:Lindblum]] is the most devastating scene in the game.* It's made even worse by the aftermath. Where any other form of media would have an implied holocaust or only talk about it, in [=FF9=] you're forced to walk around a destroyed [[spoiler:Lindblum]], while the citizens give you short but horrific anecdotes about the attack and the [[spoiler:Alexandrian soldiers]] waver between MyGodWhatHaveIDone and bragging about their superiority. The stories include a little girl in the very first screen asking for her (absent, probably deceased) mother not to leave her alone, the synthesist's father having lost the use of his hands, the pickle selling woman having been blinded, and that's only three out of dozens of potential conversations. The entire [[spoiler:Industrial District]] was wiped out. Just think about how many people that would be and what that means.
* A rare one for the enemy side, but [[spoiler:Kuja learning that he's going to die soon, and the cackling fear in his speech when he realizes that Garland isn't lying about it, causing one of the most triumphant and saddening examples of the VillainousBreakdown]] I've ever seen

* For ThisTroper, the destruction of [[spoiler: Lindblum]] is the most devastating scene in the game.
** One of the most devastating scenes in ''any'' game. [[MelasZepheos This Troper]] believes it's made even worse by the aftermath. Where any other form of media would have an implied holocaust or only talk about it, in FF9 you're forced to walk around a destroyed [[spoiler: Lindblum,]] while the citizens give you short but horrific anecdotes about the attack and the [[spoiler: Alexandrian soldiers]] waver between MyGodWhatHaveIDone and bragging about their superiority. The stories incluse a little girl in the very first screen asking for her (absent, probably deceased) mother not to leave her alone, the synthesist's father having lost the use of his hands, the pickle selling woman having been blinded, and that's only three out of dozens of potential conversations. The entire [[spoiler:Indsutrial District]] was wiped out. Just think about how many people that would be and what that means.
*** Oh god, that blind pickle seller had me in floods of tears when she mentioned that [[spoiler: she wouldn't be able to see her grandchildren.]] I just wasn't expecting it.
