History TearJerker / FinalFantasyX

* The ending, wherein Auron is sent to the Farplane and Tidus fades away because he was created by the dreaming of the Fayth. It's heartbreaking to see a devastated Yuna throw herself at Tidus, only to fall right through him due to Tidus becoming intangible as the Fayths' power dissipates. Before he departs, Tidus takes Yuna into a ghostly embrace from behind. Cue the most bittersweet rendition of "To Zanarkand" in the game; it swells to its highest crescendo, and then, as Tidus passes through Yuna, a measure of silence. He then dives off the airship, passes the ghosts of Auron and Braska, and reunites with his father, giving him a high five. A few days later, Yuna is standing at the Luca docks whistling, and it feels absolutely tragic due to the particular significance that had been attached to the action earlier. A montage of all the best moments in the game is seen through Yuna's memories. Her final line:

** Yuna whistling at the docks is like she's desperately trying to call Tidus back. This makes a return in the sequel.

* The ending, wherein Auron is sent to the Farplane and Tidus fades away because he was created by the dreaming of the Fayth. It's utterly crushing to see a devastated Yuna throw herself at Tidus, only to fall right through him due to Tidus becoming intangible as the Fayths' power dissipates.

A montage of all the best moments in the game is seen through Yuna's memories. Her final line:

** The last thing Yuna says to Tidus. In the English version, it's an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. In Japanese, it's an extremely painful and emotionally freighted "thank you." Either way it hits like a ton of bricks. Adding to this scene, the final shot of the remaining party looking on just before Tidus jumps off the airship is particularly sad. At the very end of the scene, Yuna starts to lose it and stop holding back her tears.
** In a heartbreaking way, Yuna whistling at the docks is like she's desperately trying to call Tidus back. This makes a return in the sequel.

** "The Spring" cutscene walks the thin line between SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} and TearJerker. Yuna and Tidus get very excited with their imaginary future together in Zanarkand, partying all night and watching the sunrise... and then Yuna starts to cry when she admits to herself that it will never happen.

** Tidus reaching out to Jecht as he falls off a ledge in Dream Zanarkand before becoming Braska's Final Aeon. This is followed by Jecht resurfacing in his aeon form. Tidus, trying to pull himself together, yells, "I promise this will be quick! Hit me with all you got, Dad!" If the player chooses the "Talk" option for Tidus during the fight, it will say that Tidus' voice seems to affect Jecht. This decreases Jecht's LimitBreak gauge to 0. However, after doing so twice, Jecht won't react to Tidus anymore, implying that Yu Yevon's influence has overridden his love for his son.

** Auron's exit. As he fades away, it's clear that he ''finally'' has peace. Sin is dead, Yevon has been exposed as a lie, Jecht's torture is over, and while he wasn't able to save his friends, he was able to avenge them and save their children. He tells the surviving party "This is ''your'' world now" before Yuna finally sends him. A fitting exit for one of the most wonderfully written characters to walk across a game console.

** And things get even worse for them in X-2, with the Guado forced out of their own home and if things go really wrong, the entire race [[EverybodyDiesEnding meets its end]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil at the hands of Garik and the younger Ronso]] that survived Seymour's massacre at Mount Gagazet. Tromell's shattering of that sphere triggered a chain of DisasterDominoes that can (potentially) end with the complete extinction of the Guado, all because he loved the wrong person too much for his own good.

* The ending, wherein Auron is sent to the Farplane and Tidus fades away because he was created by the dreaming of the Fayth. Yuna tries to keep him from leaving, only to fall right through him due to Tidus becoming intangible as the Fayths' power dissipates. Before he departs, Tidus takes Yuna into a ghostly embrace from behind. Cue the most bittersweet rendition of "To Zanarkand" in the game; it swells to its highest crescendo, and then as Tidus passes through Yuna, a measure of silence.

A few days later, Yuna is standing at the Luca docks whistling, and it feels absolutely tragic due to the particular significance that had been attached to the action earlier. A montage of all the best moments in the game is seen through Yuna's memories. Her final line:

** Yuna whistling repeatedly after Tidus fades away, especially when you consider what the gesture means between them: "If we ever get separated, just whistle. I'll come running. I promise." In a heartbreaking kind of way, it's like she's desperately trying to call him back.

** In response, Lulu's and Wakka's reaction to Tidus' accusations: Lulu's outraged and anguished "Don't you think we tried to stop her?!" and Wakka's sad and resigned acknowledgement that Yuna knew what she was getting into and couldn't be dissuaded are heartbreaking.

** A minor one earlier in the game, when Tidus barges into the Bevelle Fayth room to see Yuna making a pact with the Fayth. Auron gives Tidus a quick refresher on how a summoner gains an aeon. But then afterwards Auron just... storms out the room with a look of utter disgust on his face, because he understands what a fayth is for, and what it's worth; an unsent who can never move on.
