History TearJerker / FireEmblem

** And in the second part, when [[spoiler: Altenna thanks Finn for raising her brother Leaf and then mentions how she vaguely remembers playing and spending time with him before ItGtWorse... and Finn [[ManlyTears starts crying].]]

* Matthew and [[spoiler: his lover who was spying on Nergal (who he was planning to propose to)]] from [=FE7=]. Nergal orders Jaffar to [[spoiler: kill her once they discover her being a spy, then leaves her corpse as a welcome gift to Eliwood's forces as they arrive on the Island.]] Matthew suspects [[spoiler: Jaffar]] of the crime after he joins, in their 'support' conversations. In their 'A' support Matthew finds in himself to forgive [[spoiler: Jaffar because he was under Nergal's complete control, and Jaffar reveals the last thing she said was 'Matthew']]
** (*cough*)... It was not Nergal who ''ordered'' Jaffar to do it, it was ''[[CompleteMonster Ephidel]]''. Get it right. (*cough*)

** And in the second part, when [[spoiler: Altenna thanks Finn for raising her brother Leaf, and Finn starts crying.]]

** Don't forget Oosawa's rendition of [[spoiler: Eltoshan's death and Lachesis's reaction.]] Those were damn well-done and sad too.
* A bit of {{FridgeBrilliance}} - and Fridge Sadness, if it existed; as an above troper said, 99% of the death quotes are extremely sad. Intelligent Systems likes to give the goofier, funnier characters the sadder quotes. Probably the best example in Radiant Dawn is Kieran; you can tell by looking at him he's a very silly guy. But his death quote for Chapter 3 in Part 2??

** There's also Sain from FE 7: "Lady Lyndis... I was so happy..."

-->[[spoiler: Haar: One, two, three...five in all. We're lucky to have that many.
-->Soldier: Captain Haar...what are we supposed to do now? General Shiharam is dead, and our homes are gone. What are we to do with our families?
-->Haar: What do you want to do? We've lost any right we had to stay here. So that leaves Begnion or Crimea...
-->Soldier: General Shiharam was slain by Crimea...joining with them now is not...it's not possible.
-->Haar: Then all you can do is return to Begnion. I doubt you'll get a hero's welcome but...I've an old friend in the pegasus knights. Shall I contact her?
-->Soldier: Sniff...Ah, gods. Eighteen long years...what does any of it mean now?
-->Haar: Don't say that! No matter what, I'm proud to have served under General Shiharam.
-->Soldier: You're right...it was an honor...]]

** This Troper could hardly keep herself together after the death of [[spoiler: Jill's Father]], not so much durring the actual event, but the conversation with Haar and the surviving troops afterwords.

***** It brings another TearJerker, tho: [[spoiler: the Dragons weren't ''evil'' per se, the only wanted to see Elibe one last time, hence why they answered the call. Ninian lampshades this by [[TenerTears crying for them]] as she kills them and saying she's sorry ''several'' times.]]

Geoffrey: Kieran... No! I'm coming to help you! Hold tight! Kieran!!

** ''FireEmblem 4'' hit this troper even harder. It was bad enough being blindsided halfway through the game when [[spoiler:Ethlin and Cuan are killed and their daughter Altenna taken captive]], but that very same chapter ends with [[spoiler:your ally Alvis betraying you and murdering nearly every available playable character, including the main character Sigurd]]. This troper had to stop playing for a long while just to come to grips with what happened.

* Ferry's HeroicBSOD in ''Seisen'', when she learns [[spoiler: that Mahnya, her beloved sister, was killed by the {{Face Heel Turn}}ed Pamela.]]
--> '''Fury''': Please! Somebody tell me it's not true!

* Not [[YourMileageMayVary star-crossed lovers]] exactly, but realizing that Ike, the only person Soren has ever cared about, is probably going to die before Soren even hits adulthood always left this troper feeling a little teary-eyed.

** This troper found it heartbreaking when she discover that [[spoiler:Ike watched Greil kill Elena when he took the medilanion.]] Making it even worse when he also watched [[spoiler:Greil die before his eyes as well.]]

*** [[Tropers/{{Orihime}} This troper]] is the one who wrote the example above. Ninian is her favorite character in the game and she damn well understands when you mean. * criiiiiies*
*** Aw... how about a hug? Would that make you feel better?
**** [[TheGlomp Thank you! ^^]]

* Matthew and [[spoiler: his lover who was spying on Nergal (who he was planning to propose to)]] from FE7. Nergal orders Jaffar to [[spoiler: kill her once they discover her being a spy, then leaves her corpse as a welcome gift to Eliwood's forces as they arrive on the Island.]] Matthew suspects [[spoiler: Jaffar]] of the crime after he joins, in their 'support' conversations. In their 'A' support Matthew finds in himself to forgive [[spoiler: Jaffar because he was under Nergal's complete control, and Jaffar reveals the last thing she said was 'Matthew']]

* In FireEmblem 7, Hector and Eliwood's A support is pretty tragic when you know the plot of FE6. [[spoiler: They are talking about the warrior's oath to each other that they took when they were children. Hector, at one point in the conversation, tells Eliwood, "I don't want to hear any excuses about not being able to come help when we're old men." Eliwood then agrees and says, "Stay alive, Hector." In FE6, Eliwood becomes dreadfully ill and can't come to help Hector himself in the war on Bern, and Hector is killed in the war. That makes this conversation, which would ordinarily be a heartwarming display of loyalty and friendship, tragically ironic.]]
