* Seeing Gascon leave his brother in the past. It's subtle, but you can really tell how painful this is for both of them. By now, most players will have figured out [[spoiler: he's Swaine]], which aleviates this somewhat, as they know he'll make good on his promise to meet again. So the game pulls a double whammy: you all return to the palace... [[spoiler: and find the Emperor dying. Swaine, i.e. Gascon's future self, now has to watch his own father die. And he knew Swaine was his son all along. You see the guy break down for pretty much the first time in the entire game. [[WellDoneSonGuy "I just wanted to make you proud..."]] Sniff.]]

As in, ''sobbing'', helplessly. Then for the first time, we see her face, and she looks completely and thoroughly ''helpless''.

* Quite a few of the Tales of Wonder, found in the ''Wizard's Companion'' and unlocked as the game progresses, can be pretty heavy themselves. Case in point: "The Bear-Man and the Princess's Tears."
