Dirk giving Lloyd the key crest to help Marble, supplies for his journey, and wishing him well. What he says afterwards really sells the moment.
Dirk: Don't forget that you're still my son, regardless of blood. Come back here anytime you need to rest.
Lloyd and the party saving Genis and Raine after it's revealed they're half-elves and outright accepting them because to him, they're just people. The rest of the party also accepts them in their own way.
Healing Clara after Rodyle's Ranch. It may be an optional sidequest, but it's a nice little detail. The sequel shows after two years, Clara has recovered fully and is the new Governor-General of Palmacosta, following in her husband's footsteps.
If Lloyd fails to get the Spiritua Statue in Thoda Geyser, whomever is closest to him at that stage in the story will rescue him.
Bonus points if it's Kratos.
Sheena joining the party to help save the people of Luin, who previously were the ones giving her shelter in Sylvarant.
Colette's kindness toward Sheena is more meaningful when you realize her own clan shunned her after she failed to make a pact with Volt.
Presea pulling a Big Damn Heroes on the floating island, particularly by saying that Colette isn't wrong - the system that demands the sacrifice of a Chosen is. Afterwards, Presea smiles for the first time.
Lloyd's speech after beating Kratos in their duel in front of Origin's seal.
Kratos: You've grown strong.
Lloyd: Thanks to you.
Kratos: Aren't you going to finish me?
Lloyd: I defeated Kratos, the angel who betrayed us. And I forgive Kratos, the hero of the Ancient War, who helped us. That's all.
The entirety of Welgaia and Lloyd rescuing the party members from their respective phantoms that attack their flaws. They break out because despite whatever flaws they have, Lloyd accepts them for who they are. The best examples of this is Genis & Raine. It's also a big deal that Lloyd does this after bearing witness to the flaws of someone as tough as Kratos.
Kratos: Begone phantom! My son needs me!
Kratos' Taking the Bullet moment. It's just after it's been revealed that he's Lloyd's father. He blocks an energy blast from Yuan, and asks Lloyd, "are you alright...? Good." and then passes out. And now his cryptic "Don't die, Lloyd" starts to make sense, and we get the horrible creeping feeling he's been struggling to help Lloyd from the shadows all along.
In return, every time after this scene where Lloyd calls Kratos "dad" also counts.
Ever more heartwarming in the OVA series where Kratos uses his body as a shield to protect Lloyd from falling debris before asking if Lloyd is alright. Unlike the games, Lloyd does give Kratos a response.
If Kratos is set to auto, he will heal Lloyd more than any other member of the party in a fight.
Practically every Flanoir scene Lloyd can have with the eight party members. They don't just tell you more about the character themselves, it also shows that each have grown close and trust Lloyd completely, they're okay with revealing their most vulnerable sides to them. Particularly in Zelos' case, who already starts out with the lowest trust for Lloyd.
If you choose Zelos to be the one who cooks the curry, the gnomelette scarfs the whole thing down without even tasting it. Zelos dismisses it by saying he really didn't try when cooking it. Others immediately call him out, saying they saw how much effort he put into it, that he was even sweating. Before Zelos can interject any more, Lloyd says that he tried out some of Zelos' curry and that it was really good. That it was a waste to give it to the gnomelette. Crosses over to funny territory with Zelos' reaction.
Zelos:[Goes over to Lloyd and opens his arms as if asking for a hug] Bud! ♥
Lloyd: H-hey! Knock it off!
When everyone's deciding which world they want to stay in before the pact with Luna and Aska. Genis, Raine, Regal, and Presea all get a shot of heartwarming for deciding to stay with 'Team Sylvarant' (as Sheena puts it), but Zelos takes the cake.
Zelos: The minute the worlds separate, there'll be no more need for the Chosen. I'll be a free man. May as well explore my freedom in the arms of all the hunnies in Sylvarant I've yet to meet!
There's a particularly poignant skit between Zelos and Colette appropriately titled 'Two Chosens' where they discuss their thoughts on being Chosen. Zelos asks Colette how she can be so strong about her situation, to which she responds with confiding in him that she's not really all that strong at all and is just trying her hardest to pretend to be. Zelos instantly rejects that notion, telling her that he thinks she really is strong, especially compared to him, and that he thinks she's amazing. This skit is particularly notable because if triggered at earliest convenience, it's one of the first signs the audience gets that Zelos does not think as highly of himself as he makes it seem. It also is one of the only skits that has the honor of getting partially integrated into the manga, as well as a scene of the Symphonia OVA, signifying that an optional skit is considered one of the most important conversations in the Symphonia story.
If you chose to stay at an inn after getting Virginia's Diary, it will trigger a skit between Genis and Raine. Genis mentions that, to him, meeting their mother was weird because, even though she is his sister, Raine always felt like a mother to him. Raine has a brief reaction, but dismisses it when Genis asks if something is wrong; nevertheless, you can tell how much that meant to her.
You can also tell Raine was touched that he thought of her that way.
"Kratos obtained the title of Dad."
When taken as an arc, Lloyd's relationship with Colette is probably rivaled only by Tales of The Abyss's Luke and Tear, in terms of relationship development. From a young age, Colette was raised to be a martyr for a goddess, however, Lloyd refuses to see her that way. He grows more concerned as she progressively loses her senses as well as her humanity. In the Tower of Salvation, Lloyd actively rebels against Cruxis's dogmatic control, so Colette won't sacrifice herself. He repeatedly throws himself against enemies more powerful than himself for her sake. This eventually progresses to Lloyd and Colette's scene in Flanoir (should you choose her) where she rewards Lloyd's devotion with a cute snow bunny.
Dirk entrusting his finest blade to Lloyd at the very end of the game, and forging the Eternal Ring needed to wield the Eternal Sword for him after it's revealed Kratos had been collecting the materials while acting as a traitor. Dirk telling Kratos "After all, he's my son, too," is the icing on the cake.
When Sheena offers to sacrifice herself to Kuchinawa to let the party escape at the Otherworldy Gate, needless to say everyone is horrified, with Lloyd demanding she stop and Colette begging her not to make the same mistakes she did. But to top it all off, Zelos is the one who grabs her and pulls her through the portal, sounding uncharacteristically pissed off. It goes to show that he might love to antagonise her, deep down he really does care for her wellbeing.
Raine and Sheena's budding friendship, especially considering they were at each other's throats initially. Special mention goes to Raine translating Volt's language for Sheena in the Lightning Temple when the poor girl is clearly panicking over the past repeating itself.
Noticing that Lloyd's "sad" expression in the skits looks exactly like Kratos'. Strong Family Resemblance, indeed.
After the party returns to Iselia, the Mayor rages about how two exiles (Lloyd and Genis) have returned, as well as how Genis and Raine turned out to be half-elves, and Colette is a failure of a Chosen. The citizens of Iselia then stand up for the party members, bringing up all the things they did for them, and agree to let them stay in the town over the mayor's objections. Raine ends up being overwhelmed with emotion over this.
