Tear Jerker: Illusion of Gaia
All of Illusion of Gaia/Illusion of Time. Highlights include discovering that the people you've just met have actually been dead for centuries and never got to take the trip they were dreaming of, finding the skeleton of an adventurer and much later talking to his children who don't know he's dead, and, just before the end, meeting people you knew who have been turned into pure souls: "Living with a terminal illness was better than this," one laments. However, it has more of a Bittersweet Ending.
Not to mention of Hamlet's sacrificing himself to feed a village! Who would have guessed the adorable mascot would die?
