^^A Player Punch counts as a Tear Jerker here.

The ending of Conkers Bad Fur Day wasn't a Tear Jerker personally, but it has very high potential in that respect... if for no other reason than because you don't see it coming.

^^^I know that. I meant that the Player Punch was more tearjerking for me.

^Isn't it still a tearjerker? I mean, no deaths only means 2 people survive instead of one!

The ending to Lufia II. At the time, I hadn't played the first game at all, so I didn't know that Maxim and Selan die at the end of the prequel. The way it played out though, I doubt having that foreknowledge would've softened the Player Megaton Punch at all, and the ending theme just makes it that much more tearjerking. To date, more than twelve years after seeing that for the first time (...great, now I feel old too), I still can't sit through the entire ending without bawling like a fucking child.

Being that it's me, it should be no surprise that I should name the "Lighthouse Scene" from Beyond Good And Evil, not in part because Jade's voice actor just nails her shock and building sorrow:

"W-w-who did you think you are? Did you actually think you'd be able to make a diffence? Well, Woof, you were wrong, boy. Totally and utterly wrong.

That one scene in Lost Odyssey, anyone's who played it would know exactly what I'm talking about, though admittedly Mack's big no was pretty narmy. But Cooke's reaction was what made the tearjerker.

Oh, and the story with the letters and racist village. That was pretty messed up, and like the one time where Kaim was flat out wrong.

Hard to say... But my biggest Tearjerker so far is the ending of Metal Gear Solid 3.

However, I'm playing Mother 3 at the moment, so that can easily change...
