History TearJerker / FateExtra

* In CCC True Ending, [[spoiler:when you permanently lose your Servant, especially when your Servant bid their farewell to you before fading away (except for Gilgamesh, who is implied to still be alive) . But, what's even more heart wrenching to watch is when the Protagonist ran to the barrier and kept banging on it, desperately trying to reach out for their Servant, but to no avail.]]

* Part heartwarming, part nightmare fuel, and part tearjerker: after Archer (the playable one) realizes in week seven that [[spoiler:he places the player character's safety over the Moon Cell]], he makes an almost throwaway comment that if the PC had the Command Seal to spare, he'd force them to use it to change his class to Berserker. (This after having previously speculated, in another offhand comment, that Berserkers ''might'' be exempt from the Moon Cell's requirement that [[spoiler:Servants prioritize its security above all else]], and their Masters might thus not be subject to punishment by SE.RA.PH for their Servants' failure to adhere to that requirement.) What the ''hell'', Archer.

* All three of the playable Servants' back stories are pretty sad.

* The end of the seventh Elimination Battle. In his defeat, [[spoiler:Leo realizes what a fool he's been. He had never experienced defeat, which meant he lacked understanding of a vital part of living-- So he could never have become the king he thought he already was. He then apologizes to Gawain for making him serve an incomplete king...and thanks him for helping him learn the final lesson he needed to know.]] What further drives it home is the protagonist's thoughts -- [[spoiler:he/she is reminded of mayflies in how they get their wings upon reaching maturity, then only live for a day. Poignant because now that Leo has learned his final lesson, he can't improve himself with it -- because he's about to die.]]

* The Prologue has [[spoiler:a nameless character's th no memories and nothing to comfort them]].
* Pick any of your first three Elimination fights and someone will likely find it tearjerker material, be it [[spoiler: finding out that Shinji is just a kid who didn't know any better]], or [[spoiler: the 'real' Alice accepting that playtime is over, especially if you said you cared about her]], or [[spoiler: Dan and Robin Hood fisenseless death. Particularly how, as he lays dying, he wishes that ''somebody'', somewhere, will remember his name..]].

** And it's not just him: The sheer number of [[spoiler:bodies around him]] means that a ''lot'' of people [[spoiler:died terrified and alone, winally understanding each other just before they fade]].

** Not to mention the implication that the flashback is of the day [[spoiler:that woman - his and Leo's mother - was killed on the Harway family's orders]]. It's further implied that [[spoiler:Julius was sent not just to escort her but to kill her]]. And on top of that, [[spoiler:her last words are to protect ''Leo'']].

*** The aftermath of Alice's [[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG1I34MuRSI&t=18m11s Elimination Battle]]]] is especially painful, as you are, essentially [[spoiler: depriving a little girl of her wonderful afterlife after a horrible, lonely life in a hospital in the name of your own survival. The protagonist and Nursery Rhyme were the only ones who played with her, the latter being summoned by her just to have a company. And Alice thought is was just a play and they were never hurting anybody, yet she knew that it will all disappear soon. And to twist the knife further, she asks you if you cared about her, [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential and you can say no if you have no soul]]. And she comforts Nursery Rhyme as she breaks down in tears.]] It's hard to not feel like crap after this, especially as the protagonist is ''crushed'' by [[spoiler: her death far more than 2 earlier ones, telling himself/herself that (s)he can't desensitize himself/herself to killing and calling the system pointless and twisted to the core. Even later in the game, (s)he states (s)he will regret having her blood on his/her hands and not talking to her more when (s)he had the chance until the day (s)he dies.]]

--->'''Archer:''' ... I'm sorry, Master. I knew I wasn't cut out for a fair fight.
--->'''Archer:''' You needed someone better than a charlatan like me.

* Some of the backstories revealed in completed Servant profiles. Robin Hood's in particular revealed that [[spoiler:he'd done his duty to protect the villagers despite reaping only scorn for his unorthodox methods, finally dying and being known as anything ''but'' a hero]]. It makes his final lines that much more effective.

** The latter is particularly unnerving given how forthright and even likable he was despite attempting to murder you, and how easily he accepted their defeat the first time.

** Possibly even your character's reactions to the above. Unlike most of the NPCs, the player-character is appropriately and believably shaken up after essentially murdering their opponents and then watching them die.

** Possibly even your character's reactions to the above.

* [[spoiler:Julius's final]] death, regardless of whether you wind up [[spoiler:holding his hand as he fades]] or [[spoiler:simply shedding tears he can't even brush away]]. Witnessing his StartOfDarkness just prior ramps it up.

* In one route, seeing [[spoiler:''Arcueid'']] as a Berserker can be jarring to those familiar with the character. And just in case that doesn't drive home how BlessedWithSuck Berserkers are, eventually [[spoiler:Assassin gets to [[CameBackWrong Come Back Wrong]] as one]].
