** Alice and Decus' death scene in this game was heartwrenching. After fighting the two of them, Emil attacks Alice but Decus protects Alice from the fatal blow, using his last words to say he loves her, even though she said he disgusts her. Alice then admits she loves him too, picks up Decus' sword, and tries to attack Emil, but is knocked down by Tenebrae. She then gets up and is about to try again but is killed by Marta. She uses HER last words to say that her and Decus will be together again soon.

The overall Tales Series Tear Jerker page had a pretty big folder for Tales of Symphonia, so I decided to give it its own page. Some of the examples in that folder applied exclusively to Dawn of the New World, so I moved them here

* Genis is so affected by Mithos' betrayal in the previous game that, unlike other Lloyd/character scenes, instead of pointing out the strong bond that has formed... Genis is ''still'' feeling the pain from it.
* A tear was shed for Genis when he reminds us that, because of his elven blood, he and his sister will greatly out live the rest of their TrueCompanions. Lloyd also knows of this in the first game, as he tells his beloved pet Noishe to stay with Genis and Raine when he dies. Noishe will actually outlive them even, but it's rather tear-jerking how Lloyd says it, thinking of their longevity as a good thing, compared to other humans who are terrified of it *coughPOPEcough* .
* The BadEnd of ''Dawn of the New World'' is strikingly horrifying. Interestingly enough, it's ''more difficult'' to get this ending than the good ending, as you have to defeat Lloyd and Marta alone, as opposed to lose to them in order to reach Emil's BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind that serves as the final battle. Anyway, if Emil defeats Lloyd and Marta, he suddenly realizes that he's injured Marta...and in a state of grief, ''[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath commits suicide]]'' in order to seal the door to the demon realm, instead of carrying out the party's original plan.
** Even the ''Good'' ending is a TearJerker if you think about it. Richter and Aster, two of the most brilliant minds of their generation, who could have been a shining example of half-elf/human friendship in the struggling new world are locked underground burning and dead respectively ultimately because of a hate that was born millenia before, and about which they knew nothing. Richter may deserve his punishment, but damn, what a waste. Even Emil doesn't get off easy since eventually he will die and return to the Ginnungagap, where he'll live forever without Marta. And while he is alive he'll have the burden of being reminded of his crime every time he looks in a mirror. Also [[FridgeLogic good luck living figuring out how to relate to the relatives and neighbors of the ''other'' kid who's identity you stole Emil...]]
** On the bright side, it could have been worse. In a mistranslation of the Japanese version of the game, it says that Marta killed herself as well, not wanting to live in a world without Emil.

She uses HER last words to say that her and Decus will be together again soon.
** The part of that scene that makes it worse is when Alice dies she's holding Decus hand.
