Tear Jerker / SaGa Frontier 2

• SaGa Frontier 2 has a couple of these, the most notable being Richard Knights's Heroic Sacrifice, where he jumps off a cliff to try and get rid of the Sealed Evil in a Can once he falls into its trap. This sequence is made even worse by the following scene showing the birth of his daughter.
• The bad resolution of 'Inflitrate! Alexei Gang': the player must decide which of Wil's party members to send on the titular mission. If they choose Cordelia, it leads to her being discovered and Killed Off for Real, with Wil and the others rushing to her rescue too late. Made all the worse by the fact the player might've chosen them for this mission because they liked them...
• After years of exile, Gustave goes to visit his estranged younger brother, who hated him for taking their beloved mother away. When Gustave passes on his mother's dying words, the spirit of their mother appears to the both of them. The men sort of reconcile after that.
• A sadness of the Fridge Horror variety: The short pronouncement/prayer and euphemisms used to refer to someone's death^note Multiple references are made to someone's anima 'departing' or 'be(ing) received by the other Animas' (as well as the appearance of a cult called the "Anima Faith") indicate that in Sandail, anima was not just a source of magic power for living things - it contained the very spiritual essence of that living thing. Explains the world's disdain for people without Anima. In their eyes, someone without Anima would be roughly equivalent to a reanimated corpse (read: zombie/undead) - a body with no soul and a crime against nature, with everything that implies (including, if taken to its logical conclusion, not being eligible for their idea of Heaven. Yeesh. No wonder Gustave had such a chip on his shoulder for most of his life. Imagine receiving that kind of messaging from the world around you from the age of seven. Thankfully Gustave made something of himself, but even in proving his strength and political savvy by participating in and mostly winning the Sandailian Game of Thrones, he still likely had a reputation for being "soulless" that he could not shake due to circumstance.
