I was thinking about Crisis Core today, about how it's my only PSP game that makes me wish I hadn't lost my PSP. And then it also got me thinking about how this is one of the only games I've ever played that punched me right in the emotions even through I knew full well what was coming.
When I played Final Fantasy VII the first time, it was way past the time when Aeris' death was considered "spoilers". I knew she was going to die, and didn't cry when it happened in the game. But another character named Zack also died before the start of the game. So I knew that too. And then Crisis Core was released.
Going into the game, I knew full well that Zack was going to die. It was an important part of Final Fantasy VII and there was no way it would be ret-conned. So I played through the game thinking "I can handle this just was well as Aeris' death." How wrong I was.
I sobbed like a little baby all the way through the ending. And I mean the ugly sort of sobbing that you just can't hold in. I thought I could handle another spoiled death, but when it was happening I found out that I really liked Zack's character and almost couldn't bare to see him die.
Did anyone else get emotional from the end of Crisis Core even though Zack's death was a given the whole way through? Or is there any other games that you've played knowing that something emotional was going to happen and it still got to you when it happened?
