Emotions In Life/Gaming: Sadness

Sadness. One of the worst emotions ever. Unfortunately though it seems to be one that likes to rear it's ugly face much more than desired, even in video games. I had e relatively morbid day today so I decided to post on sadness and it's relation to our favorite hobby. The most talked about moment in video games that makes nerds everywhere shed tears, and that is (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!): Aeris's Death in Final Fantasy VII. After getting to know and possibly bond with her throughout the game the geniuses at Square Enix threw an unforgettable curve-ball and had the infinitely awesome Sephiroth kill her. Forever. No pheonixdown ressurection. At all. It made grown men cry. BUT!!!! I have never played that game so I really don't know.... I have played Chrono Trigger though which at times was very sad. The one time I can remember right now is...MINOR SPOILER ALERT---When you go to Destroy a factory with newly found Robot friend Rob. When you are on your way out of the detonating factory. You run into Rob's robot companions. The music becomes very melancholy and the Robots tell Rob he is a defect for not killing you and you are helpless as they take your friend apart right in front of you. =( I'll do another Emotion post soon. Hopefully a happier one.
