Baten Kaitos/Heartwarming

Baten Kaitos, Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

• I know most people think of it as a bad case of Narm. But I was always moved by Kalas's apology after he wakes up. I know he was The Mole and all but COME ON! Give the guy a break! I know the whole "deal with Melodia for power" thing was horribly wrong and all but. He literally got on his hands and knees to beg everyone for forgiveness! What more do you want!?
  • The fact that he's practically in tears as they tell him it's okay really sells it in my opinion.
• Kalas and Xelha reuniting at the end is just golden.
• The last scene of the game, when everyone gets together to say goodbye to the Spirit. The characters you've gotten to know give you their heartfelt thanks for getting them through it all. There's something oddly satisfying about it.

Baten Kaitos Origins

• Arguably the entire endgame is either this, Tear Jerker, or Crowning Moment of Awesome.
  • Guillo comforting Milly after Baelheit's death in his own special way.
  • If you spared them, the Terrible Trio from earlier pull one Big Damn Heroes after another just to get Sagi and Milly out of the falling Tarazed. Especially so when you hear that Heughes and Nasca are both prepared to sacrifice themselves to save Sagi.
  • Milly falling off Tarazed, and Sagi diving into the sky after her. Not to save her, but just to be with her one last time...
  • During the True Final Boss, Sagi and co. are knocked out. Just when all seems lost, Malpercio come in and give Sagi a Rousing Speech, giving him the confidence he needs to bring down Verus-Wiseman.
• How about the Heart-to-Heart? When you tell Sagi you want to be part of him, he sounds so genuinely happy you can't help but feel for him. A lot of it stems from the excellent writing, which really makes Sagi into a lovable character.
• Heughe's letter to his brother Nasca. Considering that by the time you accidentally get it, they've both wiped the floor with your party, it does a good job of humanizing Heughes. Sagi even forwards it to Nasca, despite the fact that Nasca literally shot Sagi in the face with missiles earlier in the game!
