Breath of Fire/Tear Jerker

Each game is usually good for about two or three.

• Breath of Fire I: Alan and Cerl's deaths, being forced to fight against and kill your sister.
• Breath of Fire II: the death of Rand's mother, the death of Tiga and Claris, the death of Ray, and the death of Ryu's mother.
  • Also Mina's becoming a great bird, especially with the music.
• Breath of Fire III: Teepo's death, especially his dying words. And Rei's response to it.
• Breath of Fire IV: Elina's death, period. Mami's (Fou-Lu's girl) death also counts.
  • In the manga adaptation of Breath of Fire IV: Mami's death would definitely count and Elina's death is downright heartbreaking. The massacre of the inhabitants of Chek counts too.
  • Another tearjerker from the manga continuity of Breath of Fire IV: Ryu sobbing and asking Nina (after his Kaiser Dragon Incident) why Humans Are the Real Monsters. And then waking up after a Beautiful Dreamer nap sobbing, stating he knows exactly why Fou-lu now thinks Humans Are the Real Monsters.
  • And from Volume V of the manga, Fou-lu breaking down when confronted by Ryu over how Mami was the counterexample to Humans Are the Real Monsters. Fou-lu is definitely not the Iron Woobie here...
  • Ershin's death. Sure, she gets better, but still...

Ershin: "Was that... an appropriate time to laugh?"

• Jade/Judas's death in The Dragon Warrior, along his lover Sara.
