Biggest 'holy shit' moment in a game.

This. Even crazier than Aeris dying. Since this happens out of NOWHERE after a CGI FMV, I got shitted out. I didn't know that they'd have their good graphics out for one battle. And I was 7 at the time, so I only unlocked up till Finishing Touch for a Limit Break, and Omnislash blew my fucking mind. Plus the bar gradually fills normally, so I didn't even know what the hell I was pressing. I was just happy to have gotten to the end.

Runner-Ups:
- When I was playing Final Fantasy X and unlocked Bahamut. I was fighting Seymour Natus (the second form at Bevelle). I had played FF VII, VIII, and IX beforehand, so I knew about Mega Flare and its 9999 awesomeness. So FFX's Bahamut's Overdrive gauge was filled and I was like "BITCH, MEGA FLARE!"
BOOM. 13,000 damage. WHAT!? HOLY SHIT! It was the first time I ever saw over 9999 damage. Plus, it was my first PS2 game, and seeing Bahamut do Mega Flare on PS2 was sexy. Mind-blowing for a 10-year-old-at-the-time.

- Bahamut Fury's Exa Flare on Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I didn't know a PSP could do so much awesome on graphics at the time.
