The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening.
As I played the game, I got a little attached to the townsfolk who lived on that island. When I found out that the island is a dream and the only way to leave the island is to end that dream and erase everything/everybody in it, I was sad. It stands out as one of the few games that can evoke an emotional response without a massive amount of storytelling and cutscenes.
Basically, I like any game that can't be described as the second part in this quote."I like a game where the gameplay and story goes hand in hand, but in a JRPG, the gameplay and storytelling is kept on either sides of an iron fence...made of lions" - Yatzee
