First emotional moment in gaming

Final Fantasy VI. The moment when Kefka creates the World of Ruin. I vividly remember being despondent watching the world crack and people fall through. Knowing that I had done everything right, but still wasn't able to save the world was heart wrenching for my pre-teen self.

Follow that with Celes's suicide if you fail the fish feeding mini-game right after the creation of the world of ruin and you've got the most emotional segment of any Final Fantasy.

Ahh yes, the terrible dive off the cliff.  That combo was depressing.

I do remember turning off the SNES twice when getting to the World of Ruin, convinced I had done something wrong.  I thought maybe I had to lose the boss fight, so I went back and let them beat me, hoping it would trigger some event that stopped the destruction.  Then when I realized that didn't work, I played through only to lose the mini-game.  Turned it off as she jumped because I couldn't handle it.  Went back through the floating continent and finally won the mini-game the next time I turned it on.
