The death scene in FF7 was far too surreal to affect me very much. I remember I was pissed off, but that was because Aeris was carrying a lot of good materia.

FF7 for making me mourn Aeris'' death.
FF6 and Fallout tie for bleak hopelessness (this can be mitigated quite a bit in Fallout if you join the Brotherhood of Steel, don''t find out about the Regulators, don''t go back to Necropolis, don''t watch the animations, don''t listen to the music during the opening or the closing credits, and so on)

Dang... Fallout... and Fallout 2 (can''t get Tactics to run on my computer... but I don''t know if that''d be as emotional). Those were great games. The openning sequences were especially great. Also, you actually get to role play so you actually care about your character and the world he/she lives in.
