Dragon Quest XI
Waiting for Godot...

Best paired with https://youtu.be/7Dn61KjXlao

After the classic rpg part 1 where everything goes wrong and the world is doomed (this time the world tree falling apart with the heroes on the top of it) I was excited to get the band back together. Its a great narrative way of taking the cast you love and letting them breathe off camera to grow. If done right the reconnection ends up being a fun premise. Many rpgs, tv shows and anime have done this with great success.

So the entire 2nd part of DQ11 I was so hyped to get the party back especially Veronica and Serena because one was my bomb mage and the other was my healer. You actually recover everyone else first before getting these two. On the way to Veronica and Serenas hometown (their sisters) you encounter this black dragon. You actually don't fight him in the first part iirc because he was frozen? Or maybe you do. Either way hes not bad then, but now your without your best healer and damage flinger for magic.

After barely surviving the fight serena comes in to help you stunning the beast with her violin. But no veronica, Serena believes she went back home. When you get there though nobody is there, so one last place Serena suggests the garden where they used to play.

And then Serena spots her by the tree and she doesn't look good laying aginst the tree. Well maybe she looks asleep.

Her staff starts to glow, the Hero's hand glows and Serena suggests to touch it.

Suddenly its the end of part 1 and the World tree is breaking apart. Veronica uses her magic to suspend the others in a protective barrier and then blasts them across the world both saving them from the crushing, explosion of energy, and hiding them from the games big bad. And then Veronica...dies

And at this point my heart breaks. I'd been so excited to get back my mages this whole 2nd act of the game and I never expected this to happen. After this cutscene ends I was like ok they'll just....oh crap she just turned to dust in front of the rest of the partys eyes. It starts to rain and the party is heartbroken and angry.

I've played a lot of rpgs and this will always stand up as one of the most devastating moments for me.
