I should know better than to continue on, but because I'm currently terminally online and not right in the head like the rest of you, here goes.

Name a death more remembered when people think about the game it's from among the numbered FFs then

You say right here asking about the general player base for Final Fantasy.

By caring way more about their deaths because they didn't have ten billion death flags around them from the start? Because they're little kids and an old man dying out of revenge hits less hard than two children sacrificing their lives so adults may live? Because you can actually try to depetrify them with a gold needle and the game accounts for that and says 'no, they're too far gone'? There's a lot of reasons their death scene hits harder than Tellah's and Cid's (which I'd also argue hits harder than Tellah's, fwiw, if only because you've known him for longer by the time he disappears and he's a more enjoyable character to begin with). Tellah's death isn't even the meanest one in his own game at all, even if it's the one that sticks.

And then you go on about your own view, which is not what the general players think, and even admit at the end that Tellah's still is the one that people remember out of FFIV.

You're free to have your own personal takes but don't go conflating it with what the community thinks.

Yes, the scenes with the twins, Cid, and Yang are all shocker moments, but the impact is lessened when they all live in the end. I doubt people are gonna immediately think about the "sacrifices" they made when they think about the character. Much like in the real world where people aren't quick to remember the sacrifices you made in life as long as you're alive.
