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.

'The one that sticks' doesn't mean 'the one that sticks with you', it means 'the one that lasts to the end of the game'. But when I think of FF4 what I remember most is the absolutely phenomenal sequence at the end where the Main Theme plays as the world unites behind you (which of course features all the survivors specifically praying for you) and not Tellah's death. If people remembered Tellah's death moreso than that moment I'd be absolutely shocked, considering how masterfully executed it is. Tellah's death is an afterthought compared to that lynchpin moment the entire game has been leading up to.
