I know this has been seen a lot on different forums but I wanna see what people think the saddest death scenes in videogames are. Mine would either be aeris in ff7 or rikiya in yakuza 3. Aeris because she was one of your strongest defensive characters and had great spells that helped you and suppressed the enemy plus she was a love interest for cloud but it got cut short by sephiroth before anything could happen. And now for Rikiya in yakuza 3. This is definitely at the top of the saddest moments in video game history. You meet this guy at the beginning of the game. He works for a local yakuza family and tries to beat up kazuma for something. But later you team up with his family and become really good friends with him, his boss, and his friend mikyo.
****************************************SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOLIERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILER***************************************************By the end of the game you go and try to rescue rikiya's boss from a bullring on the outskirts of Okinawa. After a lengthy fight between you and the head of the tamashiro family members a cutscenes occurs with kazuma talking to rikiya and rikiya's boss seeing if rikiya's boss was alright. What they didn't notice was tamashiro was still conscious and was about to shoot Kazuma. Rikiya saw this and blocked the shot... With himself. The bullet went reigns through his heart and in his dying moments he said he finally became a man and he died for something. It made me almost come to tears and the main character a tough, deep voiced, Japanese, former yakuza member cry.
