For me, it was always Optimus Prime from The Transformers movie.

    I think, due to lack of diagnosis and medication, plus age - I was barely double digits - Aeris/Aerith in FF7.

    I had no spoilers. And it wasn’t so much the death itself, it was the fact that I had fucking FARMED shit for her. She’s healer coded? I already had a history with RPGs, and healers are worth their weight in gold.

    I think all that time and effort invested really solidified it.

    Also, I had phoenix downs. WTF?

      The ‘dead’ status is more properly ‘unconscious’ in Final Fantasy games, and is sometimes actually translated that way. FF5 even has a scene where they try using phoenix downs on a genuinely dead character and it doesn’t work.
