Expedition 33, the gem, made me think of this. There is no specific order, but my top 10 is as followed.
- 
OG Aerith - the unexpectedness of it. Her kind heart and wonderful personality. And to be taken away like that.
 - 
Noctis - He grew on me during my 167 hours with FFXV. Him and his bros were inseperable. That final campfire hurt.
 - 
Lee Everett - Everything he did for Clem and then he goes out like that. He was a boss.
 - 
Dom - Marcus’s bro. Seeing how pitiful he became in GoW 3. Death was a relief.
 - 
Ghost and Roach - WTF Shepard…
 - 
Gustave - I fell in love with his relatability. He was just this normal dude doing an inhuman task and he did it well. Made great bonds. Badass arm. And then… gone.
 - 
Zack Fair - The opposite of emo Cloud. This dude loved life and he sacrificed his to save his buddy.
 - 
Galuf - Went out like a Chad to Exdeath.
 - 
The Virmire sacrifice - regardless of whether it was Ashley or Kaiden, the fact that they were gone for good because of your choice hurt like hell.
 - 
Crono - Talk about a plot twist.
 


Yup. This. To the point where, playing FFVII the first time I was like “Oh, shit, better not give Aerith anything important…”
