While not technically the game’s ending, I very much appreciate the final cut-scene of Mass Effect 3's citadel dlc. The entirety of the dlc is so much fun, and delivers in terms of fan-service; watching these characters that you’ve grown to love and appreciate over the course of the series get together, party and try to live the remainder of their lives to the fullest before facing the greatest threat of their entire existence felt special, and compared to all the over-the-top shit that actually happens during the dlc, the ending to it is low-key, and somber. The music is poignant, and the way Mark Meer, as Shepard, wistfully utters “...the best,” before soaking in the view one last time and running after his friends always gets me.

I used to be a bigger cry baby back in the day - I vividly remember bawling like a baby when Wormmon died in, like, Digimon Part Two - but now I have to make a point to not cry at things other people do so I can laugh at them even while I'm tearing up the whole time because I'm an emotional sap.

Final Fantasy X has definitely made me cry over the years. The ending, especially, but Tidus' theme just gives me so much absolute nostalgia that it makes my eyes water up when I hear it. The same thing with the piano version of Yuna's Ballad from FFX-2, actually, but you will never hear me say that X-2 gave me any semblance of emotions ever again. Okami's ending makes me tear up with, like, happy tears just because it's so heckin' GOOD. I can't really think of any other video game that's even really come close to waterworks, though. I screamed a lot at 7th Dragon III because the late game of that is kind of absolute suffering, but it's a little hard to sob over little low poly chibi-headed dudes, sdjkflhkjdsfh. Apparently, 7th Dragon 2020 is gonna wreck me even WORSE once I'm out of the early game, and I believe that, considering how many feelings it's given me in just the first two areas.

The Fault in Our Stars was something I enjoyed way more on a first read through than any other time I experienced it. Honestly, I'm not even sure I like it anymore. I got pretty choked up at once scene involving the mom, though - I can't even remember which one - because in that moment, she sounded really similar to MY mom, and I was like, "I NEVER WANT MY MOTHER TO FEEL THIS WAY EVER, HECK YOU, BOOK." Never Let Me Go was actually pretty... boring when I read it, but I read a short story that was set in a similar universe to it, inspired directly by it, and boy howdy, did that short story absoutely destroy me. It accomplished everything the book tried to do in a fraction of the time and with ten times the intensity.

Rock operas don't fall into any of the listed categories, but I should mention that Streets: A Rock Opera has made me cry more than onec and will probably continue to make me cry. The trials and tribulations DT goes through aren't really relatable by themselves, but the emotional dilemmas and how they're portrayed hits really close to home for me. The ending song, where things aren't necessarily happy, but things are definitely hopeful moves me to tears. There are people out there who care about you and believe in you. As long as they're out there, even if you can't reach them no matter how distant, you are not alone.

I cried at Saving Private Ryan. I cried even harder at Schindler's List. I think I cried happy tears at Rocky? So much for being an emotionaless rock, sdlkfhsdkfjhdskjhf.

AAAAAAAAAAAAND I SOBBED THROUGH THE ENTIRE LAST THREE EPISODES OF MADOKA. I had to periodically pause to scrub away my tears because I was crying so hard I couldn't see the sub-titles. I've watched it so many times that I don't cry anymore, but when I bought the manga adaptions and read through them the first time, I cried all over again. Madoka makes me weak. There's a reason it still sits prettily as my favorite animu of them all.

the only one i can think of off the top of my head right now is violet evergarden i've had to watch it in pieces because i've cried at the end of every episode and my heart hurts as i finish it. it hurts so good

on a completely different level of ultimate feels, the adventure zone has made me tear up and laugh all at the same time.
