History TearJerker / FireEmblemAwakening

* Chrom and Lucina's A Support conversation, which is the first time she [[spoiler:ever gets to have her father comfort her.]]

* Not even the first generation characters are immune to BackstoryHorror. Henry is a prime example: his parents abandoned him and sent him to a BoardingSchoolOfHorrors for no reason other than they were just dicks. As a result, he had a horribly traumatic childhood, to the point where it completley broke him mentally. To get over it, he decided to take ThePollyanna UpToEleven: act incredibly optimistic and cheerful all the time, even will brutally killing people in the battlefield. He [[BecomingTheMask Became The Mask]], and [[BloodKnight it wasn't pretty.]] [[CreepyChild He now appears near-pychopathic to everyone he meets.]] Worse, if you get the generic event quote where he's asked about his dreams, he cheerfully admits he [[DeathSeeker wants to die a horrible bloody death that's completely painless.]] Just the fact that this guy got messed up ''so'' bad is deeply depressing in and of itself.

In the BadFuture, it was Yen'fay who survived and Say'ri was killed.]] [[SurvivorGuilt Yeah.]]

** Yarne is a LovableCoward who freaks out that he might die at so much as a bee sting. Hilarious. ...Until you find out ''why'' he's like that...

** The scene is similarly powerful if [[spoiler: the Avatar is Lucina's mother]].

** Severa completely dissociates herself from most people because she's afraid of getting her emotions betrayed after watching her father and "perfect" mother promise to come back...and never fulfill it. Because of the association with the former, she also takes failure really, really hard.

** If you [[FaceDeathWithDignity accept her judgment]] and are married to [[spoiler:Lucina]], you'll also remind her that your life had always been her's and you would gladly give your life for Chrom and especially for her. All you ask in return is that she'll find someone else who will take care of her so she won't ever be alone. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy All you want for her is to be happy]]. Afterwards, [[spoiler:Lucina]] has a [[WhatHaveIBecome "My Gods, What Am I Doing?"]] moment of what was she about to do and exclaims that [[HeartwarmingMoments she can't do it because she loves you too much]]. She then quickly apologizes and asks for your forgiveness.

* After Chapter 21, [[spoiler:Lucina]] confronts the Avatar and reveals that [[EtTuBrute he/she was the one who murdered Chrom in the Bad Future timeline]]. Even if it's not the Avatar's own free will, there's still possibility that he/she is [[spoiler:Validar's]] mind controlled ManchurianAgent. In order to prevent Chrom's death from happening in this timeline, she has has to kill you before you kill Chrom. You are even the option to accept [[spoiler:Lucina's]] judgement or not.

** Noire developed a severaly traumatised personality as a result of a combination of AbusiveParents and ParentalNeglect. Now she constantly swings between a ShrinkingViolet and ''a completley psychopathic'' ''BloodKnight''. She's also ''terrified'' and paranoid of curses.

* Chapter 10 is basically pure, condensed TearJerker in chapter form. As of [[WhamEpisode the previous chapter]] [[spoiler: your rescue mission was in vain, Emmeryn pulled a HeroicSacrifice anyway, her [[TheLancer Lancer]] Phila is dead too and Chrom is having a HeroicBSOD.]] Not only are you immidiately greated with a BattleInTheRain, but [[BGMOverride instead of the usual preparations theme]], you get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxLcjA1BG_8 this.]] And then you begin the actualy battle and [[SadBattleMusic are hit with]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIlEZjz_j8M THIS.]] As if it couldn't get any worse, ''none of the enemies actually want to fight you'', and [[AntiVillain the boss is one of the most sympathetic in the series.]] Ouch.
