Saddest videogame moments

[Mutsukki]

[SPOILER= Professor Layton and the Unwound Future @puggsoy]

I can't play any Layton game anymore without feeling sorry for him, this ending is indeed really sad, which makes the game even better. I just wish they would play the ending with lyrics instead of instrumental, it's a beautiful song

The fact that the new games are set before The Curious Village make it OK, but that's still after Claire was killed in the original explosion. It's just that him seeing her in the future, and knowing that she had to go back... that makes it so much worse. I really hate Bill Hawks.
Still, I want to know what happens after that, though. Being the gentleman that he is, Layton would probably get over it fairly quickly (at least on the outside). I recall the final cutscene where Luke goes having a "To be continued" on the end, so I really do hope there are more games, or at least some kind of media, set after the Unwound Future.

As for the music, I think it was fine: all the PL tracks are pure instrumental, and changing this one would be weird. I understand that in most movies, sad scenes like this have one or other solemn song playing, and that people would prefer that. However I like lyric-free music in general, and I think that the music did more than enough, it really fit well.
I love PL music

Ah, what I meant is that, the original song in japanese is beautifully sung, which adds a little to the mood, but it's a good song anyway:



Fun fact: Every Layton ending theme has lyrics
