Really, any Final Fantasy game could appear on this list. They're all exhaustively long adventures with twists, turns and betrayals galore; completing one really is an emotional journey. There's something especially harrowing about Final Fantasy VI though; it's one of the more bizarre titles in the series (the main villain does resemble a court jester, after all) but it's far deeper than those first impressions. How many other games feature the villain actually annihilating the world and killing countless people in an instant? Yep, while there are reasons behind some villains' evil actions, Kefka embodies a line applied to another Jester-like villain and simply wants to watch the world burn. He actually manages it too, forever altering the world of Final Fantasy VI to create the World of Ruin. Your party then has to deal with the consequences of these actions, creating a far darker game than anything we'd seen up to this point. That's not even the most shocking event, either. Your first steps in the World of Ruin will be with Celes as she lies stranded on an island in the middle of an ocean with a man named Cid as company. Here, Celes can potentially kill Cid by unknowingly giving him unhealthy food; if this happens, she will attempt suicide by throwing herself off a cliff - it's unbelievably shocking stuff. Final Fantasy VI is a great game (often touted as the best in the series) but man, it's a real drain on your emotions.
I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
