13 Greatest Dying Words From Video Game Characters

2. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)

The line: "I will... never be a memory" Although he goes full banana-sandwich insane throughout the second half of FF7, Sephiroth's motivations aren't entirely un-relatable on some level, as the poor guy finds out he's a manufactured experiment rather than anything of a natural creation. This is of course what leads him to burn down Nibelheim in one of the game's many recognisable scenes, but far after this he transforms into a being of incredible power that you must take down. His final line was given the fan-nod in the animated movie Advent Children, as Sephiroth is brought back from the brink once again for the sake of a big smash-fest with Cloud. Again he loses to Cloud's Omnislash attack, and again he utters this now tattoo-worthy line, ending both the original game and that movie in a way only the most memorable of badasses can.
