Thank you for posting this, and the book is even worse about it. He just dies and they just leave him where he drops without another word, I think they actualy go for some of the ice cream the vendors are selling nearby right after.Zap Rowsdower said:
And as for my addition
Yeah, it really was a bit of a sudden thing, wasn't it? He was my favorite character, too...Zirat said:
Zelos Wilder's death in Tales of Symphonia (assuming you choose that path). As he is my avatar, I might be a bit biased, though.
Metal Gear Solid 3
The Boss. Saves her country, sacrifices everything, but has to be remembered as a traitor by everyone except the one who killed her. Oh by the way, she was killed by someone who was like a son/brother/husband/soul-mate-thing to her.
Grand Admiral Thrawn from Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. I mean, I know he was the villain, but damn what a villain.
"But it was so artistically done...."

Root from Artemis Fowl, or Kaiden from Mass Effect. Two of the saddest moments in fictional history...
Edit: Also, General Hummel from The Rock.

Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid 1. A tear-jerking scene.
"I was born on a battlefield. Raised on a battlefield. Gunfire, sirens and screams... they were my lullabies... Hunted like dogs, day after day... driven from our ragged shelters... That... was my life. Each morning, I'd wake up... and find a few more of my family or friends dead beside me. I'd stare at the morning sun... and pray to make it through the day. The governments of the world turned a blind eye to our misery. But then... he appeared. My hero... Saladin... he took me away from all that... "

Maybe it's just me, but...
[spoiler: Spoilers] In Red VS Blue: Reconstruction, Church (AKA the Alpha AI!) went to distract the Meta while Agent Washington activated the EMP (sorry, the Emph), claiming it wouldn't effect him, since he is, in his own words "a motherfucking ghost".
Turns out that those were his last words, as Word of God states that the Alpha is effectively gone. This depresses me, because the Church we've all come to know and love, who's been there from the very beginning, is gone. (Not that I have anything against Epsilon, but in his current condition, he won't be able to do anything...) [/spoiler]

Edit:
Also, the death of Severus Snape in the last Harry Potter book, especially since I was one of those people who saw him as a villain. Boy was I wrong....
And suffice to say, Dumbledore's death hit me really hard as well.

Well, Aeris/Aerith is kind of a given when it comes to depressing fictional character deaths.
There is one that hit me pretty hard that I don't see listed here and it's from the Studio Ghibli film "Grave of the Fireflies":
Setsuko, the main character's little sister. She dies of malnutrition right after he managed to bring her food and he subsequently gave up on life and also died. It's the single most depressing movie I have ever seen; I haven't even gathered the courage to watch it a second time.
