Maybe it's just because I already knew it was coming, but I just played through FF7 for the first time and Aeris' death was honestly pretty lame. You didn't
really know what she was doing there until much later when you find out about holy, and I don't think they quite built it up enough. Also, I hate to be one of those guys, but the scene really could've used some blood. Just seeing the sword go through her like she was a giant sentient piece of butter looked a bit silly.
I did, however, really like how they played Aeris' theme throughout the Jenova-Life battle, and when Cloud lies her in the water, it was somewhat emotional. The death itself just didn't have much of an impact.
On topic: When the giant metroid is killed in Super Metroid. Theme of Samus starts playing and you get the hyper beam, hellbent on getting revenge on that asshole Mother Brain for killing your friend. Fucking awesome.
Also, despite the fact that I've probably beaten the game over 20 times, the ending of Super Mario RPG, when Geno goes back to Star Road and it goes through and shows everyone rebuilding the world, always moves me. I'm sure a lot of it is based on nostalgia, but its such a happy ending that just fits the game perfectly.
