I don't look at the list at all, just wanted make sure the top 1 is correct. And yes, it is. And I accidently saw the last Crono, which was surprising back then too. I really thought Crono was dead back then. And because of this, later with Aerith I thought we will revive her.

Not looking at the rest of the list, because there might be spoilers for me. Have a nice rest of your day.

The first three, so much.

Also, I’m gesturing wildly and vaguely at the whole Life is Strange series. The one death in the first one I’m thinking of is just part of it. I feel like the whole thing is heart wrenchingly sad.

Oh yeah. Johnny Silverhand. And in case you missed it, most of his memories are false. Morgan Blackhand did most of what Johnny is known for. And a couple of his friends sold him out. He wasn’t really killed per se, his mind was trapped in a digital hell and then he woke up in a crazy chick’s head who wanted him out and that’s basically the game. You play the chick. Johnny starts out as the bad guy but by the end you’re rolling to die for him. Because he’s basically Keanu Reeves.

Shepard. Both times.

Also Aerith, because she was my healer the whole time, and pulled me out of many a situation. I genuinely felt a 'oh shit, what am I gonna do now?' because I became reliant on her spells.

Ghost of Tsushima. Speed-climbing up a cliff. At the top of a cliff, I get charged by a wild boar and it knocks me all the way to the bottom of cliff for a falling death.
