Star Control 2, when you show the Yehat the fact that the Shofixti have returned and the Yehat realize they've been fighting an injust war for terrible reasons and decide to rise up against the empire -- awesome.
Fallout 2, when you get back to your village with the G.E.C.K. at last only to be too late.
Skies of Arcadia...lots of things. It was almost as well-written as FF7. When you get back to Pirates Island to find your family's been taken, when you rescue them from the arena, the time you have to fight Ramirez and lose, when you're running from Galcian on the train -- awesome game. Anyone who has a GC should check out SoA Legends, if you didn't get it for the DC.
Finally Shenmue and Shenmue 2, again, just about everything. When you rescue your gf and ride home on your motorcycle, when the man who killed your father gets away, when all the money you worked for goes missing and you don't know what you're going to do, and when you realize you're up against 60 guys and your friend comes and the two of you have to fight them all together...awesome!
Great thread idea.
