I just read an article describing a recent study concluding that video games can enduce emotions... in particular Role-Playing games topped the genres, but specifically Final Fantasy... I think we all know what would be the most emotional moment in the series (ff7), but if you want to read the study, I found it pretty interesting:

If you haven't played FF7, there ARE spoliers ahead.
I for one, never get real emotional w/ video games... I can be a little empathetic, but I never cry or feel deeply saddened by a GAME. I guess I lack imagination or don't get too attached. Even in movies... It takes a lot to get me emotionally going.
