Give me your Top 5 Heartbreaking OSTs

[ArchlordZero]

Here are my Top 5 Heartbreaking OSTs in order:
1. If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking (Honkai Star Rail)
2. Niji no Kanata Ni (Sword Art Online)
3. Ichiban no Takaramono / My Most Precious Treasure (Angel Beats)
4. Avid (86)
5. Stardust Memory (Blazblue)

I ranked these based on how heavy the song touched me (or how long I cried internally).
What are yours?

 

[SailusGebel]

I can't rank them, so I will list them in no particular order.
1.

Berserk
2.

Berserk
3.

FF15
4.

Everlasting Summer
5.

Destiny Child

 

[Pixytokisaki14]

1. Nightglow (Honkai Impact 3rd)
2. Never Forget (HALO 3)
3. Kevin Kaslana (Honkai Impact 3rd)
4. Regression (Honkai Impact 3rd)
5. Alkaline Tears (Blue Archive)

I would include Moon Halo from honkai Impact 3rd, but thats more of a song for courage rather than sadness. Even though the animated cutscene that came with it made me weep multiple times, but more tears of being proud and cheering rather than sadness.

 

[DannyTheDaikon]

1. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder (Dark Souls)
2. Grandma (Nier Replicant)
3. Great Grey Wolf Sif (Dark Souls)
4. The Beginning of the Story (Liz and the Blue Bird)
5. The Ultimate Price (Violet Evergarden)

 

[Bast]

In no particular order, and with the OSTs that come to mind at the moment:
- Leaves from the Vine (from ATLA)

These ones are melancholic more than heartbreaking
- Brothers (from Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Kokoro no Kakara (from Ni no kuni)
- Blish's Sorrow (from GW2)
- Stoik's Funeral (from HTTYD)

Edit: Autocorrect made OST into Post

 

[TotallyHuman]

OST? Do normal songs count?

 

[Syringe]

First of all, thank you for this question. You unlocked a lot of good, nearly forgotten memories for me.

 

[RedHunter2296]

I don't have time right now to make a list, but I'll leave one that marked me for life. The context is great, but the challenge of the game was just to solve a Sudoku in three minutes. The real challenge was to see the Sudoku despite not being able to see through so many tears on the screen.

 

[Graceful_Ghost]

This is my top 1! I cannot put rankings 2 and below, its just difficult. I highly recommend listening this with headphones!

 

[Sleds]

I didn't remember much apart these two.

 

[BigBadBoi]

And finally the Goslingbros' national anthem.the real tragedy is all the comments

[GhoulDrago]

Ooh you dug up some old memories with this one
Shounen Ki (Nobita's little space war) it's from an animated movie.

Heritors of Arcadia from FE Echoes: Shadows of Valentina

I guess Undertale OST: Respite? A lot of such OSTs tbh

Hyrule Castle's theme from BOTW (both outside and inside, the transition really drives it in)

Godot's theme from Ace Attorney. Not sad in of itself, but becomes sad once you learn a lot of stuff.

All listed in no particular order, I wanna add more sometimes tbh

Edited:
AHHH feck! Outer Wilds soundtrack! the one with all instruments, that one too! dammit you're going to make me listen to all soundtracks I've ever heard!
Edit 2:
Real and Ideal from Persona 5 too.



Goddammit I started to listen to all these sad songs because of the post. i wanna cry ugh.
