Fire Emblem Awakening features the most powerful stablishing character moment I've ever seen tbh. The first, the very first shot you see of Chrom is him getting stabbed by the protagonist, collapsing on the ground, and as he's clearly dying the only thing he says is Hey. This is not your fault. Promise me you'll survive this. Like ok game fine I don't know who this man is yet but I will kill for him.
