Okay so I love FFIV desperately and have bought five different versions of it on five different consoles, but... yep.
I mean there is a lot of "I will sacrifice myself to save you!" throughout the entirety of the game with sooooo many characters, and the only one who actually stays dead is Tellah. (Palom and Porom I can excuse, because they are kids who used a spell to transform themselves, presumably the elder would have stronger magic.) It would've been so much better, really, if all these meaningful sacrifices with the sad music playing and the little head-bowed sprites afterwards... actually stuck.
Amusingly enough, this is why when I got to the end of disc 1 of Final Fantasy VII, I did not cry, or even feel particularly sad. Just waited to see what the resurrection would involve. Eventually realized I was at the end of the final dungeon and ... okay guess she's really dead. XD
