It's that one moment where he finally loses his composure as Claire is about to walk away that does it for me every time. Literally the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen in any video game.
Layton: You saw your girlfriend die once? That's cute.

My first Layton game, which I just finished yesterday. This tore my heart out, threw it on the ground, and smashed it into tiny pieces. Thank you, Level 5 ;-;
When the credits rolled, I applauded and cried. That's right, I applauded my Nintendo DSi. First time I've ever done that. Layton really captures the emotions!
As the man who kept his composure as he lost so many close to him-to see him finally break... it's terrifying almost. He can't stay strong. He hides his pain.
I gotta say, the teary, puppydog-eyed Layton really got me crying, and then HE TOOK OFF HIS HAT, then I cried a friggin ocean. T^T The song really does it for me too. :'
*sniff* You know what really makes this sad? The fact that this is the first time Layton has EVER gotten emotional over something. The ending to Diabolical Box tore me apart, but he was fine. But here since he's losing Claire... it's different. And this is the first time he's taken his hat off. :')
damn i cried my whole heart after i saw this scene........... Even if you are a gentleman.....no man or gentleman could ever withstand the pain of losing the girl that you love dearest. For layton to lose his girl twice in one lifetime.....that is the most painful thing to go through....only time can ever truly heal a person's wounded heart.
@RAKSTAR1991 Same here Seeing Layton break out of his normally cool and calm demeanor to say that he doesn't want to say goodbye to Claire again really did it for me here.
When Professor Layton takes his hat off, and cries at the same time, you know it's got to be REALLY SERIOUS. I watched this scene earlier on my DS, I actually cried when the music kikced in when she said 'Goodbye', That was the part that was the strongest for me.
Every single freakin time I see this scene, my heart breaks and I start crying! Oh, how I wish I could be there to comfort the Professor...he didn't deserve all of this pain...and it breaks my heart every time I see it in his eyes...all of the pain and sadness...Oh Lord, I'm crying again! T.T
I just played this game and... I started crying when Clair told Hershel that she was Clair and didn't stop crying until the last puzzle :/ GAAAAAAAME! why you make me cry like a little baby??
See, this is a good ending to a Layton game. Curious village's ending was happy(ish), diabolical box was kinda sad, but this one takes the cake. It made my cry for a while when Clair left, but then Layton started crying. I mimicked him exactly. I finished the game 15 minutes ago.
In a story that I haven't wrote yet, after layton says "YOU CAN'T GO!" He yells at the top of his lungs "I LOVE YOU!" Then they have a little display of romance, which mother nature sees, and the mother nature decides to let claire stay. Then she says, "but if anything like this happens to you again, I won't cancel it."
Man...I was such a mess after I played this game... Poor Layton. Having to see his girfriend go twice. They were so cute together. And I always thought that Layton wore his hat because he was a gentleman, which he is, but now after this game, I realized that he wore it all the time because Claire told him to not take it off. And that was the last time he saw her...before that unfortunate event.
This is so sad... Layton loved Claire. Man, if I was the Professor, I would stop Claire after she said goodbye. And CyNz999, OF COURSE HE HAS HAIR!! Didn't you see the 7th scene? The over-the-shoulder Layton shots show the back of his head. HE HAS HAIR!
The sad thing about this scene is that once Claire vanishes, she gets transported back to the past right before the explosion kills her. Layton just saw Claire before she officially dies. That's pretty sad...
To paraphrase Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons: "Best. Cutscene. Ever." Seriously, considering this may be (it's been a while) the only time in the series that he took off his hat intentionally (which is slightly ironic ["So no taking it off." -Claire]) Great music, great visuals, great voice acting, great EVERYTHING. Also, it is amusing that she used his catchphrase: "After all, that's what a gentleman does." REALLY sad moment. Stupid character limit... I could rant on this for years!
There would be no way for her to live. It's impossible to save the death from their fate by traveling through the time and since the past can't be changed Claire has no choice but to go back.
Maybe it's because I saw the Japanese version of this scene first, but I liked that one better. At least they tried to sound like the Japanese voice actors in this one. :P Thank you very much for posting this!
@yamba01 I'm pretty sure that when Claire goes back to the past, she is specifically going back to the exact moment when the time machine explodes, because that was her entry point into the future to begin with. Unless...the makers of the games decide to have Claire somehow survive the accident when she travels back to her own time and reunite with Layton (in a future game).
This is really sad. Luke did you not hear the whole conversation? "Professor! She's gone!" Uuhhh... yes Luke, that's what the whole "I have to go" thing was for!
日本人のためにグーグルで ｢私は！…私今まで…ずっとキミの事を…！｣を日本語にしてきた！ You CAN,T go！ ｢あなたは、行くことができます！｣ I don't want to say Good-bye again. ｢私は、さよならをもう一度言いたくありません｣ I can,t I won,t ｢私はできません｣ ……？
Dammit. I cry easy at these games... I cry at Anton and Katia in Pandora's Box... I cry at Loosha and Anrrianna's angst in the Spectre's Call... NOW THIS! *cries*
Cried so hard at this. ;_; Why did she have to go....it was all Bill's fault in this game, if he hadn't of gone on with the experiment, Claire would have lived. They really should sue him >:I
This scene is the first thing in a video game to make me cry. And I'm a girl--and a pretty sentimental one at that. It's also one of my favorite scenes overall in a game. Professor Layton is such a cool character, but my favorite moments in these games are when he loses his cool. I think that might be why this scene is so sad. This character who can fly his car off of a giant death machine without so much as batting an eye is now in shambles.
@xKatjax14 There's no future claire because she's dead in the past. When she died, the time machine accident she was involved in sent a portion of her 10 years into the future, but her molecular structure won't let her stay there...obviously :P
Saddest cutscene in any game I ever played. At least they didn't say "I love you" otherwise a lot more people would be crying harder. Second time I've watched this scene and it's still hard to hold back tears T_T
Me: **starting to cry** **PROFESSOR TAKES OFF HIS HAT** Me: **stops tearing up** :D OMG I feel kind of bad for not crying just because he took off his hat XD
