Final Fantasy X. And the saddest thing of all? They made X-2.
yeah, final fantasy x was a sad ending and for anyone thinking of buying X-2, for the love of god, DON'T! i owned it and it just sucked hard.
X-2 is basically X with all the story removed and replaced with Barbie dress-up style fighting.

The Mario franchise is filled with sad endings. The princess is always kidnapped and an ordinary plumber puts his life in damage to save her. Although the princess is save and thankful for her rescue, she ignores the plumber.

The opening scene was just horrible. With that strangley catchy song that got stuck in my head for weeks which made me want to jam an ice pick in my eye and the Charlie's Angels-esque "Girl Power!" team. Ugghh, what happened to that game? It's like a Hannah Montana RPG!

that is why square should never make a direct sequeal to any of the old final fantasy games as it will probably suck.

Yes, this. (As an aside - and taking it as a given that an FFX sequel was a bad idea in the first place - I find it depressing that today's Square finds it difficult to put females in the spotlight without turning them into ridiculous pieces of ass or making the whole enterprise just ridiculous. Perhaps Lightning will turn this around, though the introduction of the Shiva Scissoring Motorcycle makes me dubious.)

Also, Phantasy Star II for the Genesis:

You destroy the Mother Brain computer controlling life in your solar system - which, unfortunately, means that the computerized systems used to control the weather, agricultural output, and atmosphere and keep life on your desert planet comfortably habitable are now useless. while you'e overthrown a stifling dictator, it's cold comfort; the pampered inhabitants accustomed to a once-idyllic existence have a hellish road ahead of them, and life has gotten considerably worse.

It's also implied that all the remaining heroes perish in the subsequent battle with the computer's creators, so happy times all around.

Zack and Wiki was pretty sad.

Sure, Barbaros had finally been defeated, but it didn't matter to Zack. I never saw Wiki's death coming. That was freaking bitersweet.

Okami didn't exactly have a sad ending, but (like Shadow of the Colossus) there was a really sad part before the ending.

Ammy's weird bug friend/painting teacher Issan had to leave her as she boarded the Ark of...something...that was heartbreaking. The whole ending was superb.

Dreamfall: the Longest Journey. But that doesn't really count because there are supposed to be sequels, i.e. the story isn't over yet. But as it seems less and less likely that those are going to be made, I would vote that ending as the saddest.
