Numerous endings was part of it, but very few games actually kill off the main character, and replace him with the primary antagonist of the first half of the game with the option of not resurrecting him. Add in the option of visiting his mother without him, and you are a far cry from your typical JRPG. I'm sure a lot of us weren't even 10 years old when that happened. The antithesis to the power fantasy you get from most games. Go up against the big baddie, and get disintegrated in an instant.
Compare that to even FF7. Was there ever a doubt of Cloud and Tifa returning to the party?
