'Artificial'? How so?

I was under the impression that it is rather widely considered to be one of the most shocking and iconic video game scenes to date.

There's other JRPG's - such as Legend of Dragoon and Shadow Hearts - that dared to kill off members of the main cast during the course of their story and it wasn't done just for shock value but because it tied into the story itself.
