Title says it all. What's the most powerful, exciting, shocking, game-changing moment of a Final Fantasy game to you? It can be any of the solo titles or even XI or course XIV!

Mine would hands down be when Cecil became a Paladin in FF IV. After trying to atone for the sins of his past and the stigma of being a Dark Knight, he had failure after failure,(seemingly) lost friends and loved ones, and was betrayed by his closest friend before his trip to Mount Ordeals. Becoming a Paladin set the story in a new direction, and was a pivotal moment for the whole saga. It allowed him to finally shed his doubts, gain confidence in himself and become the leader he needed to be to defeat Golbez and Zemus.
