Dunno if its life-affirming or just generally sweet, but in FFXVI Clive goes to meet his uncle, who has believed him dead for the past decade and a bit. When he gets there his uncle's men allow him in, then his uncle enters, axe drawn, and demands to know why he shouldn't just behead this impostor.

Question: Is there a game, or even a moment from a game, that you feel is genuinely life affirming?

His uncle, stunned, continues on the script, and realizes that only his nephew could have truly known this would affect him so, and breaks down into tears upon realizing he's alive.
They even kinda look similar, he had the same beard.
