Line 104:
** Played a bit differently in ''Ten Desires''. The final boss's power is listening to ten people at once, or rather, to their Ten Desires.
*** Also, her last Spellcard is called '''"Falling Stars on Divine Spirit Mausoleum"''', "Divine Spirit Mausoleum" being the game's Japanese title.
** The fangame ''Concealed the Conclusion'''s Stage 5 is titled '''Concealed the Conclusion''' ([[Gratuitous English|in English, in a Japanese game]]). Ironically, it is also the stage where the [[Dream Apocalypse|conclusion]] is ''[[Wham! Episode|revealed]]''.
*** The game's Japanese title, ''Mushuugeki'', appears in the title music theme, "'''Dream End Drama''' ~ Border between Dream and Reality".
* You know that stuff just got real when humans bring in their ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'' dreadnought class. No other space conquest game has a suitable name.
Line 159:
** Strangely enough, in later games they're referred to as "the Sacred Rings" by the Covenant.
** In the first game, Cortana drops the title of one of the soundtrack pieces during a cutscene in the first level. "With all respect, Captain. This war already has '''Enough Dead Heroes'''". Later, the first chapter of "Two Betrayals" is named after another song, "The Gun Pointed At the Head of the Universe".
* In most games ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, the subtitle inevitably gets dropped early on, pointing a giant neon arrow at something important. No points for guessing the Ocarina of Time is going to be important in a game called ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]''.
** [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]''. To quote Groose "Nice going, you two. You guys were totally amazing in this little adventure I like to call the Legend of ''Groose''". So close, yet so far.
*** Although the game's opening cinematic (one of two if you wait around at the title screen) is an interesting example. It ends with "Now, a new legend bound to this great story stands ready to be revealed. A legend that will be forged by your own hand." In the trailer version of this cinematic, it ends with the game's logo. In the actual game, it boots you back to the title screen to fill it out with "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA".
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', Midna refers to Zelda early on as the "Twilight Princess," mocking the fact that her kingdom has descended into Twilight. {{spoiler|Turns out she was just screwing with everyone--''Midna'' is the real Twilight Princess}}.
* A case 2 happens ''[[Professor Layton and The Unwound Future]]'' (called ''...and the Last Time Travel'' in Japan and ''...and the Lost Future'' in Europe), where the second part is the last words said by {{spoiler|Claire, Layton's girlfriend, before being sent back to the moment of her death 10 years ago by a faulty time machine.}} The phrase was slightly changed with each version to match each localized title.
** In ''[[Professor Layton and The Diabolical Box]]'', the last of the secret puzzles is called "The Diabolical Box" (for good reason, being an especially difficult block-pushing puzzle).
Line 180:
{{quote| '''Liu Kang:''' ''Face me in '''Mortal Kombat'''.''}}
* The First and Second Reconstructions in ''[[The Reconstruction (Video Game)|The Reconstruction]]''. Subverted in that they're only minor backstory events that are only briefly mentioned once each throughout the entire game (and you won't get any details unless you read Ques' glossary).
** And then played straight with a [[Wham! Line]] in chapter 6:
{{quote| "{{spoiler|Everything we once knew and loved has vanished from this world. We are the only surviving chance for reconstruction.}}"}}
* In ''[[Master of Orion (Video Game)|Master of Orion]] 2'', the movie that plays after the player wins declares him or her the Master of Orion.
