Games Spoiling Themselves, try II

So, an update to the story from the last topic (which got derailed into something about a Zelda MMO, which is why this is a new topic): After reading the wiki for Dragon Age, I discovered that what I assumed would happen to put the Secret Character in your party isn't actually correct.

Which means the game didn't, actually, spoil itself that badly. (Plus I should say this was technically DLC. DLC that came with the game, but still somehow DLC.)

BUT I'M STILL MAD.

    I kind of felt this way about Persona 4.

    It seemed pretty suspicious that there was no S.Link with Adachi.

    I thought Batman: Arkham Asylum had spoiled itself by being based on one of the best-selling Graphic Novels of all time but lo and behold it was only superficially related.

    Yeah, I honestly wasn't sure if I was supposed to be surprised about that at all.

    What would an A Serious House on Serious Earth video game even look like, anyhow...?

    The fact that Aeris gets her ultimate weapon and final Limit Break by Disc 1.

    Or the fact that before the last dungeon before the end of disc 1, all of Aeris' equipment and materia are unequiped.

    I thought it unequipped because she ran away and left it behind, just like Tifa did when they did that one thing.

    Usually if a character just leaves the party, you can still access their gear and check out their stats to avoid the headache of having to reequip them again. Usually. So when a character leaves the party and doesn't take their stuff... you know something is up.


    However, I hate it when a character leaves a party forever and takes their stuff with them.

    Fire Emblem.

    Y U NO GIVE ME SIEGLINDE?

    @Edge: OH YEAH THAT. I REMEMBER THAT.

    I already knew Aeris was going to die so it wasn't a real spoiler BUT STILL.
  • SaigyoujiSaigyouji
    But you never had any to begin with.
    I didn't know Aeris was going to die. I played FFVII in 2008. ...Yeah.

    Aeris would just give her flowers to anyone with a giant sword it seems.

    Moral Crisis rings a bell.

    ...Uh... Um...

    Ocarina of Time spoiled Ganondorf getting the triforce by only having three dungeons before you go to the temple of time?

    ...;.; I don't play enough games

    Well, if things like that count, in Golden Sun it's pretty obvious you won't be able to stop the villains from lighting Mercury Lighthouse on account of it being so early. I guess if you didn't know there was a second game it would be reasonable to think you'd stop them at Venus.

    Actually, thinking about it, pretty much every game has that kind of thing.

    Better one: In Final Fantasy VI you get to choose names for party members as soon as they appear, even if that's ages before they actually join your party. Although I guess that's better than having party members change names when they join, like a certain villain-turned-ally in Chrono Trigger.

    They call me Rate Miser, whatever I see... turns overrated in my eyes...
    An arcade flyer of R-Type has a pic of the final boss inside (Possibly NSFW for showing the infamous second boss). (Though it doesn't say exactly what level each picture is from, you can tell which one is the spoiler)

    The video for the Irem Arcade Hits download also spoils R-Type Leo's final boss.

    Oh, yeah, there's the "party member screen" in VI that came up without fail the first time the party member appeared.

    Really, that could've been worse than Dragon Age if VI had had a secret party member. Or, well, a spoiler party member anyway; it does have a secret one but xe's hiding inside a giant snake if I remember correctly.
