Line 88:
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'': {{spoiler|Anyone who's been sacrificed to an [[Human Resources|Exsphere or Cruxis Crystal]] suffers this fate, even if they retain their body to a degree, like [[The Woobie|Colette]] and [[Emotionless Girl|Presea]]. Most who do retain their ability to speak after becoming an Exsphere beg to be killed or have the Exsphere broken, even the [[Big Bad]]. Most of the time, [[The Hero]] Lloyd ends up shattering the thing and freeing the person's soul, but in the sequel, even though his ''own MOTHER'''s soul is trapped in ''HIS CRUXIS CRYSTAL'' and he knows this, he's still using it.}}
** He uses it because he has to. Since he's collecting Exspheres to destroy, he's going to have to fight people who have Exspheres and don't want to give them up. Without an Exsphere himself, he would be putting himself in a lot of danger fighting an opponent better equipped then him. In the sequel Sheena DOES say that eventually the original cast is going to have to give up their Exspheres, too. But for the moment, so long as other people have Exspheres, they need to keep them since they're the people governments trust to do things.
** And then in ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', {{spoiler|Richter's}} fate if you get the neutral or good ending is like this. {{spoiler|He has to burn alive for as long as the mana in his body lasts, functioning as a living door to the demon world. According to Ratatosk, it'll take 1000 years for him to be able to free Richter. So if Richter's mana can last that long, he'll be free. If not... [[The End of the World as We Know It|well...]]}}
*** We know he'll last the full thousand years. {{spoiler|He acquired/tried to acquire two items. One let him burn mana for fiery power and the other gave him unlimited mana. He uses the former in your boss battle against him}}
* The point-and-click adventure game ''[[Uninvited (video game)|Uninvited]]'' had two endings where you become a member of the undead. Made especially creepy as it was nearly all text, narrated in second person and played dead-serious.
Line 143:
** He's not very pleased about this, especially when he finds out this [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|caused Aran to forget him.]]
*** Well think about it: {{spoiler|Maha}} had to sit {{spoiler|in the polearm}} for hundreds of years. He can't speak to Aran over the distance and is possibly kept sane by the thoughts of Aran coming to save him. Cue Aran walking past him several times, not noticing him. When Aran finally sees {{spoiler|Maha}} again Aran's forgotten all about him.
* A nice handful of people in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' have pretty horrible fates. No worries, though. [[Messianic Archetype|Sora]]'s probably going to save 'em, along with any other good person who dies and/or disappears in the series.
** Also implied to happen to Ansem the Wise after the betrayal of his apprentices, when he was trapped in the realm of Darkness {{spoiler|1=and became DiZ.}}
*** {{spoiler|Special mention goes to Terra's fate; his Heart endured [[And I Must Scream]] by entering an unending [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]] with Master Xehanort, which has been going on for over ten years. His ''soul'', on the other hand, is trapped inside of his armor and marooned on a virtually inaccessible world, unable to focus on anything besides his hatred for Xehanort and his promise that he will, someday, set things right. It's little wonder that the Lingering Sentiment is a ''tad'' unbalanced when Sora accidentally encounters him, having a brief breakdown when Sora's presence reminds him of Xehanort and rampaging until Sora beats him to calm him down.}}
