Line 2:
Sometimes, beating a game will unlock the ability to play as ''another character entirely'', presenting a different storyline, often parallel to the main one, which unfolds to reveal a side of the story you never knew before...or perhaps simply an amusing [[Perspective Flip]], where the former heroes are now villains or incidental side characters.
Ever wonder just what the [[Sidekick]]/the [[Rival]]/the [[Well
Compare [[New Game Plus]], [[Lower Deck Episode]] & [[The Rashomon]]. If, instead of a game mode, you get an entire sequel like this, it's a [[POV Sequel]]. If, instead, only the good guys get such a perspective, then you have [[No Campaign for The Wicked]].
{{examples
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' and its [[PS 2]] remake feature "Reverse/Rebirth", in which you guide Riku through the castle at the same time as and just after Sora goes through it.
Line 16:
*** The [[Play Station Vita]] remake of ''Disgaea 3'' will have ''four'' new scenarios, including one starring two entirely new characters made for the port.
** ''[[Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten]]'' will get a [[DLC]] scenario of the main character's past, as well as another one starring Fuka and Desco.
* The Wii and PSP ports of ''[[Phantom Brave]]'' have an [[Alternate Continuity]] called "Another Marona" where right before the plot of the main story, [[
* This is absurdly common in [[Nippon Ichi]] remakes. The PSP remake of ''[[La Pucelle (Video Game)|La Pucelle]]'' has an alternate story mode involving Overlord Priere, while the PSP port of ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'' will have a new story mode starring new character, Zetta's Daughter, Petta (The mode is fittingly called "Papa is the Strongest Overlord".
* ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|Fire Emblem: The Sword of Flame]]'' has Hector's Story, where you play as Hector (no, really?). Thing is, with the exception of the first chapter, three added side-quests (including a side-quest ''to a side quest''), two extra mandatory chapters, an extra character in one of the extra chapters, an extra character in a chapter that ''was'' there in Eliwood's story but just never showed up for some reason, [[Overly Long Gag|a few dialogue changes, the placement of the enemies, and the two extra endings you could get by playing some or all of the aforementioned side-quests]], it's basically the same thing. Yes, that sounded like a [[Long List]], but really, in a game like ''[[Fire Emblem]]'', that's not a lot of stuff. The music was generally better, though.
Line 50:
* Completing ''[[Bunny Must Die]]'' with sufficient time power-ups unlocks ''Chelsea and the 7 Devils'', where you play through the same levels as the antagonist Chelsea. In this case, ''7 Devils'' is not simply a perspective flip, but an attempt by the characters to turn back time and change the past.
** While being Bunny's last boss (as Bunny is Chelsea's last non-anticlimactic boss), they're not really antagonists, as they either ignored or coincidentally helped each other throughout.
* Gathering 104 of the [[
* ''[[Star Wars]]: Empire at War'' lets one play as the Rebellion (canon) and Empire (non-canon but epic), with their own missions and accessible planets.
** Star Wars games in general love retreading film territory.
