Line 412:
* In ''[[Phantasy Star]] II'', the first person you meet hits you with a triple whammy: "Good morning, <player>. How are you? Almost two years have passed since you started working for me, the Commander of Mota. As you know, Algo has been brought up by Mother Brain..."
* Fallen into in the unskibbable tutorial in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', which seems perfectly plausible until you realize that while you as the player really need the information on basic controls, your current character is a soldier in the middle of battle who really should not have to be told how to attack enemies, open gates, and run away from battle. The military cannot have been that desperate.
* ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' as well as ''[[Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' occasionally did this during the tutorials with characters asking if they needed to explain things and otherwise say things like "Oh sorry, ''of course'' you know how to do that! Silly me!" (After all, [[He Knows About Timed Hits]].)
* Subverted in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. Cloud can enter a tutorial hall to brush up on the basics, but when NPCs offer to give him pointers, he will decline and instead offer to teach ''them''. He makes it clear that he knows his stuff.
* Rather [[Egregious]] in ''[[Quest for Glory III]]'', which literally begins with an "As you know..." where the events of the second game are related to the main character, who actually caused all of them to happen. Either he has Swiss cheese memory, or Aziza does.
