Line 152:
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', starting from roughly ''[[Final Fantasy VI|VI]]'' on, has been subtly doing this, poking holes in the concepts of [[The Chosen One]], the characters' dependency on [[Green Rocks]] or phlebotinum to solve their problems, cheerful heroes, sullen heroes, [[Heroic Sacrifice|Heroic Sacrifices]], and so on, all while diving deeply into [[Genre Busting]] waters. ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' is perhaps the most extreme example.
** Even before that, a common interpretation of ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' is that it was meant as a long, but loving, series of jabs and comedic deconstructions at common themes, characters, and plot points in the first four games. The GBA port only amplifies this.
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' as a whole is known for this. The first one deconstructs the original [[Metal Gear]] games as well as the [[Die Hard on an X]] formula, ''Sons of Liberty'' practically deconstructs the [[No Fourth Wall|entire concept of video gaming itself]] ([[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty/Recap|See here for more details]]), and ''Snake Eater'' does it for spy thrillers and Bond movies. Hell, the intro music, ''Snake Eater'', sounds like it came straight out of a Bond film.
** Actually, the first level of the game is a [[Bond Opening Sequence]] of about 30 to 90 minutes, that introduces the villains and starts the political crisis with a huge bang. Only then [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CbFAZ2ztlE#t=0m5s the actual intro starts that not only has James Bond intro music but also James Bond intro visuals]. The next scene is back in America where Naked Snake receives his briefing for the actual mission that is the game's plot.
* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' rips into [[To Be a Master]] and [[Gotta Kill Em All]] plots, showing just what kind of sick, twisted world an equally sick protagonist would actually ''want'' to participate in.
