** In one of the last cutscenes, Alicia says "Welkin..." in the Japanese audio. What did the dubtitles say? "Thank you..." although she didn't thank Welkin anytime before or after that line in the Japanese audio.

* Both of the ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' games for the Dreamcast used dubtitles when the dialogue is set in Japanese with English subtitle, as many of the lines were rewritten for the English version. Notably, Dr. Eggman never addresses himself as "Dr. Robotnik" as in the Japanese script.

* In the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series, the characters of M. Bison, Balrog, and Vega had their names switched for the overseas versions of the games. This became a bit too obvious in ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'', which gives players an option between a Japanese or an English voice track. The subtitles are based on the English dub, which means that they use the overseas names of the characters, even if the voice acting is set to Japanese (i.e. the subtitles will display "Lord Bison" when a character is actually saying "Vega-sama").

* Honestly, that applies to every single game with dual audio option, ever. The number of paragraph-long lines in ''[[Disgaea]]'' that are single words in the Japanese audio, for example, is truly staggering.
