Line 197: ** Likewise, in nearly every game in which he appears, you can make Juggernaut stop charging and fall over by hitting him enough. Nothing stops the Juggernaut... except a punch or two. * At one point in the RPG ''Gorky [[17/Odium\|Odium]]'', {{spoiler\|your [[The Medic\|team medic]] gets attacked and poisoned by an invisible monster, cannot be cured, and dies at the end of the battle (and states that the grotesquely deformed bodies you found earlier are, too, victims of this poison).}} Near the end of the game, you battle a group of these monsters, but their poison can be cured away and only does minor damage like any other monster's poison. * The Buster Sword is a particularly [[Egregious]] example of this in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. Its attack power and materia slots are some of the lowest in the game, but Cloud is always depicted wielding it in cutscenes, no matter what he's actually equipped with. This also applies to the rest of the characters-no matter what weapon they're equipped with, official art and cutscenes always shows them with the crappy, low-rent equipment they started with. Similar things happen in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', with characters seemingly picking their cutscene weapons at random. The same happens with ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''. Lloyd is a partial exception, as he starts out with a pair of wooden swords, soon switches to a pair of metal ones, and around the time he gets the Material Blade from Kratos and Dirk, he starts using that. The player will most likely have the Material Blade on Lloyd for much of the endgame, and there is a [[Justified Trope\|justification]] for him using it in cutscenes ({{spoiler\|The Eternal Sword's power flows into the Material Blade}}), but he' always wielding the Material Blade regardless of what weapon you have. * In the [[Baldur's Gate]] series and other Infinity Engine games, there are a number of resurrection spells and items that can bring your group members back from the dead. However, when the plot calls for a character to die, they die... and the option of resurrection is never even brought up. ** Irritating example: The background fluff in [[Baldur's Gate]] claims that lots of people prefer carrying handy little gems instead of weighty gold coins. For the player, the utility is reversed: Gold is weightless and its value is precise, while gems' values are unknown and they clutter up your limited inventory space.
