** Several scenes throughout the series note that soldiers are increasingly being trained to fight in Virtual Reality without any real battlefield experience. MGS2's [[Mind Screw]] finale explicitly associates the non-canon game ''Metal Gear: Ghost Babel'' with this practice, implying that it exists within the MGS world as a VR scenario.
*** This is also another explanation for ''The Twin Snakes;'' it's not a movie adaptation of ''In the Darkness of Shadow Moses,'' it's the VR training of the Shadow Moses incident Raiden mentions having gone through during his training before ''Sons of Liberty.''
* ''[[Splinter Cell]]'': An "interview" on the first game's disk and [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20051004000225/http://www.samfisherblog.com/ a promotional] [[Character Blog]] [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20051004000225/http://www.samfisherblog.com/ for] ''[http://web.archive.org/web/20051004000225/www.samfisherblog.com/ Chaos Theory]'' [[All There in the Manual|openly state]] that the game is based on the real Sam's escapades. According to him, he was originally bought into Ubisoft as a consultant before they decided to make the series about him. Which [[Fridge Logic|begs the question]] of how an agent who officially doesn't exist gets a popular series of video games made about him. The "interview" even has his character model from the game sitting in a chair in Ubi HQ, in full Splinter Cell gear.
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' plays with this trope a bit, at times feeling like a real story that would become a legend of the end of magic. The best example is when the Ronso, the resident [[Proud Warrior Race]], plan to erect a statue of Yuna, with a great big horn ([[Creator Provincialism|because the Ronso deem this facial feature to be ''the'' symbol of great power]]), thus matching [[Final Fantasy]]'s traditional depiction of summoners as having unicorn-like horns.
* ''[[Touhou]]'' fandom often postulate the idea (jokingly or not) that ZUN acquires all the necessary information to make the games and [[All There in the Manual|supplementary material]] from [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/267420/ conversations with his drinking buddy], [[Reality Warper|Yukari]]. Any contradictions are therefore Yukari being deliberately misleading or ZUN forgetting a detail.
