Line 107:
** Before him, Ness from ''[[Earthbound]]'' has been in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games despite his own game never being released in Europe.
** On a side note, Nintendo ''[[From a Certain Point of View|did]]'' release "Mother 3" outside of Japan... the soundtrack of the game, on iTunes. Only to pull it off of the iTunes store after a while.
* Some of the cast of the first and second ''[[Atelier]]'' games finally appeared in America... in the Gust game ''[[Ar Tonelicotonelico]]'', in a bonus level of the dream states for the heroines. This happened nearly ''ten years'' after the debut of the first ''Atelier'' game. The characters finally made their solo debut in the Western market in manga form, but the ''Atelier'' games that ''Ar Tonelico'' referenced still aren't out in the States.
** This has gotten even more ridiculous and more Marth-like with the game ''[[Cross Edge|X Edge]]'' (pronounced "Cross Edge"), which has been released by NIS America in late May 2009. It's the full-on console debut for Marie, the first ''Atelier'' heroine, in a SSB-style crossover game... that wasn't produced by, and isn't distributed by, ''her own home company''.
*** And now, with ''[[Trinity Universe (video game)|Trinity Universe]]'', it's happening ''again'', with Violet Platane of ''Atelier <s>Viorate</s>Violet'' making her American debut in that game. Potentially rabid gamers wielding carrots have, in fact, been spotted outside the NISA offices.
Line 128:
** Lone Wolf and Gogo both first appeared in Japan and Europe in ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' (the European one was a remake), but America in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''. Unusually for this trope, both characters have larger roles in ''VI'' than ''V''.
** Cissnei's appearance in ''[[Crisis Core]]'' was the first time Western audiences met her, but she was actually featured in ''[[Before Crisis]]'' which came out three or four years prior and was never released outside Japan.
** Another example is the recurring Job Class of Dragoons, which originally came out in ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]'' with the character Ricard Highwind. It would also appear again in ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' as a Class that the player could pick for the main characters. Since neither of those games were ported outside of Japan originally, the first time westerners would see that Class would be with Kain Highwind in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' (AKA: "FFII"). References to the class as a whole are sometimes erroneously attributed to the popular Kain character in specific. The remakes of ''II'' and ''IV'' make a [[Mythology Gag]] out of it, naming Richard's son Kain in ''II'', and Kain's father Richard in ''IV''.
* Terra from ''[[Ys]]: The Ark of Napishtim'' originally debuted in ''Ys V'', [[No Export for You|which was never exported]].
* In Europe the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games [[No Export for You|weren't released until the 7th game]] (Then came the port/remake storm...), so when ''[[Secret of Evermore]]'' was released, years before ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' reached European shores, it basically meant ''Cecil Harvey debuted in Secret of Evermore'' (He's got a cameo there). Not to mention he happily mentions plot points of his game...
