* This is how you appear to your former squadmates in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', seeing as how you're currently working for Cerberus, a terrorist group whose members were shoot-on-sight enemies in the first game. Ashley and Kaidan outright refuse to go with you because of it, and Tali rejoins with serious reservations about the Normandy's Cerberus-comprised crew (they attacked her people, so [[It's Personal]]). |

* Lloyd Irving in ''[[Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World]]'' is seen as a murderer at first, in stark contrast to his ideals in the [[Tales of Symphonia|first game]]. Emil hates him for killing his parents in a brutal massacre of Palmacosta. {{spoiler|Of course, he's not really a villain. The Lloyd who committed those crimes was Decus wearing a disguise.}} |

* Isaac in ''[[Golden Sun]]: The Lost Age'' is an unseen antagonist to the game's main character, Felix. Felix intentionally avoids contact with Isaac, because he knows they're working against one another, and wishes to avoid a fight -- until Felix's supposed allies Karst and Agatio try to kill Isaac, at which point the groups are forced into an [[Enemy Mine|uneasy alliance]]. (And eventually team up for real once Felix convinces Isaac he's right.) |

** Felix was an opponent to Isaac's group in the first game, and [[The Stinger]] for the first game made it fairly clear you'd be playing as Felix in TLA. Neither Isaac's goal nor Felix's has changed, so they're still at odds. Effectively, it's ''the player'' who's gone rogue. |

* Misleading trailers were released to make it seem like this would be Yuri in ''[[Shadow Hearts]] Covenant''. The trailer made it seem like two new characters would be the leads and Yuri only appeared at the end after turning into a monster. When the game came out though, Yuri was the main character and almost all the scenes in the trailer never occurred. |
