** Earthbound has a segment where Poo meditates before heading to meet the rest of the party. This takes place in a "battle" where the enemy systematically takes Poo's limbs and senses. You emerge completely fine, with a rather nice level up, despite being reduced to 0 HP during the sequence, which normally would invoke a [[Game Over]]. |

* The original ''[[Persona]]'' had segments where your friends would get their Personas for the first time. They look like standard battles on the surface, but they're deliberately designed so that [[Foregone Victory|your party members get away]] [[Flawless Victory|without a scratch]]. Everyone also gets a free level-up in the process, regardless of how many EXP you would get from fighting the enemy party in an actual battle. |
