Secret Character: Difference between revisions

See also [[Optional Party Member]], [[Guest Fighter]].

* ''[[Wild Arms]]'': In the second game, you recruit Marivel in a completely optional dungeon. Alter Code, the remake of the first game lets you recruit Zed after a [[Bonus Boss]] fight and after you give him an item acquired in the last dungeon.

* ''[[Suikoden]] II'' lets you recruit the overpowered main character of the first game as a non-Star. It required a last dungeon save file from the first Suikoden and a Side Quest.

* ''[[Planescape Torment]]'': You can get a [[Optional Party Member|special character]], the Rogue Modron Nordom, only by exploring a bizarre pocket dimension where the inhabitants are trying to understand the concepts of dungeon-delving. The result is a randomly generated maze, creating by opening and shutting various doors between the myriad chambers, and Nordom can only be found in a specific chamber. To even get to the pocket plane, you buy a specific item (the "Metallic Cube" - a poseable Modron figurine) from Vrichika's Curiosity Shoppe. Then, after talking to the Modrons in the Brothel of Slaking Intellectual Lusts to discover that it ''is'' a portal, you have to figure out on your own the specific pattern you need to alter the figure's limbs into to activate it (extend left wing, extend right wing, rotate right arm). Once there, you first have to fight your way through a randomly generated maze (fortunately set on "Easy" difficulty) to find the control room. Then, from there, you have to set the maze to "Hard" and then try and find the room where Nordom is waiting. Did we mention that, on this difficulty, the maze is filled with powerful enemy constructs, which can make this a [[Bonus Level of Hell]] if the party doesn't time [[Level Grinding]] on either the Easy or Medium settings? And that, as this maze is randomly generated, you may need to reset it over and over before Nordom's chamber becomes accessible?

** However, all ''Torment'' PC's are unique and don't even stand out very much from the crowd given that unique characters are all over the place. As with many other such characters, Nordom is hinted at but not explicitly identified. Morte and Annah are the only characters you will definitely encounter. Second, Nordom is also always found in his dungeon on Hard if you look around. Third, let's not forget Vhailor, who is even more secretive: you have to walk ''past'' a certain portal into a room you couldn't get into before, and which doesn't obviously show up.

* ''[[Star Fox (Video Game)|Star Fox]] Assault'' 's Multiplayer mode lets you play as the core Star Fox team, but Wolf O' Donnell can be unlocked. He has the same total stats as Fox, but with three maxed out skills (a maxed out speed in particular that lets him run around all the other characters), he is considered by some to be a [[Game Breaker]].

* ''[[Raiden Fighters]] Jet'' has the Slave and Fairy planes, unlockable by holding the bomb button when pressing Start at the title screen. The Slave will replace whichever plane you select, inheriting its movement speed and bomb; the Miclus is replaced by the Fairy instead.

* In the iOS port of [[Don Pachi|Daifukkatsu]] you can unlock {{spoiler|Hibachi}} as a playable ship. And it is just as powerfull as it's boss counterpart.

* This is a fixture of the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' series. Each game contains at least two of them :

** ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'' : [[Shrinking Violet|Miharu Tatebayashi]] and {{spoiler|[[Bifauxnen|Rei Ijuin]]}} ;

** ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'' : [[Twin Switch|Rui Nanakawa]], [[Shrinking Violet|Haruna Mizuki]], and {{spoiler|[[Yandere|Miyako Okura]]}}

** ''Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side'' : Aoki Chiharu, Tendou Jin (for the DS Version ''1st Love'')
