* ''[[Ace Combat]]'' does a variation. The series is set on an alternate Earth, the proper name for which is Strangereal, where the continents and countries are, to say the least, [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115084126/http://images.wikia.com/acecombat/images/2/20/Ace_combat_world2.PNG different.] History is similar, but often times, events anywhere from Strangreal's 1995 to 2015 have [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|obvious parallels]] to real history; Belka is blatantly [[World War I]] and then [[World War Two]] style Germany, for example. Other nations have clearly visible similarities to the cultures and geography they are based on, e.g. : Characters from Estovakia or Yuktobania are easily mistaken for Russians / Eastern European nationalities. Many fighter planes featured in the series are real planes (licensed from their real-world manufacturers by the game developers, no less) but with twists; the SU-47 Berkut was built as a proof-of-concept machine. On Strangereal, the Berkut went to mass production and became a high-end fighter jet for several militaries before 1995.
* [[Double Subversion|Doubly-subverted]] in ''[[Custom Robo]]'': At one point, you are asked whether the world is flat or round. If you answer "round," your teammates scold you for joking - [[The Reveal|revealing]] that you've actually been on a flat world the whole time - and [[But Thou Must!|the promptor asks the question again]]. When you answer "flat," though, the promptor then [[The Reveal|reveals]] that you had been lied to your whole life and that the supposedly flat plane you'd been living on was actually a closed-off portion of a round planet the whole time.
** The fact that the main character can give the "wrong" answer to this and a similar question is actually [[Justified Trope|Justified]], despite how that makes it sound. {{spoiler|The main character's [[Disappeared Dad]] was one of the few who knew the truth and is established to have been opposed to keeping it a secret. It's implied your character learned it from him at some point.}}
