Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
* In Koei's ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'', Toyotomi Hideyoshi's American voice actor portrayed him with a screeching, annoying voice. In ''Samurai Warriors 2'', with Hideyoshi's role in the story expanded, he was assigned a ''much'' better actor who was able to convey a great deal of depth and humor, making him much more tolerable. And then ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'' hit, they went back to his old voice actor.
* Akoya Sougi voiced Mai Shiranui in ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters]]''. In the ''KOF: Sky Stage'' [[Bullet Hell|game]], she's replaced by [[Ami Koshimizu]], who takes over as Mai in the main series starting in ''KOF XIII''.
** Athena Asamiya is the uber-example of Darrining. She's had ''five'' seiyuus: Reiko Fukai (''KOF '94'') to Moe Nagasaki (''{{'}}95'') to Tamao Satou (''{{'}}96'') to Yukina Kurisu (''{{'}}97'') to [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (''{{'}}98''). They've seemed to have stuck with Ikezawa since though.
** Robert Garcia is an interesting example. His first VA (Eiji Yano in ''[[Art of Fighting]]'') was replaced by Kazuhiro Inage for [[AOF 2]], King of Fighters '94 and '95. After that, Mantaro Koichi replaced him for ''Art of Fighting 3'' and ''King of Fighters '96'', and provided Robert's voice for every game up to ''KOF 2003''. Then in ''Neo Geo Battle Coliseum'', Inage returned to voice Robert and has done so ever since.
** Geese Howard's first voice was Katsuhisa Namase in ''Fatal Fury Special''. Kong Kuwata took the reins for ''Fatal Fury 3'', and is now [[My Real Daddy|the voice most closely associated with Geese]].
** Overall, however, [[SNK]](P) is a large [[Averted Trope|aversion]] of this trope, with most voice cast changes ''only'' happening when the company has lost contact with a seiyuu, the seiyuu retires, or (unfortunately) the seiyuu [[Author Existence Failure|passes away]]. This means that a vast majority of their characters have been voiced by the same person on at least a semi-regular basis for a good period of time, some even approaching 10 or 20 years of
* ''[[Mega Man Legends]] 2'' changed Mega Man Volnutt's voice from relatively normal something to feminine.
* Rather irritatingly done within ''the same game'' in ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' for the DLC ''The Taxidermist'', where the character of Madison Paige (the only returning character) quite blatantly has a completely different voice. Obviously the DLC was done after the actual product was complete, so having a different VA was fairly likely (DLC is really not big enough to warrant a return).
