The Promise: Difference between revisions

* One of the story paths in ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' had Bang Shishigami who was at first being seen as an annoying [[Stalker with a Crush]] by [[Ms. Fanservice|Litchi Faye-Ling]], until he jumped in and saved both her and Arakune from Hakumen. Bang opts to do a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] while Litchi escapes; and asks to meet her in a bar when it's all over, and Litchi promised to do so. Unfortunately, it's a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] [[Yank the Dog's Chain|for real; Bang presumably dies and we don't know if Litchi even remembered him and]] [[The Promise]]. The Kaka clan, however, made him a posthumous hero.

* In [[Planescape: Torment]], your character can actually do this as a dialogue option. Sometimes, dialogue choices (in some specific, important and dramatic scenes) will have a declaration of intent hidden, such as "Truth", "Lie", and, most importantly, "Make Vow". Those dialogue choices affect your [[Character Alignment]]: you become more Lawful if you tell the truth, and more Chaotic if you lie.

* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'': At the end of the first game Sora makes a promise with Kairi that he'll return to her and the island with Riku someday.

** In a deliberate echo in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Roxas makes a promise that he'll meet up again with his friends in Twilight Town. {{spoiler|Sora fulfills it vicariously for him, and gets the Oathkeeper keyblade for doing so.}}
