** Even worse, the game starts off with a much better version of Vaan; his older brother Reks. Not only does Reks actually have a much better motivation, he has more personal connections to the other characters and could have had a greater impact on the plot. Instead he is killed and replaced by the younger brother he went to war for. |

*** Hey, on that note, Ivalice Alliance has basically nothing to do with Final Fantasy Tactics. According to the FF Wiki, it even retconned the half of the Lucavi that didn't actually appear, but were somewhat planned. |

* ''Shooter's Solitude system_4'', a [[Vertical Scrolling Shooter]] by the same developer of ''[http://www18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/Prod/index.html Warning Forever]'', has four different weapons, a color-based scoring system somewhat similar to that of ''[[Radiant Silvergun]]'', and hidden [[Fighting Game]]-style commands for quick [[Power-Up|Power Ups]], faster ship speed, and special moves. Unfortunately, the game is only one stage long, and [[Word of God]] asserts that the game is finished and he won't be making a new version, let alone more stages. |

* The backstory of ''[[Do Don Pachi]] Dai-Fukkatsu'' reveals the location of the DonPachi Corps' HQ: a ''space-time fold.'' A neat idea, unfortunately, it is hardly fleshed out in-game; you only see the space-time fold at the beginning of the game (when you [[Time Travel]] back to 2008) and at the end, when you head back to base {{spoiler|or [[Big Bad|Colonel Gottvin]] challenges you at the end of t Che second loop}}. |

* Children's Week in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', in which players care for a war orphan for a week, had the potential to show the social consequences of war in Azeroth. There is also the part where your Draenei/Blood Elf orphan is implied to have great power as a shaman/Blood Knight and make some considerable impact on the world in the future, but nothing is likely to come of it. Though others argue the characters were [[Mary Sue|MarySues]] |
