This Is My Story: Difference between revisions

 

If the the story that I am about to tell is not truly mine, and I am telling the story of another person who is the main character of the story, I would be a [[First-Person Peripheral Narrator]].

== Film ==

* ''[[American Beauty]]'': "My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood. This is my street. This is my life. I'm 42 years old, and in less than a year, I'll be dead."

* ''[[Oblivion]]'': "I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's emperor, but for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the third era, and the final hours of my life."

* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]] and starts with Tidus saying a variation of the trope name (the naming comes later in the game). The sequel, ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'', has the new protagonist, Yuna, say the same thing as a [[Shout-Out]], rather early in the game.

** Yuna uses the line in the climax of ''Dissidia Duodecim''.

'''Yuna''': This is my story. It has a happy ending! }}

* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'': "The [[Arc Number|thirteen]] days after [[Don't Wake the Sleeper|we awoke]] were the [[Just Before the End|beginning of the end]]." {{spoiler|The narrator is Vanille, referring to herself and her lover Fang, who were put into crystal stasis after failing to destroy Cocoon.}}
