Line 294:
* There is a very, very subtle hint that this is how the story of ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'' is unfolded. When Ramza meets Orlan Durai for the first time, the latter is shown capable of seriously overpowered magick ("Galaxy Stop!") while fighting the thieves that caught him spying in their guild; but Ramza and co must save him anyway as he's outnumbered. Such magicks are the domain of inhumanly powerful wizards, but Orlan is just a spy; in fact, later he can't use the same magick to stop Delita from (not-)executing him. Thus, a more likely explanation is that it's the narrator, Alazlam '''Durai''', who exaggerates the power of his ancestor.
* ''[[Dear Esther]]'''s narrator talks about events that aren't actually happening to the player. {{spoiler|It turns out that most of what he says is either a blatant lie or a metaphor for what really happened.}}
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Borderlands|Tales from the Borderlands]]'': the game shows events as described by Rhys and Fiona after the fact, and they sometimes go into completely ridiculous fabrications to make themselves look cool. Of course, these are immediately retracted since no one falls for them.
