Wham! Episode/Video Games: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

* At the very end of the normal ending of ''[[Aquaria (video game)|Aquaria]],'' the protagonist, Naija, says a short sentence about how you need to search the game more closely. The sentence ends with two little words that turn the world upside down.

{{quote|"You've reached an end, but it is not all I have to share. You've become lost along the way, concerned only with the immediate facts. Return to the waters, and follow the trails hidden in my memories...the story of my childhood. Find me...before the world is lost...my son..."}}

* ''Arc the Lad 2'''s first scene shows the slaughter of Elc's (the game's hero) people. Then the game's makers apparently decided to beat the record of Wham Moments done in a single video game, by repeatedly [[Player Punch|punching the player]].

* The ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series have plenty of whams:

** ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', Exdeath squashes two worlds together and combines this with the death of Galuf and a rare lack of [[Forgot About His Powers]].

**''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'': {{spoiler|Kefka destroys the world}}, and the game continues after this.

Line 11:

** ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'': the Sorceress Edea, who was the main villain for about the first two fifths of the game, turns out to be the lady who raised ''everyone in the party'' at an orphanage.

** ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'': Half of of the game consists of this. {{spoiler|One city's population slaughtered in a surprise assault, another one nuked, summoned [[Eldritch Abomination]] crushes one more city...}} and the situation goes even more downhill from there. Every time you think "This can't be going on any more!" you get the next wham. And ''then'' we discover the sinister origins of Zidane.

** There's also the scene in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' in Zanarkand, where {{spoiler|Yunalesca tells the party that Sin is eternal, and that every Final Aeon that defeats Sin will become Sin in it's place.}}

Line 117:

** "Where is Jade?" reveals Lucas didn't survive from the roller coaster fall. His body has been found and resuscitated; in order words, he ''is'' dead. The one who resuscitated him isn't Agatha, but it's an AI impersonating her after her death in her apartment.

* ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]'' slowly becomes this, as it's revealed through Daniel's later diary entries and flashbacks that [[What the Hell, Hero?|he helped Alexander kidnap, torture, and murder innocent civilians]] in order to ward off [[Eldritch Abomination|the Shadow]] and in effect save his own life. And then flipped on its head when it's also revealed that Alexander was only using Daniel to obtain both the orb he found in Algeria and mass amounts of vitae to open a portal back to his home world, and that he was planning on leaving Daniel to die once he had what he needed.
