Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''
** The very last line of [[The Stinger]] after the credits of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', during which {{spoiler|Ocelot}} is calling his superior. "Yes. [...] Yes. [...] Thank you, {{spoiler|'''Mister President'''}}."
Line 21 ⟶ 23:
** Joshua's got to have the best, though. {{spoiler|"It was me, Neku. I'm Shibuya's Composer."}} And let's not forget Kitaniji's {{spoiler|"Your points have been tallied, and the Player to be reborn decided. Congratulations...Shiki Misaki."}} and, slightly later on, {{spoiler|"This time, you’re playing for...Shiki Misaki."}}.
** The Another Day Secret Report, obtained by reading all of the previous ones, and defeating the [[Bonus Boss]]. By reading the others, you'd discovered the existence of a [[Fallen Angel]] who had aided Minamimoto, and learned that the writer of the Reports was {{spoiler|Hanekoma}}, who is an Angel who is looking to find and stop the Fallen Angel. However, when you read the Another Day report, he says that there's a reason he doesn't want to meet up with the alternate version of himself: {{spoiler|"You see, I am the Fallen Angel who taught Minamimoto how to refine Taboo Noise. Minamimoto owes his successful rebirth to the corrections I made to his flawed Taboo refinery sigil. I must hide in Pork City for fear that my alternate self in this world may report me on sight."}}
* ''[[BioShock (series)|BioShock]]'', {{spoiler|"Stop, [[Arc Words|would you kindly?]] 'Would you kindly'...powerful phrase...Familiar phrase?"}}
** Swiftly followed by:
{{quote|{{spoiler|It's time to end this little masquerade. There ain't no Atlas, kid. Never was. Fella in my line of work takes on a variety of aliases. Hell, once I was even a Chinaman for six months. But, you've been a sport, so I guess I owe you a little honesty. The name's Frank Fontaine.}}}}
** From ''[[BioShock (series)|BioShock]] 2'':
{{quote|'''Sofia Lamb:''' ...But there is one detail of your mutual bond she failed to account for. {{spoiler|Your body was designed to lapse into a coma when her heart ceases to beat.}} Eleanor..{{spoiler|forgive me.}}}}
** This from the "Minerva's Den" DLC.
Line 52 ⟶ 54:

* ''[[Silent Hill: Shattered Memories]]'': {{spoiler|"I know you're not Harry Mason!"}}

** And subsequently: "The term is 'complicated grief.' but it's simple, isn't it?"
** VincentsVincent's line from ''[[Silent Hill 3]]'' had [[Fridge Horror|scarier implications]] than the rest of the game combined;combined_
{{quote|{{spoiler|"Monsters? They looked like monsters to you?"}}}}
** Granted, he later dismiss it as [[Parody Retcon|a joke]] after seeing Cheryl's reaction, but given the nature of the game and the town is not an easily dismissible observation.
* ''[[Splinter Cell]]: Conviction'' gives us {{spoiler|Grim telling Sam that his daughter is alive. His reaction nicely mirrors our own.}}
* ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'':
Line 83 ⟶ 87:
** Additionally:
{{quote|'''Makarov''': "That was no message... *bang* This was the message."}}
** Then...
**
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''General Shepherd'''}}: "Good. That's one less loose end."}}
** ''[[Modern Warfare]] 3'' has one during "Blood Brothers."
Line 90 ⟶ 94:
** Later on in the game there's this line too:
{{quote|'''Eli Vance''': "Unforseen consequences...the last time I heard those words was back at Black Mesa...you had just stepped into the test chamber when he whispered them in my ear. {{spoiler|You know who I'm talking about...''our mutual friend''.}}"}}
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'': "{{spoiler(Franchise)|AThe puppetLegend thatof canZelda]] nohas longerat beleast usedone isfor mere garbage. This puppet's role has just ended..game.}}"
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: LinkMajora's AwakeningMask|Majora's Mask]]:'': "{{spoiler|IfA thepuppet Windthat Fishcan wakesno up,longer everythingbe onused thisis islandmere willgarbage. beThis gonepuppet's forever!role Andhas Ijust do meanended...[[Dream Apocalypse|EVERYTHING]]!"}}"
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The WindLink's WakerAwakening|The Legend of ZeldaLink's the Wind WakerAwakening]]:'' "But{{spoiler|If the heroWind Fish wakes up, everything on this island will be gone forever! And I neverdo camemean...''[[Dream Apocalypse|EVERYTHING]]!"}}
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]:'' "But the hero never came...''

** And from ''[[Breath of Fire III]]'': "I am a Guardian. The number beneath my name represents {{spoiler|how many dragons I have killed}}.

* ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'': {{spoiler|"OMEGA SUPREME: ONLINE."}}
* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'': {{color|red|This game will not be granted a happy ending.}} Consider that the red truth is the [[Language of Truth]].
** In ''Alliance of the Golden Witch'' this is even used with what the character ''can´t'' say when Battler tries to say that he is the son of Asumu (his mother) and can't, effectively proving that Asumu ISN'T his biological mother, causing alota lot of dropped jaws.
<!-- The trip to Terra in Final Fantasy IX is more of a Wham! Episode. You know something big's going to happen once you go to meet Garland. -->
* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'': {{spoiler|[[The Chosen One|L'cie?]] Me? [[Evil Laugh|Ha ha ha ha]]... oh, child, perish the thought. I am [[One-Winged Angel|MORE THAN THAT!]] [[Physical God|I am fal'Cie.]]}} My name is Barthandelus. [[The Man Behind the Man|Voice of the Sanctum, and Lord-Sovereign of the Cocoon fal'Cie.]] Your kind feared the darkness, so we gave you light. You begged us for [[Inferred Holocaust|the Purge]], and did it not come to pass? Now you spurn our counsel? [[Oh Crap|You must learn your place!]]
** Earlier we get two in one: {{spoiler|"I'm from Gran Pulse. The world below you all hate so much. My partner and I had turned to crystal there and gone to sleep. The reason Cocoon's in such an uproar is the same reason you're here now. [[The Reveal|Vanille and I woke up.]]"}}
Line 200 ⟶ 204:
{{quote|'''Sephiroth{{spoiler|(Actually Jenova)}}:''' ''"...because you are a puppet."''}}

Line 230 ⟶ 234:
* ''[[Sin and Punishment 2]]'': <ref> Only applies if you've played the first [[Sin and Punishment]]</ref>
{{quote|'''Kachi:''' Long ago, I wasn't called Kachi. I was known as...{{spoiler|Achi}}.}}
* ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'' has several. Due to the nature of the narration, some hit [[Player Punch|the reader]] more than the characters, and vice-versa.
{{quote|'''Archer:''' {{spoiler|Trace, On.}}}}
* ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In FamousInFamous]]'':
{{quote|'''Cole''': What do you want me to tell Moya?
{{spoiler|'''John'''}}: {{spoiler|Who's Moya?}} }}
Line 250 ⟶ 254:
'''Tarturus:''' When they learn? Fool, they ordered me to do it. }}
* In ''[[Dissidia]] Duodecim Final Fantasy'', you unlock the Confession of The Creator scenario (Scenario 000) after completing Treachery of the Gods (Scenario 012) and Light to All (Scenario 013). Those latter two are numbered after the "cycle" of war in which it takes place. As per the story of the original game, the heroes break the cycle and go home after the 13th cycle. In Confessions of the Creator, which doesn't seem to take place anywhere in the ordinary story, the Mured Moogle ({{spoiler|Cid of the Lufaine}}) tells you his story as you make your final approach to Chaos. In it, he casually mentions that in the 13th cycle, {{spoiler|everyone on Cosmos's side, including the goddess herself, died and were purified}}. You may write this off as perhaps a misnumbering. Maybe there was a 0th cycle or something. And then he talks about an ''18th'' cycle.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' looks like it sets one up when Cecil and company travel to the moon and meet FuSoYa, when he reveals that his brother, KluYa, was Cecil's father. But that's just to set up the real Wham Line - Golbez: "My father? His name was...[[Luke, I Am Your Father|KluYa]]".
{{quote|Golbez: "My father? His name was...[[Luke, I Am Your Father|KluYa]]".}}
* ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors]]'': {{spoiler|Unfortunately, you're wrong. Actually, I'm Santa.}} This was in one of the previews, no less, but it does not mean what you may think it means.
** From the Safe Ending: {{spoiler|"No. You misunderstand. You haven't lost. ''I''... have lost."}}
Line 280 ⟶ 285:
* In ''[[The Reconstruction]]'', everything looks like it'll be fine and the world will be saved, but this banks on the fact that the third Watcher hasn't messed anything up. But that's okay, you're still on schedule and know where he is...or do you?
{{quote|"Third Watcher? You mean Donz? I thought he went down with you guys, Ma!"}}
* ''[[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)|Fahrenheit]]'': "A Mayan sacrifice. That's what it was."
** Also in the chapter, "Where is Jade?".
{{quote|"The truth is, you are dead, Lucas."}}
Line 287 ⟶ 292:
* ''[[Do Don Pachi]]'': Complete the game normally, and the Commander commends your efforts and tells you it's time to take a well-deserved rest. Fulfill the conditions for the 2nd loop, however, and...
{{quote|"That was a good fight. You should be commended...{{spoiler|Psych! You're dead meat!! Enemies you've been fighting against, supposedly 'Mechanized Aliens', were actually. our (sic) guys, the missing battlefleet you learned about in the academy. [[Unwitting Pawn|You were killing our guys without knowing it!]] [[Manipulative Bastard|But I planned that all along!]] And your death...would be a nice finishing touch to my whole scheme. My special forces are the best of the best and they will be welcoming you with fierce fier (sic) power. [[See You in Hell]]!}}"}}
** In ''DoDonPachi'' DaiFukkatsu'', {{spoiler|Colonel Longhena}} has ''two'' versions of the "welcome to 2nd loop" speech, depending on which version of the 2nd loop you unlock. Either way, he declares his intent to {{spoiler|"build a new order"...}}
* ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'':
{{quote|'''Alex''': Who are you? Who sent you?
Line 313 ⟶ 318:
{{quote|"Niko Bellic? {{spoiler|A gift from Dimitri Rascalov.}}"}}
* Both [[Space Channel 5]] games have this at one point.
** ''[[Space Channel 5]]''
{{quote|"There's something wrong with the TV!"}}
** ''[[Space Channel 5]] Part 2''
{{quote|[[Beware the Silly Ones|"Heheh... Yeah right."]]}}
* ''[[Fate Extra]]'':
{{quote|{{spoiler|Shinji Matou}}: "I'm only eight years old!"}}
* ''[[Silent Hill: Shattered Memories]]'' has three of those:
** First: {{spoiler|"I know you're not Harry Mason!"}}
** Second: {{spoiler|"But Harry Mason was killed in a car crash 18 years ago!"}}
** Third: {{spoiler|"The term is 'complicated grief'. But it's simple, isn't it?"}}
* ''[[The Darkness (video game)|The Darkness]]'' has one from the titular entity itself:
{{quote|''Learn that you are my puppet. {{spoiler|[[Forced to Watch|Now watch this!]]}}}}
Line 370 ⟶ 371:
** ''Soul Reaver 2'': My god...the Hylden...we walked right into their trap. Raziel! Janos must stay dead!
** ''Defiance'': The Soul Reaver, pure of all corruption... this is what it is for. This is what I am for. The two become one... both Soul Reavers... together... and the Scion of Balance is healed... And I am not your enemy... not your destroyer... I am, as before, your right hand... your sword.
* ''[[Nie RNieR]]''
{{quote|'''Emil''': {{spoiler|"So then humans...I mean, the true humans...they're extinct?"}}
'''Weiss''': {{spoiler|"No. They still live on. You know them as Shades."}} }}
* ''[[Ghost Trick]]:'' At the end of Chapter 14, after a number of revelations, Sissel sums up the result of it all:
{{quote|'''Sissel''': Who. Am. I? I'm even further from the truth than when I started.}}
* ''[[Undertale]]'' is filled with an staggering amount of these. hereHere are some of the most significant:
** ''Everything'' Flowey says after the battle with Toriel, but the scariest version is the one he says if you actually kill her, reload, and then spares her.
{{Quote|'''Flowey:''' But don't act so cocky. I know what you did. [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory|You murdered her.]] [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|You murdered her. And then you went back, because you regretted it.]] Ha ha ha ha... You naive idiot. Do you think you are the only one with that power? The power to reshape the world... Purely by your own determination. The ability to play God! The ability to "SAVE."}}
** For that matter, what Toriel says if you confront her after resetting a game just after you murdered her
{{quote|'''Toriel:'''...wait ...why are you looking at me like that? Like you have seen a ghost. Do you know something that I do not?}}
**One character reveals that they know about Flowey.
{{quote|"have you ever heard of a {{color|yellowgold|talking flower}}?"}}
** If you played Undertale as a typical RPG but hadn't go full genocidal, you will receive an very special lesson that will change everything you knew about the game on its head
{{quote|'''{{Spoiler|Sans:}}''' What's EXP? It's an acronym. It stands for "{{color|red|execution points}}". A way of quantifying the pain you have inflicted on others. When you kill someone, your EXP increases. When you have enough EXP, your LOVE increases. LOVE, too, is an acronym. It stands for "{{color|red|Level of Violence}}". A way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt.}}
**So you are having a nice dinner with Sans, and he tells you about a promise he made to some woman. Everything is so funny and lighthearted, and then he drops this gem:
{{quote|Do you get what I'm saying? That promise I made to her... you know what would've happened if she hadn't said anything? Buddy... {{Smallcaps|you'd be dead where you stand}}.}}
** So you believed that asking nicely to (or merely beating) Asgore will net you out of the Underworld? Alphys [[Dropping the Bombshell|has to spell the truth of the situation for you]]:
{{quote|'''Alphys:''' I... I can't take this anymore. I... lied to you. A human Soul isn't strong enough to cross the barrier alone. It takes at least a human Soul... and a monster Soul. If you want to go home... you'll have to take his Soul. You'll have to kill Asgore.}}
**In the True Pacifist route, you are examining some tapes with a lot of clues ofabout the past of Toriel, Asgore, {{Spoiler|and their son Asriel.}} The whole tape set is Whamtastic, but this particular line stands abvoveabove the otherothers because it's the very first clue that the name you introduced in the opening screen is more that it appeared.
{{quote|'''{{Spoiler|Asriel}}:''' Okay <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Insert Player Name Here|name you introduced in the opening screen]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, are you ready?}}
** All of Alphys records in the True Lab. ''All of them''.
**The line that stopped a myriad of attempted Genocide runs, as it demolish the "killing in self-defense" excuse many players have when attempting such a run.
{{quote|Papyrus is sparing you.}}
**The first sign you are in a No Mercy route is this delightful gem that appears while examining Toriel's kitchen drawers. Note that red text is '''not''' among the colors used for emphasis in the player character narrating box in the other onesruns.
