Line 22:
* ''[[Magical Vacation|Magical Starsign]]'' has a pretty odd one; at the Starfall Festival event, a breather not-quite-cutscene, you can wander around and talk to the individual members of your party. The event only ends when you talk to Mokka the robot (if the player character is a girl) or Lassi the [[Petting Zoo People|rabbit girl]] (if the player character is a boy}. They're just about to admit to being in love with you, but your clueless [[Heroic Mime]] will be hijacked by another character and poor Lassi/Mokka will confess their feelings into thin air. Before and after that, nothing. No further acknowledgement, nothing in the epilogue. Cue a massive "Huh? Why was that even put in there?" on the player's part. It could just be part of ''Magical Starsign's'' odd humour, but the nature of the scene hints that this development has a significance the game never gives it.
** This issue pops up with Pico and Sorbet's blooming romance as well. It's pretty obvious that Pico is in love with Sorbet, and in one cutscene, they have a touching moment together, but {{spoiler|Pico drops out of the academy, and Sorbet becomes part of The Space Police}} and that little subplot remains unresolved.
* Leafos' family history in ''~Viva Piñata~'' looks like a plotline, but it never actually goes anywhere. You should, for example, be able to work out that Stardos is {{spoiler|now Dastardos}}, and Leafos alludes to this...but you can't really ''do'' anything about it, or even receive further clarification beyond unlocking the diary entries as you level up. There's no way to bring the dysfunctional family back together ([[Stop Helping Me!|maybe you wouldn't want to...]]) no matter how good your garden in...and despite the long, involved history in the diary that seems to indicate that their problems are intrinsic to the game.
* In ''[[Naruto Clash of Ninja (Video Game)|Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2]]'''s storyline, {{spoiler|Bando}} disappears after Jiraiya defeats him. We never even find out if {{spoiler|he's a robot or not}}.
* Corporal Adrian Shephard is the protagonist of ''[[Half-Life]]: Opposing Force''. At the end of the game he gets [[Put On a Bus]] by the GMan, who was impressed at his survival skills. Cue ''Half-Life 2'', and Shephard is the only character who has yet to make an appearance. Valve has recently gone on-record saying they've noticed how much of a fan-favorite he is on account of how vocal the fanbase gets about this particular mouse, so we might see him again.
