ITT: Plot twists you honestly didn't see coming

...

Nobody could see the shit coming in Kingdsom Hearts. The asspulls are real.

To be fair they did hint at this a little in BBS

Yeah, i guess that's a fair point.

So why was Big Boss in kingdom hearts?

Your character was the one who ran over Teddy Long in Smackdown vs Raw. I was legitimately surprised and impressed. It all lined up and my character had managed to earn some belts and prestige during his "investigation" which was his goal all along.

They inverted "it was all just a dream" by making the world real and the MC a dream. So stupid it's brilliant.

...

BECAUSE I'M A TERRORIST

He was dead all along

rubber bullets

The term "dream" is used as wordplay and metaphor. He's part of a fake Zanarkand, but it and him are still very much physical and alive. It's a giant collection of aeons and he's one of them.

I dropped the Yakuza series. 1 and 2 were good, 3 and 4 were just garbage.

The protagonist was the traitor all along

...

...

...

THIS


ENTIRE


FUCKING

GAME

How can one even be "half-Xehanort?" I don't know how people still have patience with this series.

I mean what the fuck

Baten Kaitos.jpg

Xenoblade chronicles

you know exactly what part i'm talking about

...

Xehanort's plot is to possess 13 people at once. OP's pic is a character who's halfway possessed but still has his own mind too.

Xehanort found a way to put a little bit of himself inside other people that corrupts them over time, physically and mentally, until they become exact duplicates of him.

He's saying that the corruption process is about halfway done

I actually do not. Unless you mean the Shulk Is Literally Trash tweest.
Hope you are not talking about robowaifu part cause that was the most obvious shit ever.

Why would you need patience? The story is absurd with it's constant making up new rules but why does that require patience? It's not like it's hard to understand if you actually play all the games, the problem is people only play one or two and are then surprised when they don't get things in a story that is constantly making up new rules for it's universe.

>I shot delta before figuring out who delta was
>Seriously thought the game was pulling a Blink Winckel and that ending was non-canon and they just shot the "player"
>It gets 5 times more retarded
Seriously, what????

Oh please, that one was obvious. Even before I talked to bronze face's daughter I had figured out what was going with the mechons.
Unless you mean the part with Zanza after the fight in Mechonis. We knew something was coming with the way DICKson was acting, but that was still an asspull.

Silent hill shattered memories ending

Xehanort is a state of mind

That sounds like Nomura is ripping off Horcruxes from Harry Potter.

Mechons being people?

I didn't but it was also spoiled for me before I reached that reveal.

Holy shit that entire twist is insane.

The owner of the Empty Lot.

Only to an extent. The 13 Xehanorts are a means to his ultimate goal of having 13 hearts of darkness clash with 7 hearts of light, in doing so obtain the setting's macguffin.

...

not a video game (well there is a video game for it) but Eren Jaeger.jpg

While true, whewn you have non-numbered games on different systems from different companies and are expected to have played them to understand your story then there's something wrong with the writing.

Raziel killed himself and Raziel is the soul reaver

Xehanort possessing people has been a thing since 2002

You know

That was given away really early in the game.
>fight the first mechon boss that uses a big hammer
>go back to town and an npc talks about her father being kidnapped by mechons and how he used to use a big hammer

I figured it out when you saw the bat tattoo on Tachibana's arm
But at that point I didn't suspect Oda and thought Tachibana was the evil son of a bitch not the bro

...

literally zero foreshadowing for the ending and also it's a dogshit twist

>Finding out that helping people in Dark Souls turns them Hollow and drive them insane to the point where they want to kill you

I'm so sorry Solaire, I made sure to save you every playthrough after that.

After all the times they did it in recent movies, I'm ashamed to fail to see that being caught is part of their plan in Persona 5, that they were on the traitor all along.

That's why they released everything in HD collections on PS3 and 4 user. There's no excuse now, if you only played 1 and 2 and are confused it's your own fault for not playing the majority of the series.

It's like if someone only plays MGS1 and 4 and then gets angry at their own confusion even though they didn't play 2 and 3.

Xigbar is working with Xehanort. He is hoping to get a keyblade out of going along with his plans. For some reason he wants one. Unlike the others he willingly lets Xehanort share his heart. Since he is in on Xehanort's plans he can act in his stead. No reason to fully possess him and have another situation like Terra's where he starts resisting.

REMINDER THAT BRONZE FACE (MECHONE WITH THE HAMMER) FIGHT'S HAPPENS INSIDE BIONIS' URETHRA!

...

Whatever the fuck was going on in Silent Hill 2's ending
Played the Maria side thing too still don't what or who she is
Oh and the fact that the dude forgets that he killed his wife and threw her in the trunk moments after arriving in SH

That wasn't so much a twist as it was
>You want a keyblade?
>Of course you do! Everybody wants a goddamn keyblade now! Hell, we gave one to a talking mouse!
>That red haired bitch gets one, and that guy you thought was dead gets one!
>Hell, we've got thousands of them! Take five and give them to your friends

I actually caught that earlier cause I noticed the bullshit when Akechi noticed pancakes. I never expected it to be part of the big plot twist

his biological father is verstael and he's basically a test tube baby, fully human but bred to be used to make MTs, like children who are born solely to be later sold off to the leader of the pedophile child sex slave ring their parents are part of

Undoubtedly the fucking KING of unexpected plot twists. If anyone here hasn't played it yet, play it for yourself and do not look anything of it up.

>Case 2 in Dual Destinies
>The second Ninetails appears I immediately go "he's the alderman"
>Sitting on that piece of information just waiting for an opportunity to mention it so we can move on from that obvious """twist"""
>Sure enough, it comes up in court and I point it out
>Then it turns out he actually ISN'T Ninetails and I was supposed to fall for the obvious assumption
It's pretty much the only time in the AA series when a revelation dawned on me at the same time it dawned on the character.

But that has nothing to do with the writing at all. If anything it's just an issue with their release plans but they made the collections anyway.

King of sequential plot twists and of keeping a narrative (almost) plot hole free.

But some games have bigger twists. Just not as many.

Anything in the Zero Escape series. That was Unexpected Plot Twists: The Game Series. One plot twist every 5 goddamn minutes.

The reveal that he's in love with Noctis topped all of that IMO, especially with how horny he acted for every girl they came across. It was all an act, much like his personality.

yeah Persona 5 telegraph alot of stuff but that was the only thing i really didnt figure out beforehand.

>What you thought was the present was actually the future

Haven't looked at the image. Could you tell me the game?

Ghost Trick.

That's exactly what happens in Zero Escape 999.

And Zero Escape Virtue's Last Reward.

Not so much in Zero Escape Zero Time Dilemma though

Ghost Trick

So... he's just a male Selphie, complete with the happy go lucky behavior?
They really didn't try a whole lot, did they.

The delivery of that "twist" was so fucking hamfisted and out of the blue. What a fucking mess of a game.

Despite how unpredictable that twist was, you can‘t really deny its kinda lame.

>his entire motivation to lose weight was to impress and befriend Noctis and not "be a burden" to him
>official chemistry chart has him saying Noct is "my dearest hero who I'd do anything for"
>his thirst always felt forced as hell
>acting surprised when he's revealed to be a homo for his homodachi prince
The fact you didn't see it coming is beyond me.

...

I thought it was too obvious that Akechi was the traitor, that I assumed Morgana was the true traitor.

What a good plot twist too!

I'm sure it'll come up, so the reason the twist sucks isn't the twist in and of itself, but that the game tosses everything else it was building for absolutely nothing and the characters don't react or even care about the revelation a minute after it happens. Digital Devil Saga deals with a similar theme but it is constantly integral to the characters as well as the plot.
>You're a righteous fiend aren't you?
>Apparently I am

Unironically this.
Can't think of anything that even comes close.

By far the best scene in the entire series. Even Sora can't believe the utter nonsense that came out of his mouth and it was hilarious.

>yo I heard you like plot twist

Umineko

came here to post this

>the fucking KING of unexpected plot twists
>hasn't played ever17.wav

My nigga

Nah, he's not a psycho like she is, just a depressed, repressed homo with an inferiority complex and a fragile heart. You'd have to play the game yourself to get his and the other characters' depths beyond their archetype. One of his defining moments IMO isn't in a cutscene but when a certain other character goes blind, he's the only one who bolts across the stage to catch that character when they inevitably trip and fall while walking, and his AI is even modified so that he walks directly to the side or behind this character and in actual cutscenes can be seen with his hand on their ass.
seriously Prompto? that's where you chose to put your hand? shoulder or back.

It's the little things. If you get up close to his face during that, sometimes you'll see he has tears in his eyes.

Well after Teddy in 4 I expected Morgana to be similar to him as well.

The plot twist with Prompto is that he used to be a fat fuck, and then he got his shit together. Just that story is more inspiring than the whole of FF15.

4 was better for the sheer amount of absurd plot twists. Kiryu's chapter is entirely plot twists after plot twists.

>character called Selphie
>runs a blog, has a photo she took of herself on it
>selphie took a selfie before selfies were a thing
>prompto's into photography
At least Prompto's genki archetype went a different route than her's in the sense he's like that because he's terrified of letting people down and is scared of being the cause of his friends' sadness or lack of happiness, so he puts on a brave face unless bugs,
dungeons, or exercise that isn't running is involved in hopes he can make those he loves happy.

But, he also does it because he genuinely wants to be that person. Fake until you make it, etc. Or rather, fake it until your friends are happy and you've made it so you don't have to fake it.

isn't that only mentioned in the anime too

There was an user in the /ffg/ a month ago or so who talked about how Prompto inspired them to lose weight and apparently it's working. It's funny how his motivation was literally "gotta impress that super cute prince no homo" though.

I found a small twist in how Noctis is the messy, lazy slob while even when he was fat Prompto kept his lonesome house clean.

It's referenced in the game with an optional private scene between Noct and Prom on the top of a hotel.

>Noct and Prom on the top of a hotel.
oh baby

This twist was insane. And the foreshadowing could have meant anything at the time you find it. I doubt a single person saw this coming

You are not the bad guy in 999.

Most people forget this but in 999 you are Akane narrating Junpei's playthrough

>Not so much in Zero Escape Zero Time Dilemma though
What do you mean one of the playable character's is Delta

How did he become half Xehanort?

...

Never saw it coming.

Wait what? I dont remember in which way the story was narrated anymore. Anyway that doesnt change anything really does it? In the end you control junpei the entire game so...

I never knew what was gonna happen next in To The Moon, some of it was total bullshit in my defence

You're joking right? That's obvious from the start

You control Junpei but like half of the game's dialogue is the protagonist's inner monologue, you spend the entire game thinking it's Junpei's monologue but it's actually Akane's
