I like that the underworld is foreshadowed to be a hell-like place, everyone in the village seems normal at first but either has a mischievous bent or secretly wants to harm each other. The signs are there, it's just the elder waits until the very end of the game to finally execute his plan.

Oersted used to be a good knight, but was screwed over by his jealous best friend into destroying his own kingdom and becomes the demon king having his hatred become the final bosses in the other chapters. He also did nothing wrong.

I found this weirdly satisfying - it was a great way of dramatising just how dangerously unstable Vincent was.

Also have comfy memories of my little brother laughing himself hoarse, watching me trying to take out Vincent, who kept healing Materia Keeper, who kept stabbing my other sane party members.

Bonus points: What are some plot twists that alter the outcome or the player character's perception of the game events that you can miss if you beat the game without investigating further.

I always like these.

The real genius behind Oersted isn't so much his story as it is the way it was handled. Instead of the final boss giving you his sob story during some cut scene you actually get to play it out and see it through his eyes, except you don't actually know he's the main bad guy until it's all over. And then on top of all that you even get the option to continue playing as him and take down the heroes of the game if you'd rather fuck the world over instead of saving it.

I was so confused when giant metroid didn't kill me back when i first played this game, i thought i had fucked up and was all "huh?" when it let up and flew away. But when it flew in to protect me from mother brain? THEN... it hit me and i couldn't believe it.

>Followed me like a confused child.
And i was actually angry when Mother Brain killed it. Made blowing the shit out of her with the hyper beam one of the most satisfying things i've ever done in a game

FF7 has one if you go to the Shinra mansion again after a certain point on disc 2 and check somewhere. Bit more info on what really happened with Zack and Cloud. Only saw it on the Advent Children bonus features myself after having the game for a good while which led me to replay to find it. It's well hidden for what is quite an important scene, as you have no reason to go back to Nibelheim at that point.

The Silent Hill games have alternate endings based on certain events you can do in game.

If you complete specific courses of actions in several of the games, you wind up getting kidnapped by aliens who have nothing to do with the plot.
