Well by this I mean, what is the biggest plot twist you have seen as in an unexpected devolpment in a game.
For me it had to be that (SPOILERS)
Luigi is the final boss in Super Paper Mario and Dimentio is the main villan instead of Count Bleck. Also Dimentio has been “helping” you the entire game.
Your turn and please put things in spoilers and say what game it is from to avoid any potential spoilers for games people might not have played yet.
In my opinion, the biggest plot twist had to be either…
When Dusknoir turns out to be a villain in PMD2 and drags you to the future
or…
In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, at the end of Episode 5, when Dusknoir decides to change his ways and helps Grovyle, and Celebi save the future.
Jeez. PMD is FULL of plot twists.
Mine would probably have to be…
Not really a plot twist but still… After playing Crash Bandicoot 3, then playing Crash Bash and seeing “ZOMG Dingodile and Tiny are on the good side!? BLASTPHEMY”
Mine was the REAL ending to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 when…
You find out that Darkrai was the bad guy the whole time and that HE had caused your amnesia!
…HOW COULD I FORGET THAT
You say real whereas I much prefer to hold defeating Primal Dialga as the true ending.
Defeating Darkrai meant nothing to me except “Yaay I can evolve now!”
Whereas, when you defeated Primal dialga, not only where you at the top of a crumbling tower but you have the epic theme song of Primal dialga in the background. Not only that, but, you had saved all of ime itself, saving everyone you held near and dear, despite the fact that you knew yourself that you would have to disappear.
Now that might just be me rambling but that was what I understood you to be implying.
Regardless, it was interesting to hear what you guys had to say. Hope to hear more!
I love your heart felt analysis there elementking, ;)
The biggest twist in any game I’ve ever played was when in Pokemon Rumble
cobalion decides that because he failed he will just befriend you instead of going MAD WITH RAGE!
Lets not foget the REAL ending to cave story either
Or when you find out in Pokemon R/B/Y that…
Giovanni is the final gym leader!
Plus why didn’t you like the real ending to PMD2 EK? I loved how dark and gritty the storyline got, especially when you are about to face you-know-who
Eh? I wasn’t aware you fought Voldemort at the end of PMD2…
But the point is I don’t like the “Real” ending as you so put it, because it just seemed to be feeding off the previous story, because lets be honest it all links back to the collapse of Temporal Tower. Sure Darkrai caused it but when you fought him he was flanked by pathetic pokemon that could easily be taken out with your eyes closed. Now comes to my other main problem with it. Cressilia has to be the absolute worst escort, because she isn’t an escort she is supposed to be the one making it all easy for you! Ridiculous! You are saving her behind at every battle! It shouldn’t be like that. Personally I blame the terrible AI, but we never had that problem against Primal Dialga, as it was just you and your partner in a fight to the finish.

I’d say my biggest (and most enjoyed) plot twist was from Final fantasy six (Three in the original SNES US release). Where you’d…
Fight against Kefka, thinking to yourself how that evil could never truly triumph and that he could never set the world into chaos, but he actually did cause it to happen, splitting up your team and, if you hadn"t waited, killed one of your team mates (Oh Ninja, I lurved you soooo ;.; )
Let’s see… There aren’t many plot twists that I’m aware of. I mean, I expect the unexpected. Biggest… Hm… Well, I don’t know really. I’ll go with Dusknoir’s story in PMD2, though I thought of him as evil in the first place.
Oh what about when you faced Red on top of Mt. Silver, I was not expecting it!
The biggest plot twist was when
Galuf dies in FF5. I thought he would"ve carried the party out; but nope he fights Exdeath(dude Galuf lived with 0 HP) and then Krile joins your team
^ Spoilers for FF5
Hmm… When Tohru Adachi is revealed as the one of the main antagonists in Persona 4.
Then when Shuji Itkutsuki is also revealed to be evil and kills Mitsuru Kirijo’s father in Persona 3. I was one of the only people who actually found his jokes funny. :l
Very interesting respones from everyone!
I have to say though, that I have no idea what is going on with what Seviper said.
Never heard of the game! :L
I have two plot twists, one being moderate, and the other being absolutely CRAZY.
[spoilerPlot Twist 1: Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow:dy0gsfwz]After you beat a certain boss in the game, Soma feels different, and then it is revealed, that after all of this time, Soma was ACTUALLY DRACULA! I haven"t really made it to this part of the game, though. :<
[/details]
The next one is a strange case. I don’t really think it’s a plot twist, and it’s CRAZY HARD to describe. But I’ll explain it anyways.
[spoilerPlot Twist 2: Castle Crashers:dy0gsfwz]After you beat a boss, whether it"s just any boss or a specific one, I don"t know, and after you defeated your friends, once you approach the orange princess…
…well, basically she turns out to have a pure white face, green hair, an unaturally big grin, and she dances, all the while circles swirl around her, with penguins and other animals just walking around the swirls.
…yeah. That"s messed up.
[/details]
…HOW COULD I FORGET THAT[/quote]
EXACTLY!
My fave plot twists were the same as Reds, but I have a few other ones…
When Wigglytuff makes friends with Groudon in PMD at Fogbound Lake O.O Never expected that!
In the Gin Tama game, where Umibouzu and Hosen fought for three days. The fight ended because Umibouzu said ¨I need to take a dump. Seeya.¨
Mine would be in a mario and luigi game
When you find out the cursed peach was Birdo and the normal Peach was ok till you fight—dont wanna spoil the final boss~
My biggest suprise is from pmd3 Gates to Infinty (SPOILER)
when munna calls for help and turns you into a pokemon the when you rescue her she and many pokemon attack and try to kill you to prevent the world from being destroyed. she mentions that hydreigon is ruining the world but is actually the one who brought you to the world and saves you. hydreigon is the voices of life in reality. munna works for kyurem to help protect the bittercold from being destroyed so the world is destroyed. the turn of munna was most suprising to me to sum things up because she appears in your dreams in many occations to tell you to save her and the world
I feel sorry for you, then. Persona 3 is one of my favorite games ever, and from what I’ve heard, Persona 4 improves on it pretty well.
I can’t list just one here, so I’ll name a few.
[spoilerThe World Ends with You:y06t41qt]The reveal that everyone playing the Reaper"s Game is dead. It"s not the most shocking twist in the game, but it"s the most memorable, since it"s the first.
[/details]
[spoilerBioshock Infinite:y06t41qt]The fact that Booker is Elizabeth"s father, but sold her to Comstock to settle gambling debts. Even though I was a bit put off by how confusing the ending of the game was, that bit of it will stick with me for a long time.
[/details]
[spoilerBatman: Arkham City:y06t41qt]When you find out that the healthy Joker you"ve been seeing for most of the game is actually Clayface, and the real Joker is still deathly ill. When I beat this game, it was probably the worst I"ve ever felt at the death of a villain. This bit kicks off the events that lead up to the Joker"s death scene, which just gives it even more of an impact.
