Forums - Gaming Discussion - What was the most Shocking Twist in an RPG for you? (spoilers obviously)

Try not to flat out state the twist, just refer to it so that people who haven't played the game don't have it ruined. The people that matter will get it.

For me I'm thinking the secret about Kalas revealed late in Baten Kaitos. I mean the game was pretty good up until then but holy shit, that blew my mind. Hats off to whoever came up with that one.

Mid-way in Chapter 1 of Mother 3.

GBA games aren't supposed to be allowed to do that sort of thing.



Knight of the Old Republic... oh yeah...



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

For a long time I thought I was the only person in the world who was legitimately shocked and surprised by that.

Still waiting on a New Road Rash and Legend of Dragoon 2...

KotoR floored me the first time I played it. I usually see stuff like that coming, so I was just stunned.

When Sephiroth turned out to be Aeris' love child by Red XIII.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

I'm with the OP. Baten Kaitos was mind-blowing. That was a great game, too bad it's so badly overlooked.



The nonsense that was star ocean 3 or whatever it was on the PS2.



That's easy.

Ohh forgot this.

Xenosaga III: Who summoned the Gnosis to their world.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
