* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', it is a major plot point that Basch and [[spoiler:Gabranth]] are identical twins, allowing the latter to impersonate the former. By the game's ending, [[spoiler: Basch assumes his deceased brother's identity in the interest of preserving stability of the Archadian Empire.]] Their in-game models are [[GameplayAndStorySegregation not ''quite'' exactly identical]], but they're still close enough that one could easily believably pass for the other.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Kasslynian twins are always identical due to the nature of the way their development as a species was manipulated. This has led to the major religion of the setting feeling TwinsAreSpecial and [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing]] the younger twin to their gods. It is another way in which Sette is an "abnormal" as her father says she was born a twin, alongside a stillborn male creature, one of several things considered impossible in universe about her.

* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed in detail]] in the ''Literature/FamilyTreeSeries'' with Dana and Julia, Abby's oldest children who are identical twins. Dana is frustrated by Julia "copying" her even as young as seven; at their seventh birthday, Dana asks for her own separate room, and she even makes sure to change her dress for their party so they don't match. Dana tries to find friends and hobbies that are separate from Julia and doesn't start feeling independent until she moves away, which Julia takes badly. Dana, however, spends most of their childhood always trying to avoid being seen as just part of a twin set and never wanting to be "samesies." It takes Julia's [[spoiler:meningitis infection]] when they're in college for Dana to finally be less distant and connect with her sister.
