* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has a variation. The ''Heavensward'' Dark Knight quests (level 50-60) revolve around a young girl, Rielle, being hunted by a contingent of Ishgardian knights under the command of [[spoiler:her mother]] Countess Ystride. For the level 60 quest, she finally corners you, your job tutor Sidurgu, and Rielle, demanding a "trial by combat". The Ishgard justice system is a firm believe in RightMakesMight, and such a trial[[labelnote:*]]of which one is part of the Main Scenario, and another takes place before you first unlock Dark Knight at level 30[[/labelnote]] normally consists of the accused party facing off against an equal number of petitioners before an audience of witnesses; victory earns an acquittal, defeat means your death sentence is already served. Ystride instead summons your trio of accused to the middle of western Coerthas, well out of sight of any settlements, and sics her ''entire contingent'' on you before facing you herself. [[spoiler:When you emerge victorious, Sidurgu shows his CharacterDevelopment by offering her mercy if she ceases her crusade, but Ystride declares her intent to hunt Rielle to the ends of the earth, making it clear that her "trial by combat" is an insult to due process and Ishgardian justice both.]]
