* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', most characters get variations on the same line, but there's quite a bit of this as well. Most notably, after [[spoiler:Crono's death is reversed]], [[LoveInterest Marle]] or [[LikeBrotherAndSister Lucca]] will hug Crono and relay how much they missed him; if you have both Marle and Lucca, Marle is given top priority and you miss out on Lucca's scene; and if neither character is in the active party, Frog or Robo will simply welcome him back. The next most notable incident is during the FinalBoss battle, where each character you bring gets their own WorldOfCardboardSpeech ([[HeroicMime except Crono]]).
* ''VideoGame/DarkCloud'' has an example. When doing the georama in Queens, You will meet a Gangster named "King" complete his house and he'll "Reward" you with a lamp that contains a very spirited genie named Ruby. She will be added to your party. If you go to Jack's house without having Ruby in your party, you won't get anything from Jack for completing his house. If she is with you he'll explain that he does not give out items but his expression will change to a fearful one when Ruby approaches. He will be very generous given that Ruby is King's Wife.
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
** There's a wide variety of character interactions in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' (and ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]'') between different companions in different locations. When entering the Fade to rescue Connor's soul, you can pick from a number of companions or supporting characters to give ADayInTheLimeLight to.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' takes this trope to a slightly different conclusion, where the characters in your party can sometimes join in on a conversation and effect its outcome. E.g. Varric can outright lie and charm to get out of trouble, Merrill and Anders will offer magey advice, Fenris punches through people's chests. The PlayerCharacter has similar options depending on what class they are, or what personality (Diplomatic, Charming, Aggressive) they establish.
** The "Legacy" DLC is based around a mysterious link between Hawke's father and the Grey Wardens, so your surviving sibling and ex-Warden Anders have the most to say. In "Mark of the Assassin", Isabela and Aveline get the most detailed sidequests. Isabela gets to save (or not) some pirates turned to stone by a curse, while Aveline stumbles upon a mystery to do with her family's roots in Orlais.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' naturally has a few moments like this as well, although they don't usually alter the outcome of whole quests.
* Plentiful in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', as these are usually lead ins or events as part of that companion's particular loyalty quest. These can range from the game's usual BlackComedy to absolute TearJerker in terms of content. Your canine companion also has a unique non-quest TimmyInAWell event that only triggers if you elected to flip the SillinessSwitch at the start of the game.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' - Multiple for example Bringing Cyan to the [[spoiler: Dinner in Vector]] will make General Leo address him specifically and [[spoiler: apologize for Doma.]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' has another rather odd one: the optional scene where Gau confronts his father has to be triggered by Sabin for some reason, though Gau must be there too. The dialogue changes depending on the other characters in the active party, but some only get lines if they're ''not'' active.
** Also throughout the game in certain cutscenes a certain character will be given certain lines. If that character is not present, then it will simply be a generic line in quotation marks. For example, when the party meets Ramuh, if Locke is present he'll remark that his grandmother told him about Espers. If Locke isn't there, the line will be said but attributed to no one.
** If Edgar and Sabin are in the party during the opera sequence, a significant twist is revealed about the coin used for Setzer's coin flip... which was used once before.
** The first time the game let you form a team, if you have Sabin in your party, he is going to leave you as soon as you set a foot on Figaro's Castle, rejoining you when you leave. However, if you have both, Sabin and Edgar, a cutscene will be triggered if you sleep in the castle, and after this Sabin will not leave you party anymore when you wander Figaro. Also, for this same trip, if Locke is with you, when you go to Kohlingen you get to see some scenes of Rachel. Now, if Celes is with you here, and she saw Locke reminiscing about Rachel, she (Celes) will linger a little bit more after the party leaves, staring at Rachel's corpse and wondering about Locke's pain.
** Before the fight with Kefka, most party members will make a speech. Depending on how many and which characters you brought along, the result can range from moving, to narmy, to surreal.

** But by far the biggest example in the game, and possibly the entire series, is [[http://serenesforest.net/wiki/index.php/Chapter_20:_Defending_Talrega_%28Script%29 Chapter 20.]] Previously, it was possible to recruit Jill, a Wyvern Rider from the country you're fighting. The enemy commander in this chapter is her father. Dialogue here changes depending on:
*** If Jill is deployed. This is also affected by whether or not you viewed an optional conversation with her last chapter, or if she's formed a friendship with Mist.
*** If she is, having Jill fight the generic enemy {{Mooks}} results in dialogue, where they yell at her for being a traitor.

The developers seem to have expected you to view this scene, because Emeralda [[spoiler: appears grown-up in the ending]].

** Throughout the series, several bosses have different dialogue if fought with certain characters. Even rarer are the bosses that have different ''death quotes'' if defeated with a specific character, such as [[WorthyOpponent defeating Bryce with Ike in Path of Radiance]], or [[CainAndAbel defeating Yen'fay with Say'ri]] in ''FireEmblemAwakening''.

* Since FinalDeath is present throughout the ''FireEmblem'' series, oftentimes [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything the dav team will think of everything]] and change dialogue according to which characters are present and which characters aren't. [[FireEmblemTellius Path of Radiance]] goes to particular lengths with this trope, with many scenes having a ''huge'' amount of variations depending on character survival. Even some Support Conversations change to reflect specific character deaths!
** But by far the biggest example in the game, and possibly the entire series, is [[http://serenesforest.net/wiki/index.php/Chapter_20:_Defending_Talrega_%28Script%29 Chapter 20.]] Previously, it was possible to recruit Jill, a Wyvern Rider from the country you're fighting. The enemy commander in this chapter is her father. Dialogue here changes depending on:
*** If Jill is deployed. This is also affected by whether or not you viewed an optional conversation with her last chapter, or if she's formed a friendship with Mist.
*** If she is, having Jill fight the generic enemy {{Mooks}} results in dialogue, where they yell at her for being a traitor.
*** Shiharam's speech to his second-in-command changes depending on if Jill was recruited or not.
*** And by far the biggest and most shocking: it's possible for Jill to speak to her father. If you didn't develop her RelationshipValues [[GuideDangIt just right]], it's actually possible for her to ''switch sides and join the enemy''. If this happens, there's no going back: you'll have to kill her.

Isabela gets to save (or not) some pirates turned to stone by a curse, while Aveline finds a confusing SequelHook to do with her family's roots in Orlais.
