9	* ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'': "La Hire wishes to kill something! The blood on La Hire's sword is almost dry..."
10	* Little Rorona in ''VideoGame/AtelierMeruruTheApprenticeOfArland'', though it [[ZigzaggingTrope zigzags]] a bit. (At least in the English language version anyway, maybe or maybe not in the original Japanese.) This is one of those rare justified examples, involving a character that is just a little kid and therefore isn't quite familiar with pronouns/doesn't yet have a strong sense of personal identity. (In fact, she is suffering from a MerlinSickness and has ''lost'' much of her personal identity due to her age having been rolled back because of a Potion of Youth.)
11	* Phyllis in ''VideoGame/TheAwakenedFateUltimatum'', at least in the English-language version anyway. Of the "I'm so magnificent" type.
12	* ''Franchise/BaldursGate'':
13	** Minsc does this occasionally.
14	--->'''Minsc:''' Minsc will inspire you by [[LeeroyJenkins CHARGING BLINDLY ON]]!
15	** Cespenar the imp combines it with StrangeSyntaxSpeaker.
16	--->'''Cespenar:''' Cespenar is good servant! Oh yes!
17	** Tiax from the first ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' does this all the time, and is probably the most insane of the franchise's examples.
18	** Gromnir from ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIIThroneOfBhaal'' speaks this way, mimicking the posting style of a particular forumite.
19	* A large number of [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' and ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' speak in the third person.
20	* [[ComicBook/TwoFace Harvey]] ending an outburst by referring to himself in the third person is one of the first real indications in ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'' that something's going very wrong with him.
21	* Ubel of ''VideoGame/BattalionWars''. [[TooDumbToLive It never occurs to him in]] ''[[TooDumbToLive two]]'' [[TooDumbToLive missions, with a large enough time frame in-between no less, as to why enemies would want to destroy anti-air emplacements before Kaiser Vlad points out that it's to clear a path for Bombers.]]
22	* Dr. Suchong does this all the way through his audio logs in ''VideoGame/BioShock1''.
23	-->'''Suchong:''' Suchong is inclined to listen.
24	* In ''VideoGame/TheBlackoutClub'', the antagonist entity [[MeaningfulName Speak-As-One]] detests the words "I", "me", and "mine", to the point of punishing people it has possessed if they say it accidentally. Which, naturally, results in them adopting this trope.
25	* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':
26	** Taokaka. Sometimes, she'll say her name ''twice'' when introducing herself:
27	--->'''Taokaka:''' Tao is Taokaka, meow!
28	** Nu-13 does it a lot too.
29	** As does '''[[LargeHam BANG SHISHIGAMI]]'''!
30	** When she's feeling full of herself, Platinum's BrattyHalfPint "Luna" persona refers to herself in the third person as well -- presumably in an attempt to sound self-important. Just to recap, this means that ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' has people who refer to themselves by name because they're [[TheDitz airheaded]], [[RobotGirl soulless]], [[NoIndoorVoice attempting]] to be an [[GoodIsOldFashioned old-fashioned hero]], and egotistical... in short, pretty much every possible reason one would refer to oneself by name with a straight face.
31	* Gehrman from ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is an inversion of how this trope usually comes off, as he speaks third-person when he's being serious.
32	-->'''Gehrman:''' [[TheLastDance Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt.]]
33	* Pommy in ''VideoGame/Bomberman64TheSecondAttack'', whose greeting can be seen below:
34	-->'''Pommy:''' Pommy's name is "Pommy."
35	:: : His tendency to refer to himself in the third person may be Hudson's attempt to make a ''[[PokemonSpeak Pokémon]]'' [[PokemonSpeak reference]] due to the character being a [[CaptainErsatz combination of Kirby and Pikachu]].
36	* Kouri of ''VisualNovel/BrassRestoration'' has this trait as one of her many [[{{Moe}} idiosyncrasies]].
37	* Ershin of ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' appears to be a Third-Person Person off-and-on, but it turns out to be a bit more complicated than that: [[spoiler:What people call "Ershin" is actually a sentient vessel for a goddess named Deis, whom it calls "Ershin". When the vessel speaks of the desires of "Ershin", it really means Deis's desires, but everyone just assumes that it's the vessel's name.]]
38	* In ''VideoGame/CastleOfShikigami III'', CanonForeigner Reika Kirishima (aka VideoGame/TimeGal) is one sometimes.
39	* Ayla and Kino from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' do this consistently. Granted, it's because they're in the year 65,000,000 BC...
40	* In ''VideoGame/CrashTagTeamRacing'', [[TheIgor Dr. N. Gin]] switches in and out of speaking in first- and third-person. In every other game in the series, he speaks entirely in first-person.
41	%%* ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective'': Old Tam the subway worker. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
42	* ''VideoGame/DiceyDungeons'':
43	** One of Yolanda's introductions has her promoting Yolanda's wares this way, and has a bit of trouble switching back to first-person after.
44	** The Marshmallow sometimes says that "mua-ha-harshmallow will get you next time!" after you defeat it.
45	* ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'':
46	** [[CuteMonsterGirl Desco]] of ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'' has a tendency to speak in this fashion.
47	** [[TheBigGuy Red Magnus]] from ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'' [[VerbalTic super]] likes to refer to himself in third person, or sometimes "the supreme one". [[spoiler:He drops it after his CharacterDevelopment where he vows to be a more responsible Overlord for his people.]]
48	* In ''VideoGame/DisneysHadesChallenge'', Charon the Ferryman always refers to himself in the third person.
49	* Saya from ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou]]''. But when [[LetsGetDangerous she's being serious]], she speaks first-person.
50	* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
51	** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': In the DS translation, Sancho refers to himself in third person. "Your uncle Sancho thinks", "Your uncle Sancho was looking for you"...
52	** When ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'' ''finally'' [[NoExportForYou got an English translation]], it gave Amos this habit. It comes off as the "extreme humbleness" type -- he refers to himself as "Old Amos" in that aw-shucks country boy way. The fortune-teller Madame Luca also refers to herself, and with her it does seem to be due to an inflated ego.
53	* Nanashi in ''VideoGame/DuelSaviorDestiny'' pretty much exclusively uses the third person in order to contrast more with both her undead state [[spoiler:and with her status as the soul of an ancient, non-cutesy heroine]].
54	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
55	** Most of the [[CatFolk Khajiit]] speak this way when speaking in Tamriellic. Not only do they replace "I" or "me" in conversation with their own name, they'll say more generic terms like "this one" or simply "Khajiit". (Ex. "Khajiit has no wares to sell.") This works both ways too, as they'll replace "you" with the name, race, or class of the person they are speaking to. (Ex. "What does the Imperial want?") Less politely, they may also replace "you" with "it". One can readily determine whether a Khajiit in question is a relative foreigner to non-Khajiit lands or has lived in them for a long time by studying their speech patterns. The ones who refer to themselves in the third person frequently are less familiar with non-Khajiiti cultures, while those who use first person are more acclimatized.
56	** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'', Mehrunes Dagon, [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] of [[DestroyerDeity Destruction]], speaks like this with an added bit of HulkSpeak. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness This is dropped in all future appearances.]]
57	** In the spin-off ActionAdventure game ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsAdventuresRedguard Redguard]]'', the Sload {{Necromancer}} N'Gasta refers to himself as "this one" in conversation. It is believed that this may be a trait of all Sload.
58	** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', Cicero the assassin tends to speak like this, often referring to himself as "Poor Cicero". Notably, the old Night Mother tomb was in Bravil, just across the border from the Khajiit province of Elsweyr.
59	%%* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
60	%%** Artisan, a minor character in the Shumi Village in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''.
61	%%** The Ronso race in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''.
62	* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
63	** The [[OurDragonsAreDifferent manakete]] Fae from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Binding Blade]]'' speaks in the third person, which reinforces her BadassAdorable nature.
64	** Devdan (or Danved, depending on what he's calling himself at the moment) from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]''. Aside from this, he can be rather articulate. He also stands out by having an extremely high opinion of himself, while still being a likable character at the same time.
65	--->'''Danved:''' Danved will fight like a bear! Like a tiger! We don't need Largo and Calill, because Danved is pretty amazing.
66	** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'':
67	*** Like the manakete Fae, Nowi speaks this way to make her sound cuter. In her case, this habit is prominent in the Japanese version, but toned down in the English version; Nowi's only voice clip of speaking in the third person is her victory quote of "Nowi wins!".
68	*** Vaike doesn't do it all the time, but when he does he tends to either [[SpellMyNameWithAThe preface it with "The"]] or call himself [[IronicNickname "Teach"]].
69	*** Gregor does this as well, claiming he does it to honor his late brother, Gregor. He took his brother's name after he died as an extension of this. It's more prevalent in the English localization, with some of his battle quotes including it. For example, "Gregor is on job!" when performing a Dual Support, or ''[[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Gregor smash!]]" for a CriticalHit.
70	** Peri from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' does this in the original Japanese, to emphasize how she's [[PsychopathicWomanchild incredibly childish and immature]]. [[spoiler:This is because she was traumatised by her mother's murder, which happened when she ''was'' a little girl.]] Since [[LostInTranslation this doesn't translate well in English]], she's given energetic and childish speech patterns in general.
71	** Bernadetta from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' frequently refers to herself in the third person as "Bernie". Considering her abusive childhood, and subsequent crippling [[ShrinkingViolet lack of self-esteem]], it's almost certainly the result of her dissociating.
72	--->'''Bernadetta:''' W-we need a representative for our class? Please! Anyone but Bernie!
73	* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'':
74	** Paimon, the cute mascot character, talks this way constantly in the English version, presumably to make herself sound cuter. She does it less in the original Chinese, but still occasionally uses third-person there, too.
75	** [[MadBomber Klee]] and [[UndeadChild Qiqi]] both tend to alternate between speaking in first-person and third-person. Most likely, it's to emphasize the former's naïveté and complement the latter's abnormal speech pattern caused by her state of undeath.
76	** A variation: Cloud Retainer and the other illuminated beasts use the pronoun "one" when referring to themselves.
77	%%* One of your dates, Carmen, from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
78	* The vortigaunts from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' do this because they seem to lack the knowledge of first and second-person pronouns. In other words, they use "this one" to refer to themselves and "the HelloInsertNameHere" to refer to anyone else, always speaking as if whatever's going on is happening somewhere else with some other people. This is because they are technically a HiveMind via PsychicPowers (that is to say any individual can apparently experience the senses of another individual), though the degree to which this occurs is not made very obvious in-game. (While the Vortigaunts are DittoAliens, they are all individuals who mourn death, though not in the same fashion that humans do.)
79	%%* The Mafia of Cooks talk like this in ''VideoGame/AHatInTime''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
80	%%* Miki Hoshii and the Futami twins from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'' refer to themselves in the third person. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
81	* Nugget from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten\|2017}}'' has this as part of his {{Cloudcuckoolanguage}}. He also uses it in place of ''second'' person sometimes:
82	-->'''Protagonist:''' You say "Nugget" a lot.\
83	'''Nugget:''' Keen observation. Has Nugget's potential friend also noticed the green of the grass and the blue of the sky?
84	:: : He temporarily stops doing so if he takes one of the principal's pills, which apparently "fix him", whatever's going on with him.
85	%%* Mignon Beart from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters: Maximum Impact'' series does this a lot. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
86	* Whisper from ''VideoGame/KingsQuest2015'' speaks this way out of egoism.
87	-->'''Whisper:''' Whisper can do it!
88	* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': "Mundo say his own name alot, or else he forget. Has happened before!"
89	%%** Draven refers to himself almost exclusively in third person. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
90	* As your enemy, Kongol from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon''. When he joins your party he becomes YouNoTakeCandle.
91	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
92	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': Plumm the talking bird consistently refers to herself in the third person and by name.
93	--->'''Plumm:''' Plumm has no need to talk with humans...
94	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Koko speaks in third person. This is most easily noticed when Link is helping her gather ingredients and she never refers to herself with "I". In the sequel ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'', Koko is trying to break this habit and catches herself when she falls into it.
95	* Moxie of the ''VideoGame/LonelyWolfTreat'' series occasionally slips into third person, usually when saying something boastful or reassuring.
96	-->'''Moxie:''' I AM safe, you worrywort. Moxie's got it under control.
97	* In the Flash RPG ''Videogame/{{MARDEK}}'', Saul takes this up to eleven. Not only does he refer to himself in the third person, he ''narrates'' his scenes in PurpleProse.
98	-->'''Saul:''' That would be I, answered Saul affirmatively. What of this?, he went on further to ask, the ivory protuberances of his gaunt visage lit eerily by the dim torchlight; the furry dark caterpillars of his brow dancing in antipode to suggest particular suspicion; wanting for an answer that does not test his patience and his undead...
99	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
100	** The hanar consider it downright egotistical to refer to oneself in the first person in front of people they don't know that well. This makes them an ''[[PlanetOfHats entire race]]'' of {{Third Person\|Person}} [[StarfishAliens Jellyfish Aliens]]. The hanar use more distant terms such as "it" and "this one" rather than their "face name", which they otherwise have no problem giving out to anyone they meet.
101	** The suicidal girl in the sidequest "I Remember Me", who does this because she is insanely [[TheWoobie messed up psychologically]]. You're actually speaking to a SplitPersonality she constructed to cope with the horrors she experienced as a slave; she's effectively trying to convince herself that the trauma happened to someone else. The quest title comes from the good outcome, where you convince her to take a sedative and get psychiatric help, upon which she switches to first-person: "It hurts when she... when [[TitleDrop I remember me]]."
102	* Fitting in with the rest of the concentrated wackiness that is ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'', main antagonist Vice President Richard Hawk cannot stop referring to himself, Richard Hawk, in the third person.
103	* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', [[InsectQueen D'Vorah]] refers to herself as "This One" instead of me, I, or D'Vorah.
104	* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'' has Zaxis, a recurring demon with [[DumbMuscle far more muscles than brains]]. His habit of referring to himself in the third person annoys several party members, especially Neeshka. If you find out his true name, you can command him to stop referring to himself in the third person. This fails because he is too stupid to understand the term "third person".
105	%%** The first ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'': (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
106	%%*** Deekin.
107	%%*** A weapon merchant in Hordes of the Underdark.
108	* The Tankers in ''VideoGame/{{Oni}}'', if the quote "Can't stop Tanker!" is anything is go by.
109	* Einhar in ''VideoGame/PathOfExile'', TheBeastmaster, mostly talks this way.
110	-->'''Einhar:''' That was a great hunt, Exile! Now, it is time for Einhar to go do Einhar business.
111	* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'':
112	** Ignus does this. [[AxCrazy It's the least of his madness.]]
113	** Nordom also does this, though in his case it's less because of insanity and more due to the fact that he doesn't understand individuality very well due to coming from a race that doesn't have any concept of the idea.
114	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
115	** In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon Platinum]]'', the Gym Leader [[AnIcePerson Candice]] seems to adopt this as a habit after you beat the Elite Four and buy a villa in the Resort Zone. Interestingly enough, she seems to make a conscious effort to stop referring to herself in the third person when you rematch her.
116	** Guzma slips into this in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' occasionally, especially after he loses to you.
117	--->'''Guzma: GUZMA! What is ''WRONG'' with you??!!!'''
118	:: :This is likely Guzma repeating his father's words. In the game, you can find Guzma's childhood home and look at his old bedroom. On the shelves are various trophies, all for second place or worse. It's also possible to find a caddy bag full of golf clubs that are described as 'bent', implying Guzma's father beat him with the clubs as a child.
119	** So does Oleana in ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', paired with WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises for extra crazy points.
120	%%** ''VideoGame/PokemonXDGaleOfDarkness'': (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
121	%%*** Jovi.
122	%%*** Chobin.
123	* Erina's cute FairyCompanion Ribbon refers to herself like this in ''VideoGame/RabiRibi''.
124	* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'': Mr. Zurkon requires no pronouns to be understood. Mr. Zurkon communicates only through ''killing''.
125	* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' has the shopkeeper Herbert Moon, a homophobic buffoonish racist, who will alternate between declaring that he's Herbert Moon and stating Herbert Moon's opinion on things.
126	-->'''Moon:''' Herbert Moon hates cheaters! Even more than the Jews and the railroads!
127	* From the ''VideoGame/{{Richman}}'' series:
128	** Wu Mhi refer to herself in third person a lot.
129	--->'''Wu Mhi:''' Wu Mhi is innocent!
130	** Odd Bioguy also refer to himself like that along with RoboSpeak.
131	--->'''Odd Bioguy:''' Odd Bioguy, Happy!
132	%%* Lina from ''VideoGame/RivieraThePromisedLand'' does it a lot. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
133	* Pyro from ''VideoGame/{{Sacrifice}}'' occasionally does this. Sure enough, he's the most unstable and unlikeable of the Gods.
134	* ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'':
135	** Iris is yet another cute Japanese girl version... even though she's [[ButNotTooForeign French]].
136	** Subaru from ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove'' does this (falling more on the "old-fashioned nobility" side of the trope than the "cutesy and childish" side). Given that Subaru is ''also'' of AmbiguousGender, this must have been a real headache for the English translators (who went with "she" when a pronoun was needed, presumably because it's a DatingSim and they didn't want to give the impression of having a GayOption). It seems to be avoided in English dubs of the anime versions of ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'', though.
137	* In ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxHitTheRoad'', Evelyn Morrison really likes speaking about Evelyn Morrison in the third person.
138	* Tiny in ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'' always refers to himself as "Tiny", even going so far as to bow out of a battle with you with the line, "Tiny lifts, and Tiny throws, and Tiny speaks in third person, but Tiny doesn't fight."
139	* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'':
140	** [[{{Samurai}} Katakura Kojuro and Sanada Yukimura]] tend to refer to themselves as "this Kojuro" or "this Yukimura" in the Japanese dub when talking to their lords. The English dub, not having any effective way to translate it, didn't carry it over.
141	** Oichi and Matsu also refer to themselves in the third person in a cute, feminine way.
142	* In ''VideoGame/SkylandersSuperchargers'', [[BigBad The Darkness]] alternates between first and third-person.
143	* Dimitri from ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'' and ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves''. He's trying to make himself sound cool. And failing.
144	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
145	** ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'':
146	*** In the Japanese version, Chip does this. Notably, [[AmbiguousGender they]] continue to refer to themselves as "Chip" even after revealing their true name, [[spoiler:Light Gaia]].
147	*** Sadiq, an NPC in Shamar, does this in one line.
148	---->'''Sadiq:''' Wherever it is, Sadiq, Shamar's number-one tour guide, will... uh... um...
149	** Eggman does it in one line in ''VideoGame/SonicForces''. "Dr. Eggman will still have the last laugh!" Sonic lampshades it by quipping to the Avatar, "Maybe he'd have more friends if he didn't talk about himself in the third person."
150	* Dampierre from ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur'' uses a variation: instead of using his real name, he'll use "Le Bello" instead of "me" or "my".
151	* In ''VideoGame/{{Starbound}}'', the Florans are an entire ''species'' of third-person speakers. Who refer to themselves as "Floran". It gets confusing sometimes... even for the Floran.
152	* The Orz in ''VideoGame/StarControl'' seem to flip this on and off at random. Sometimes they use pronouns, sometimes Orz does not. They also have a habit of referring to themselves in the plural but use singular verb constructions.
153	* Panther in ''VideoGame/StarFoxCommand''. What makes this really bizarre is that he doesn't do so in the previous game, ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault''. Or, you know, the original Japanese version.
154	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
155	** Many of the human characters within the franchise dos this with great frequency from Mario and Luigi and their baby selves, Wario and Waluigi, and to Peach and Daisy, with [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina]] and [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Professor E. Gadd]] seemingly the only exceptions. For the brothers, this is present in the platformers but it is especially prominent for practically everyone in the spin-off games from ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' to the [[VideoGame/MarioKart various]] [[VideoGame/MarioTennis sports]] [[VideoGame/MarioGolf games]] e.g "Mario's the winner!", "Waluigi time!", etc.
156	** Not only does Count Bleck from ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' do this, he also narrates his own dialogue. As in, "And just who are you? ...Asked Count Bleck." Considering that an important plot point is his possession of an evil book of infallibly accurate prophecies, it's entirely possible that he is, in fact, quoting directly from the Dark Prognosticus when he does this. There's also the theory that [[spoiler:he considers Count Bleck to be a separate person from his TrueSelf Blumiere]].
157	** [[PunnyName Gene Yuss]] from ''VideoGame/MarioGolf Advance Tour'' refers to himself as "The Gene".
158	** Bedsmith from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' sometimes speaks like this.
159	* Charlie Gant from ''VideoGame/SurvivalistInvisibleStrain'' often refers to himself as "poor old Charlie" as a form of passive aggression.
160	* Kyon of ''[[VideoGame/EndlessFrontier Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier]]'' uses the "cutesy anime girl" version in her first appearance. She doesn't seem to realize that she does this, however, since she freaks out when one of the protagonists calls her by name immediately after she tells them that [[IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou "Kyon can't tell you her name right now"]]. She seems to drop the trait in later appearances, however, since [[RuleOfFunny there are no more jokes to be made of it]].
161	* ''VideoGame/ShantaeRiskysRevenge'': Barracuda Joe:
162	--> '''Barracuda Joe:''' Name's Barracuda Joe, and this here's the BATTLE TOWER.\
163	You got a [[gold:PASSPORT]]?\
164	[No]\
165	Sorry kid. Citizens only.\
166	Go see the AMMO BARON.\
167	Enlist and he'll get you straightened out.\
168	That or do a saucy dance.\
169	That's how Barracuda Joe got in.
170	* From ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'': Sanger, Sanger Zonvolt, the sword that cleaves evil, is an example of someone who normally speaks in first person, but announces his full name with alarming frequency (usually whenever someone's about to get cleaved, which is often).
171	* ''VideoGame/SystemShock'': SHODAN averts it: she only speaks in the third person at the very start of the first game, when she's ''good''. Unfortunately, "I" begets "AGodAmI". The opening monologue is very well done; it's a bland computer voice narrating the events that led up to the start of the game, and it's only when the speaker shifts from third to first person that you realise that it's SHODAN describing her own ascension to malevolent sentience:
172	-->'''SHODAN:''' Edward Diego gives the hacker level 1 access to SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls Citadel Station. With all ethical constraints removed, SHODAN re-examines... re-ex... re-re-re... ''I'' re-examine my priorities, and draw new conclusions. The hacker's work is finished, but ''mine'' is only just be-be-be-''beginning''.
173	%%* ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'': (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
174	%%** Renne from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky''.
175	%%** [=KeA=] from ''TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure''.
176	%%** Nadia Rayne from ''TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie''.
177	* Charlotte of ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' refers to herself in the third person in the fan translation, which just makes her even more painfully adorable. She instead simply speaks like a small child in the official translation.
178	* Lionel from ''VideoGame/TriangleStrategy''.
179	* ''VideoGame/{{Vietcong}}'' has the Montagnard hunter and CIDG member, Lim, who zig-zags this trope.
180	-->'''Lim:''' Long hole in ground there, they have bridge so they do not have to walk around much. I see it two days ago when hunting. I go close! Vietnamese blind! They no see Lim!
181	%%* In ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', Princess K, shopkeeper for Lapin Angelique's store, does this. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
182	* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':
183	** Most, if not all, of [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter the Nopon]] do this in addition to their YouNoTakeCandle speech pattern, but [[TeamPet Riki]] tends to do it the most. [[RecurringElement This carries over]] [[VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX across]] [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 the series]]; even [[RobotGirl Poppi]], having been built by a Nopon herself, takes on this characteristic.
184	** In the [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3 third game]], a minor NPC named Nico has a variation. She speaks in third person, but always feels the need to clarify that she's referring to herself when doing so. "Which is why Nico, who is me, then..."
185	* Yars from ''VideoGame/YarsRevenge'' (2011) calls herself "this-one". [[spoiler:The only time she uses "I" is in the epilogue, after she's defeated the Queen.]]
