* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'': The nation of Keves salutes with one arm vertical, fist at chest height. The nation of Agnus is similar, but at an angle, with the fist held over the chest. The difference is likely a reference to the fact that the Agnian queen has a core crystal in her chest.

* Using the ''actual'' British military salute in an American drama, or vice-versa, can essentially function as an example of this trope in terms of exotic-ness. While both salutes are identical in function, the palm is turned outward in a British salute, whereas in an American salute the palm is turned downward and slightly towards the body.

* Using the ''actual'' British military salute in an American drama, or vice-versa, can essentially function as an example of this trope in terms of exotic-ness. While both salutes are identical in function, the palm is turned outward in a British salute, whereas in an American salute the palm is turned downward and slightly towards the body. The British Army version is described as being "Longest way up, shortest way down" - to whit, your saluting hand describes a wide arc to the side of your body, until it curves in to the palm-out-at-the-forehead position, then the hand is snapped straight downwards when the salute is acknowledged by the recipient. Actual Army men were so offended by John Levene botching this, in his first appearance as Corporal Benton in Series/DoctorWho, that they sent the producers a letter demanding he be turned over to them for training so he could get it right in future.[[note]] Apparently the training involved a lot of Scotch-drinking (by everyone, including Levene) and shouting instructions at him. In all appearances afterwards, however, Benton's salute is notably crisper and more like regulation, so it did ''work''...[[/note]]

There are a couple of cases where Imperials used something like the Roman salute, which the Nazi one is based on. And in one comic where Luke greets a superior his palm is turned outwards in what really looks like some kind of salute - since it's one panel and we see it from the superior's POV, it's hard to tell.

* The Windurstian salute in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' is pretty bizarre - you hold your arms before you diagonally, with your fingertips nearly meeting up top. The San d'Orian and Bastokan salutes are more normal - stand at attention and pound your forearm and fist to your chest, and step forward with your left foot while holding your right arm (with balled fist) out before you horizontally as though to guard, respectively. There are also cutscene-only Jeunoan and Aht Urghanian salutes; Aht Urghan's is also pretty weird - with a flattened hand, start at the top of your head and trace a three-quarter circle to your side.
** Obviously, the last Star Sybil was [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari.]]
** Then there's the salute from the followers of the church of Altana. Raise both hands, open and palms up, while bowing your head.
* Two of the Grand Companies in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' have a unique salute: members of the Immortal Flames put their left fist over their heart, while members of the Order of the Twin Adder put one arm over the other in front of them and bow their head. The Maelstrom averts this trope in favor of a traditional MilitarySalute. [[TheEmpire The Garlean Empire]] have their own "hand over heart" salute (Similar to the ''Franchise/AttackOnTitan'' example above), and the new Crystal Braves have their own unique salute, with your right arm bent 90 degrees pointing upward.
* The 12 playable races in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' each have their own unique salute.
* In the ''VideoGAme/QuestForGlory'' series, the Thieves' Sign (a type of salute for thieves to covertly make themselves known to other thieves) changed slightly throughout the games, but involved something similar to crossing your eyes while wiggling the fingers on one hand and rubbing your belly with the other. It had a few practical uses for progressing in the game, but mostly it just made people think you were a little loopy.

* The [=SeeD=] salute in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' consists of raising the right hand, palm turned inward, to partially cover the face. This becomes a minor plot point later in the game, when Selphie uses the wrong salute when disguised as a Galbadian soldier. Another point has Rinoa pretending to be a [=SeeD=], and is shown mimicking it with a slight delay, as she was never taught it. [[spoiler:The salute was later revealed to be the result of a StableTimeLoop where one of the founders of the Balamb Garden saw one of the main character doing it.]]

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', the Youth League members salute with their arm horizontal across their chest, and their open palm facing down.

This looks very much like a Nazi salute with the steps executed in reverse order, making it [[ValuesDissonance extremely disconcerting]] when Lightning does it.

[[TheEmpire The Garlean Empire]] have their own "hand over heart" salute (Similar to the ''Franchise/AttackOnTitan'' example above), and the new Crystal Braves have their own unique salute, with your right arm bent 90 degrees pointing upward.
* In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', the X-Nauts salute by crossing their arms in an x over their chests.
* In the ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory'' series, the Thieves' Sign (a type of salute for thieves to covertly make themselves known to other thieves) changed slightly throughout the games, but involved something similar to crossing your eyes while wiggling the fingers on one hand and rubbing your belly with the other. It had a few practical uses for progressing in the game, but mostly it just made people think you were a little loopy.
* In ''VideoGame/SpaceRangers'', the Maloqs are a ProudWarriorRaceGuy, whose salute is punching the one being saluted in the shoulder. If you wish to show great respect for the saluted, you punch them in the jaw. Because Maloqs are physically very strong, diplomacy with other races can be bit iffy; in one quest, a Maloq purposefully holds himself back in order to not kill you with his punch.
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': Show Me Your Moves! is Captain Falcon's taunt phrase accompanied by the salute.
* The 12 playable races in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' each have their own unique salute.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', the Youth League members salute with their arm horizontal across their chest, and their open palm facing down.
