*** As is fitting for another game involving Namco Bandai, the main god EZI in VideoGame/EternalSonata is very much PlayedForLaughs as well: the party can collect a number of bizarre items bearing his name, most of them mocking him relentlessly (his face makes children cry, all candy associated with him tastes bland or terrible, he's apparently capable of laying eggs, etc.) and in one of them he's described as being an overweight man. People who worship him are also obsessed with the the number [[ArcNumber 321]], and an altar to him gives you that much money when searched, and collecting all of the items with his name on them awards you with an achievement worth equally many [[AchievementSystem Gamerscore]]. In an optional(?) scene, the main [[TheHero hero]] Allegretto is asked to describe him, and after several attempts at trying to come up with confusing metaphors to describe him, even he has no idea exactly what EZI is actually supposed to be a god of.

** Mind you, the Endless are not gods but {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s of universal constants: They aren't creators or objects of worship but avatars and wave functions. They were created by their concepts, they didn't create them, and they're fairly impotent outside of their domains. That said, if having the concept of Entropy look like BrianBlessed doesn't count for this trope then what does?
** Several old gods show up during the course of the series (but not the Judeo-Christian one) and generally avert this trope, looking like humanity has always envisioned them. The exception to this is probably Lord Kilderkin, an avatar of the concept of 'order'. He looks like a cardboard box, and communicates through spontaneously generating messages on small strips of paper from inside the box.
