* ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'': In one of the later cutscenes, an error with Welch's holo-projector causes her form to distort into a variety of shapes like a 3d funhouse mirror, making Edge crack up each time it happens. All the while, things seem to be perfectly fine on Welch's end, as she reacts to Edges mad laughter with confusion.
