10 Important Video Game Cutscenes You Totally Missed

4. Seifer's True Power - Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy VIII continued the trend first introduced in its predecessor of bringing 3D visuals and impressive pre-rendered backgrounds to its showdowns, giving each and every character and chapter a much bigger sense of challenge.

One of the best examples of this at work is when the party encounters Seifer after landing in the Lunatic Pandora.

However, whilst the showdown is fondly remembered anyway, there is a hidden cutscene that most people missed that involves picking up Guardian Force Odin and using him in the showdown.

Seasoned players know it's a better idea to save picking up Odin until after the fight against Seifer, but using him in this fight results in the great God being mercilessly being sliced in half.

Whilst it's a shocking thing to see, it will at least gift viewers a unique cutscene where another Guardian Force, Gilgamesh in this case, turns up out of the blue to take his place.

Only one of these GFs are allowed to go with players throughout the remainder of the game, so this is naturally the most important moment in the game for all those Gilgamesh fans out there.
