How many times in MGSV: The Phantom Pain did a character talk about literal phantom pains in their missing limbs, or directly explain that emotional and cultural losses are metaphorical "phantom pains."
I think at least six or seven times?

You know, this scene should have been pretty cringe inducing. Not only do they name drop the name of the game but they also explain the thesis of the game's story pretty bluntly. But goddamn I love it. Really made an impart on me as a teenager.
How does this one work in Japanese? Or does this scene even exist there?

The series is called Psycho Break in Japan so they must have had a harder time of it
Not a game, but we rented Call of the Wild last night and Harrison Ford's closing monologue made me laugh and reminded me of "you know, Ellie". At the end, he growls out with his gravelly old voice (that sounds like he's imitating David Hayter) a little closing diatribe talking about the dog that ends: he was just a dog... until he answered... THE CALL-- [screen slams black, text reads THE CALL OF THE WILD]

Threw my PlayStation out the window.

what the fuck they actually went and did it
This will never be topped until Joel turns to Ellie and tells her that they really are the last of us.
The memes are just too strong.
I love it when Final Fantasy games consistently work their numbers into the worldbuilding. Final Fantasy XIII having clocks with 13 hours is great and they never bring attention to it (until they have to use 12 hours for Lightning Returns' gameplay) and VII has a few subtle ones, like there technically only being 7 sectors in Midgar once the game begins.
Also Bravely Default: Flying Fairy but that one's a bit of a spoiler

"Cloud, I'm here to Remake our destiny. You see, this will not be our Final Fantasy. You only have VII seconds left. Will you do it?"
Squall starts the game at level 7 with just enough experience to automatically level up to 8 on the first battle, thus symbolizing moving on from FF7 to FF8.
I remember this dialogue near the ending.
Snake: this Metal Gear is pretty Solid... how many do you have?
Seller: a whole lot. But they aren't cheap.
Snake: How much money is left, Ocelot?
Ocelot: Almost none. We can afford like... five?
Snake nods to the seller: Metal Gear Solid, 3. *looks at Ocelot* Subsistence.
Sorry for the low quality post

This scene shouldn't have hit as hard as it did back then but goddamnit. What a game

He starts the dialog with "what, still here?"
Going with DLCs story context, it's Fromsoftware way to the players to stop asking for more and move on
....Huh. I never actually finished the game so I figured this was just an actual line in the game the whole time.
