No Cutscene Inventory Inertia	comment	In Video Games, it's quite rare for your character to be limited to one weapon or costume. One of the benefits of using real-time-rendering and textures is that you can swap them out for other things to change the look and feel of a character's costume or give them different equipment. Often times, however (especially in earlier games), cutscenes are not rendered in real time. This can create some continuity issues, since there can be only one possible configuration of gear used in the cutscene. Usually, this is the default gear the character starts the game with. In recent years this has been minimized somewhat by the increased prevalence of in-engine cutscenes, which are complex sets of animations rendered in real-time as opposed to a video file that plays. That said, even for games that handle cutscenes in this manner, this trope is still noticeably prevalent for many reasons. One is that in-engine cutscenes may use higher-quality models for the characters and their weapons and equipment —if the devs only made one high-quality weapon model, then that's what you're always going to be seen with. A subtrope of Story Overwrite, and, by extension, Gameplay and Story Segregation. Compare Informed Equipment for worn or wielded items not being visible.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_1670bd19	comment	S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl shows the Marked One carrying an AKS-74U in every cutscene. While that makes sense for flashbacks that occur before the game begins, the player would most likely have a more powerful weapon by the end of the game. The final cutscenes are even more egregious as he is seen wearing armor that the player likely sold a long time ago after upgrading to better suits, especially if you went for the true ending where you get a powered exoskeleton for free (and would have had a hard time surviving the final level without it.)

The exception is, if you should switch out Alastor for Force Edge before Phantom's first appearance, the latter will be seen on his back in the cutscene.

This actually makes even less sense for the character Juarez, a character who carries two valuable, powerful pistols on his person at all times, yet will leave them untouched in their holsters whilst using a far inferior gun throughout the game.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_1ff419c5	comment	Kingdom Hearts II averts this except for one cutscene, immediately prior to the 1000 Heartless fight, which is an FMV as it was simply impossible for the PS2 to render the scene in real-time. On the flip side, the game also demonstrates one of the unintended side effects of averting this trope; occasionally Sora's Keyblade will clip through other objects, characters, or the prongs in his helmet if in Space Paranoids, during cutscenes because you're using a bigger Keyblade than the game expects. While most Drive Forms will be shown in cutscenes if Sora was in one when the cutscene starts, Anti Form will be immediately canceled. As mentioned earlier, Sora wears a helmet in Space Paranoids with two prongs sticking out from the back. Should Stitch be summoned in that world with the cutscene playing, the prongs will clip into the ground when Sora gets knocked down and licked in affection.

Link is shown wielding the Master Sword during the cutscene that occurs partway through the mission, and afterwards will be using the Master Sword for the rest of it. It's harmless, and somewhat justified because the Master Sword's true power awakens in the cutscene, but it's confusing if you had another weapon equippped.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_26674ed5	comment	Cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty will nearly always have Raiden using the SOCOM pistol when he's brandishing a weapon. This game is at least consistent about depicting it with the suppressor if you found and attached it to the gun, but it will still make its normal unsuppressed gunshots if he fires it in a cutscene. Things get especially silly if the player equips the slide-locked, tranquilizer-dart-firing M9 pistol before entering the cutscene, as Raiden will brandish it instead of the SOCOM but otherwise use it like it is the SOCOM, complete with firing loudly and semi-automatically at, and drawing blood from, the otherwise invincible Vamp on two separate occasionsnote the Substance rerelease seems to have fixed the first case, but not the second. In one instance before getting the SOCOM, though - namely, the cutscene in which Raiden is introduced to Vamp and gets the SOCOM - the game goes out of its way to properly depict whether you're using the M9 or not: if you don't have it equipped or missed it entirely, Raiden will enter the room without a weapon in his hands (the M9 shoved in his holster if you have it), and if you do have it equipped, Raiden enters the room with entirely different animations showing him checking his corners with the gun.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: Oddly inverted in Tales of Vesperia. During the game, there are cutscene flashbacks to previous in-game events. However, the characters in the cutscene will always be wearing their current costumes, rather than the outfits they were wearing at the time of the event. (Considering some of the costume titles, it can end up looking like the characters' memories are rather. . . flawed, to say the least.) Thankfully, it was fixed in later Updated Re Release of the game. It does have a few straight examples. Usually the game would do its best to show current equipment, but the more action-packed cutscenes are pre-rendered (and some are outright 2D animation). Those will always show Yuri with his default outfit and "official" weapon. The problem being, said weapon is a katana, there are very few katanas in the game, and by the time you get your hands on one you'll have passed a number of those cutscenes already. In Tales of Symphonia, the characters will typically wield their basic starting weapons in cutscenes. However, Lloyd will switch to a generic steel sword instead of his starting wooden swords when you get to the first town where you can buy a set, even if you didn't actually buy one much less equip itnote And since you get a title for keeping the wooden swords equipped until a certain boss battle well after this point, you're pretty likely to see this in action.. And after he receives them, he will use his Sword of Plot Advancement, the Material Blades. Again, regardless of what he's actually got equipped. If Colette is wearing an alternate costume during the scene where she suffers Clothing Damage (when she Takes The Bullet from a dying Forcystus and her scale-covered arm is revealed), she will switch to her default outfit the instant it happens. It almost looks like she is losing a power-up, like Mario. An odd example occurs in the sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, where Emil will always use a sword that you can only obtain halfway through the game.

The state of the former two depends on player decisions, meaning that the cutscene depiction will sometimes be correct. The change in the latter is a mandatory element of the plot and involves a major haircut and dress retailoring.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_3de84fce	comment	Generally averted in World of Warcraft; the Cataclysm expansion released in December 2010 contains many cutscenes, and those that depict your character show you dressed exactly as you are. However, it's still worth mentioning because of one time they averted this trope but shouldn't have. In the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, a couple quests involved time traveling and teaming up with yourself from other time periods. In the first quest, available at level 75, you teamed up with your "future self" — a friendly NPC is created that looks identical to you right then, but is level 80. In the second quest, available at level 80, you teamed up with your "past self" — a friendly NPC is created that looks identical to you but was level 75. This is bizarre because it would have made far more sense for the NPC in the first quest to look like you in certain epic armor sets, and the NPC in the second quest to look like you did when you did the first quest (especially if you have since acquired armor a Level 75 character cannot equip), but for some reason they didn't bother with that level of complexity.

On the other hand, it's completely averted with your clothes. It really puts a whole new spin on the game when you're gangbanging in a Santa Claus outfit, chains, and sunglasses. The loading screens for Saints Row 2 take this further, showing still scenes from the cutscenes surrounding the most recently-played mission, with a default (male) character in a wife-beater instead of the player's custom character. In Saints Row: The Third, one of the Brute takedown moves has the boss pull out the .45 Shepherd regardless of what pistol you actually have equipped (although let's be honest, especially if you have the explosive rounds upgrade, it probably is the .45 Shepherd).

An odd variant of this trope applying to people is in the final FMV of VII, where Vincent and Yuffie never show up, even if you beat Sephiroth with them. This is because both of them are optional party members, so accounting for all the possibilities would require four versions of the same cutscene. Later material, like the opening of the aforementioned Dirge of Cerberus, would establish they were canonically elsewhere at the time handling last-minute evacuations from underneath Meteor.

Those photos and still images will have the child in their default outfit (or their only red outfit for Christmas) and default hairstyle, with the only possible difference being whether the scene is depicting Klaus, the male child option, or Karin, the female child option. Some cases downplay this by having the child change into the right outfit just before the event. It can still be jarring if the player has used the comb to change the child's hairstyle, or if the right outfit is out of circulation because it needs mending, which in normal gameplay prevents the player from choosing to dress the child in that outfit.

Five troopers are shown boarding the Sky Ranger in the opening sequence, but only four are available for the mission, and they aren't even the same characters as the cutscene. Every other cutscene involving XCOM troopers averts this, however, including your first psi trooper, and in the expansion, first gene and MEC troopers. The Volunteer is also determined by the engine, and s/he is wearing whatever customization you give him/her. This extends to the ending cutscene of the final mission, which not only uses your choice of the Volunteer, but also shows your top three soldiers as the Volunteer urges them to leave him/her behind.

The only times it's played straight are in the opening cutscene, since the devs didn't take New Game Plus into account, he's still in the classic suit until he jumps out the window, the ending chapter's cutscenes, where it switches you into the Advanced suit and the cutscene is pre-rendered to explain why the Anti-Ock Suit is based on its design, and a cutscene after Spider-Man cures himself of the effects of Scorpion's venom, where his mask (because he's for some reason only in his boxers otherwise) is still from the Classic/Advanced Suit, which then becomes an unlockable outfit in itself when you 100% the game.

Even worse, the game actually changes your equipped handgun to the Repeater during this cutscene, forcing you to go into the menu to change it back once you regain control. While this would normally be just a minor annoyance, the cutscene immediately throws you right into dialogue with the Undying King, and if you refuse his offer, he becomes an Optional Boss. If you decide to fight him without realizing your weapon has been changed, you'll suddenly find yourself at a huge disadvantage. Even if you manage to re-equip your usual handgun fast enough to avoid an ass-beating, its weapon mod will be completely drained of charge due to it having been unequipped.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil: The first three games would avoid the trope by always having the player character shown with whatever weapon they're equipped with as well as any alternate outfits you have them wear. This is not the case in CG cutscenes where the characters are always shown in their default outfits. Resident Evil 4 has Leon always wielding his trusty handgun in the cutscenes, even though you can sell it whenever you please. There's also one cutscene in Ada's bonus "Separate Ways" mode that shows Leon going to town on Ganados with a TMP, even though you can completely skip buying the gun. In the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4, being pre-rendered CGI, Leon is always wearing his default costume in cutscenes as well. In the Wii version, Leon retains the tactical vest and the bonus RPD uniform in cutscenes, but not the mobster suit. Much the same goes for Resident Evil 5. The armor items show up as part of the characters' models, but Sheva and Chris will always hold and use the Beretta 92 pistols they start the game with in cutscenes. Resident Evil 2 (Remake) will always show the player character's weapons that are holstered. If the character has to draw a weapon in a cutscene, they'll always use their starter pistol, even if it's in an item box. Said pistols will also be rendered in their basic form, even if you added upgrades. Resident Evil 3 (Remake) will have Jill using her pistol, grenade launcher, and knife in a few cutscenes, even if they are in an item box. Jill will also fire her weapons in said scenes even if you have no ammo for them. Likewise, Carlos will always be shown wielding his assault rifle regardless of whether he has it on him or not.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: Metal Gear Solid: Even if you found and equipped the SOCOM suppressor, Snake doesn't use it when he mercy kills Sniper Wolf, though admittedly this was intentional as to not completely ruin the impact of the scene with a dulled "pop" instead of an echoing "bang." Other cutscenes in the original game are a crapshoot as to whether the SOCOM will be suppressed or not, while cutscenes in The Twin Snakes will always have it appear without. There was one aversion in regards to the SOCOM, however, which significantly affected what sort of equipment you could get within the first few minutes - if you picked up the SOCOM in the truck at the helipad, one of the rooms in the tank hangar held thermal goggles, and later after you talk with the DARPA chief, Snake has the pistol in the cutscene encounter with disguised Meryl. If you missed the first SOCOM, the thermal goggles were replaced by a second SOCOM, and the goggles themselves would not be available for some time. If you missed that one, then in the above cutscene Snake has no gun at all until one literally spawns at his feet for no particular reason during the first forced combat section. Cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty will nearly always have Raiden using the SOCOM pistol when he's brandishing a weapon. This game is at least consistent about depicting it with the suppressor if you found and attached it to the gun, but it will still make its normal unsuppressed gunshots if he fires it in a cutscene. Things get especially silly if the player equips the slide-locked, tranquilizer-dart-firing M9 pistol before entering the cutscene, as Raiden will brandish it instead of the SOCOM but otherwise use it like it is the SOCOM, complete with firing loudly and semi-automatically at, and drawing blood from, the otherwise invincible Vamp on two separate occasionsnote the Substance rerelease seems to have fixed the first case, but not the second. In one instance before getting the SOCOM, though - namely, the cutscene in which Raiden is introduced to Vamp and gets the SOCOM - the game goes out of its way to properly depict whether you're using the M9 or not: if you don't have it equipped or missed it entirely, Raiden will enter the room without a weapon in his hands (the M9 shoved in his holster if you have it), and if you do have it equipped, Raiden enters the room with entirely different animations showing him checking his corners with the gun. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Snake will usually keep whatever outfit or face-paint he has on in the following cutscene. This does not extend to his weaponry, however, as he'll usually just sport the M1911; at the very least, like MGS2, the game will actually depict it with a suppressor attached if you have one on it. Same for the tranquilizer gun in cutscenes from the prologue Virtuous Mission, though in the one occasion where he fires it in a cutscene it sounds loud regardless (though, since the cutscene is made with him using that pistol in mind, he only fires it one time without somehow turning it into a semi-automatic weapon). Notably, the few other weapons he uses in cutscenes (namely, the SVD and the RPG-7 in specific cutscenes during the endgame) are actually given to the player if they hadn't already acquired them at that stage, as they are required for the sections immediately following when he uses them. This can be Hand Waved as the two weapons having been inside the sidecar of EVA's bike, right next to the endless piles of ammo for the chase sequence before then. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots follows suit, showing whatever Octo-Camo or Face-Camo textures Snake was wearing in the cutscenes (and even letting you erase them mid-cutscene by shaking the controller), but always showing him brandishing either the Operator pistol he gets five minutes into the game or the M4 Custom rifle he acquires a while after that. All cutscenes that play before intense combat such as a boss battle have the cutscene transition into the gameplay, usually with a close-up on Snake that pans to an over-the-shoulder shot, where his health bar and such appear. While the transition is seamless and looks really nice, the game will automatically place the Operator or M4 into Snake's active inventory if they aren't already there, swapping them out with other guns, which can get really annoying if you suddenly lose a gun you need or prefer over those two. This means when you gain control, you immediately have to go into the Weapons menu and reselect it, which kind of takes away the cool factor of the transition. The cutscenes also don't reflect the player's weapon modifications except during those transitions, so Snake will have a completely unmodified M4 in his hands during a regular cutscene, then in the camera angle change between that and the transition-into-gameplay, that M4 can suddenly sprout a big-ass scope on top, a silencer at the end of the barrel, a flashlight and laser sight on the left and right sides of it, and a shotgun underneath. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has Big Boss or members of his private army begin every boss battle by pointing the M16 rifle that you probably stopped using within 20 missions of the beginning at the enemy vehicle. Even if it's a giant tank the size of the shuttle transporter that said M16 wouldn't do a thing to. At the end of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Big Boss pulls out an MRS-4 carbine to combat the XOF unit as they destroy Mother Base. This is the rifle he starts with on Normal, albeit in the cutscene, the ingame suppressor and flashlight are not present. Of course, on Hard he starts with only a tranquiliser pistol with two magazines and on subsequent playthroughs of each mission, regardless of difficulty, the player can swap out their default weapons for unlocked equipment. During the cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Snake inevitably pulls out an AM D114, even if he only has a tranq pistol in his inventory.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_5f71a70b	comment	Xenoblade Chronicles: Averted in Xenoblade Chronicles X, with the odd exception of some characters occasionally pulling out a "Murder Pistol" like in Mass Effect to shoot or even just threaten others. This pistol, used by both Non Player Characters and party members, however is not obtainable by the player and is never seen otherwise. In one particular example, the player defeats a powerful monster, only to be confronted by its babies. The player, having possibly run into this very situation before (and possibly learned a hard lesson from it) can choose to kill them, and if they do, their character will aim at them with their normal weapon, only for another party member to stop them and shoot them himself with the Murder Pistol. Averted in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, up to a point. For most of the game, it's pretty good about it - the Blade characters have equipped in cutscenes is their plot-relevant partner they won't drop anyway, which of Pyra or Mythra you have equipped at a time isn't a big deal because the two can hot-swap at will, and Rex has a plot-enforced partner whose weapons are shown when his primary is unavailable for plot reasons. However, all bets are off as of chapter seven's climax, as Nia's ability to switch modes and Rex's Master Driver abilities mean reality might not reflect cutscenes still following these rules. New Game Plus also removes many of the restrictions cutscenes rely on to make sense, but this is hardly the most canon-violating thing one can do in NG+, and Word of God admits these perks are impossible to reconcile with the plot (let alone presentation) anyway. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 handles cutscenes a few different ways. Some correctly show the party's current outfit and class weapon, some use their current outfit but use their default weapon, and some revert both outfit and weapon the that characters' default class. It's not as jarring as many examples though, as the game is in love with Gameplay and Story Integration and the ability to change weapons and class-based overclothes on the fly is an in-universe phenomenon. The game also dodges involving classes (and horrific clipping issues) during camp scenes entirely but having the characters shed their class-based overclothes completely.

While it is possible that a heavy steel face-covering helmet would be removed for ease of communication, it does not make sense for a mage's or a priest's headwear to be removed. The game never shows the characters taking off or putting on the headgear. In most cutscenes that involve attacking/killing someone, the character will use a generic dagger instead of their equipped weapon, regardless of their class or standard weapon of choice. The two exceptions are if you choose to execute Loghain and when you kill the Archdemon, which both show you using a generic greatsword—in the latter case, it's at least shown that the character picks it up right then and there on the battlefield, but in the former, there's no explanation given for why, say, a low-Strength rogue or mage is suddenly wielding this huge blade.

This is fine in Official Mode where you're playing through the anime storylines and required to use specific mobile suits, but Mission Mode will play the cutscene even if you're piloting something else. Dynasty Warriors 8 will have some cutscenes in the campaign modes involving the player's chosen character, often in a prelude to battle or starting the scenario In Medias Res, and will always show them with their iconic third-tier weapon no matter what equipment you give them personally in the preparation screen. This can get jarring when a character will be animated in the cutscene charging into battle with a gigantic sword...only for their weapon to instantly shrink down to a basic starting blade when the player takes control, or worse yet, not even be present, as it is possible to choose to not equip a character with their signature weapon at all.

An early instance is in the opening level, "Pyrrhic Victory", in which Mason pulls out a Hi-Power pistol to threaten Menendez and ultimately shoot out his eye, in spite of the fact that the Hi-Power is never used by any enemies he could have conceivably grabbed one off of and isn't available for the player's loadout until three missions later. Another one is halfway through "Achille's Veil", the first half of which is played as deep-cover agent Farid instead of primary protagonist David Mason; when the latter shows up in the cutscene bisecting the level, he has an MP7 in his hands, which like the above is not available until the next mission - when control shifts to him here, he takes whatever Farid had, even stuff like the suit of optical camo.

When Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora, it reverts to being the Kingdom Key, no matter what shape it was before. Justified in-universe as the Kingdom Key is the base form of the Keyblade. The keychains are what transforms it, and Sora still has those. This also applies in the endgame for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] when Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora again (but for different reasons). No matter what keychain Sora was using at the moment of his eternal slumber, he'll always be using the Kingdom Key as the Post-Final Boss, and it remains this way when Riku uses it to revive Sora and return to the awakened world.

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, there exists a single prerendered cutscene, while other cutscenes are rendered in real-time. This cutscene is at the very end of the game, and shows Link and Tetra being picked up by Tetra's pirate crew after the final battle. The game also has a second quest, in which Link does not wear his signature green tunic. Instead Link only wears his Outset Island "pajamas" through the course of the game. However, at the prerendered cutscene mentioned earlier, Link is seen wearing his green tunic. As the game was being rushed to meet the deadline, the developers probably did not render an alternate cutscene for Link wearing the invisible clothes. It is also possible that this is intentional, as one theory suggests that the clothes are visible because Link has been deemed a true hero, and is worthy of being able to see the clothes. Additionally, depending on the scene, Link may or may not have his equipped weapon and Hero's Charm mask due to the way the game is programmed. Taken a step further via plot-induced glitch in Hyrule Warriors in the story mission "A War of Spirit" if you play as Link (other characters are usable in Free Mode) equipped with any weapon other than the Master Sword, (Epona, the Magic Rod, the Gauntlets, etc.). Link is shown wielding the Master Sword during the cutscene that occurs partway through the mission, and afterwards will be using the Master Sword for the rest of it. It's harmless, and somewhat justified because the Master Sword's true power awakens in the cutscene, but it's confusing if you had another weapon equippped. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity usually averts this (to potentially hilarious results) but in the cutscene where Link's sword gets broken, it's always a Soldier's Broadsword.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: You will always be carrying an assault rifle during cutscenes in Halo: Combat Evolved, no matter what weapon you had beforehand. Later games only ever change what weapon takes the place of what you're using, such as the battle rifle in Halo 2 and the silenced submachine gun in Halo 3: ODST. The first game at least does seem to try to avert this by starting you with an assault rifle in almost every level, but then also ends up having the most jarring example of the trope in the "Two Betrayals" level, where his cutscene assault rifle suddenly morphs into a shotgun and plasma pistol in gameplay. In Halo: Reach your armor is completely customizable, but you will always be wielding either an Assault Rifle, DMR, or Pistol during cutscenes; at the very least, the game will always actually start you with what the cutscene showed you carrying, and mid-mission cutscenes will reflect whatever you're actually carrying. Armor-wise, it's also partially enforced by the game hiding Armor Effects during the cutscenes, since poignant moments would be ruined by showing your head be on fire during them.

This is the rifle he starts with on Normal, albeit in the cutscene, the ingame suppressor and flashlight are not present. Of course, on Hard he starts with only a tranquiliser pistol with two magazines and on subsequent playthroughs of each mission, regardless of difficulty, the player can swap out their default weapons for unlocked equipment.

Yet they will still pull out a pre-scripted gun during cutscenes, even if they don't carry that type. Most noticeably, everyone will use assault rifles in the final mission cutscenes. On the other hand, if the cutscene script calls for a weapon type the character does carry, they will use the weapon model they have equipped, but it will still behave like the default weapon of that type. For example, characters will fire the semi-automatic Mattock rifle on full auto or the Phalanx much faster than its actual firing rate.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_7668653b	comment	Mass Effect 3: Characters will routinely wield an Avenger assault rifle or a Predator pistol, regardless of what weapons they were equipped with before a mission (or even if they are able to equip that weapon class). Shepard can be carrying five weapons on his/her back during the Grissom Academy mission, yet s/he fires on a heavy mech with an Avenger that magically appears from nowhere if it's not one of those weapons. James routinely carries a pistol in cutscenes, even though he's a heavy weapons expert and can only use rifles and shotguns in gameplay. The game sometimes replaces your weapons with the same weapons, as Shepard might holster his/her Avenger rifle to pull out a completely different Avenger rifle. Interestingly enough, weapon mods do carry over into cutscenes, so long as those weapons are the Avenger rifle and Predator pistol. Any gun larger than an SMG is holstered above the shoulder like an Assault rifle and then clip to where they should be. While it only looks slightly uncanny when you're carrying a sniper rifle, it is very hard to miss when you're carrying a shotgun, which is normally holstered across the waist. Bioware attempted to fix the "no helmets in cutscenes" issue that plagued 2, but it looks even more goofy in the third game. Helmets magically disappear in cutscenes - in the Attican Traverse: Krogan Team mission, Shepard and company can be running down a tunnel in full armor, yet his/her helmet inexplicably disappears as s/he rounds a corner. This can even extend to squadmates - in the Extended Cut evacuation scene, while talking to Shepard, Garrus' helmet magically disappears and reappears in different shots. And then there's the weirdness that can ensue where Shepard kisses a romanced Jack through an N7 full-face breather helmet because that's a conversation option, not a cutscene (although you can switch it to "Off In Conversations" if you like). In the Leviathan DLC, the developers attempted to avert this by letting Shepard and squadmates actually use their equipped weapon to fire at an Artifact. However, due to the great variety of ammunition at that point, it can happen that the weapon doesn't seem to fire at all, and still blast the artifact into pieces, fire more times than it has shots, or shotguns unleashing a full-auto spread, when they don't normally operate that way! When you get roasted by Harbinger at the end, your charred and wrecked armour will be designed after the standard N-7 armour or a related suit like the Blood Dragon, even if you're wearing the various DLC armours that are structured differently. In addition, you will automatically be equipped with an unlimited-ammo Carnifex pistol even if you didn't bring a pistol at all, although given the state your armour's in, expecting your weapons to be usable might be asking a bit much.

The game already all but ensures this by only bringing four weapons over for the pre-rendered cutscenes (the Desert Eagle, the Mossberg, the AK and the M4), but it goes above and beyond by not even keeping which rifle Fiddy is using in the cutscene consistent - literally every other time the camera angle changes, his rifle will switch from an AK into an M4 or vice-versa.

However, Lloyd will switch to a generic steel sword instead of his starting wooden swords when you get to the first town where you can buy a set, even if you didn't actually buy one much less equip itnote And since you get a title for keeping the wooden swords equipped until a certain boss battle well after this point, you're pretty likely to see this in action.. And after he receives them, he will use his Sword of Plot Advancement, the Material Blades. Again, regardless of what he's actually got equipped. If Colette is wearing an alternate costume during the scene where she suffers Clothing Damage (when she Takes The Bullet from a dying Forcystus and her scale-covered arm is revealed), she will switch to her default outfit the instant it happens. It almost looks like she is losing a power-up, like Mario.

This is less of an issue with Smugglers and Bounty Hunters, who use blaster pistols in both gameplay and cutscenes, and the Force-wielding classes, who get to use their iconic lightsabers (or Force Lightning, in the Sith Inquisitor's case) for everything.

Wii, Mario and Luigi (and the Toads in the latter game) are always Super Mario/Luigi/whoever in the ending cut scenes after beating Bowser (and in the latter, always Super Mario/Luigi/whoever in the credits mini game), despite whatever power up you're using at the time. You also begin the latter game's gameplay without the Super form, even though the player characters all don't actually lose it in the opening unlike the original New Super Mario Bros.. Super Mario Bros. 3 actively shows Mario turning to Super Mario between beating Bowser and entering the Princess' room. Also, in Super Mario Advance 4, when you continue playing after beating Bowser, Mario will start as Super Mario. In the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros., a Super Mushroom will drop out of the sky if you beat Bowser while small to ensure that Mario (or Luigi) is Super for the end cutscene. However, the cutscene will not reflect it if you had a Fire Flower. Super Mario Sunshine: When Mario returns to Delfino Plaza after defeating Bowser, an "X" graffiti can be seen on the side of one of the buildings during a cutscene, regardless of whether he cleaned it off during the course of the game.

Despite this being a major plot point, outside of battle the girls are always wearing the clothes of their default dressphere (Gunner for Yuna, Thief for Rikku, Warrior for Paine), and in cutscenes where they pull out a weapon or in minigames where they have to use their weapons, they'll always use their default dressphere's weapon, even if you changed their dressphere as soon as you were able and never went back to the default one. It gets a bit silly if, for example, you've spent the entire game training Yuna as a sword-wielding Warrior or Dark Knight, but in cutscenes she continually insists on pulling out a gun, a weapon she has almost no experience using and has learned no skills for, as her first response to trouble.

For most of the game, it's pretty good about it - the Blade characters have equipped in cutscenes is their plot-relevant partner they won't drop anyway, which of Pyra or Mythra you have equipped at a time isn't a big deal because the two can hot-swap at will, and Rex has a plot-enforced partner whose weapons are shown when his primary is unavailable for plot reasons. However, all bets are off as of chapter seven's climax, as Nia's ability to switch modes and Rex's Master Driver abilities mean reality might not reflect cutscenes still following these rules. New Game Plus also removes many of the restrictions cutscenes rely on to make sense, but this is hardly the most canon-violating thing one can do in NG+, and Word of God admits these perks are impossible to reconcile with the plot (let alone presentation) anyway.

Some correctly show the party's current outfit and class weapon, some use their current outfit but use their default weapon, and some revert both outfit and weapon the that characters' default class. It's not as jarring as many examples though, as the game is in love with Gameplay and Story Integration and the ability to change weapons and class-based overclothes on the fly is an in-universe phenomenon. The game also dodges involving classes (and horrific clipping issues) during camp scenes entirely but having the characters shed their class-based overclothes completely.

This pistol, used by both Non Player Characters and party members, however is not obtainable by the player and is never seen otherwise. In one particular example, the player defeats a powerful monster, only to be confronted by its babies. The player, having possibly run into this very situation before (and possibly learned a hard lesson from it) can choose to kill them, and if they do, their character will aim at them with their normal weapon, only for another party member to stop them and shoot them himself with the Murder Pistol.

He even does so on Mission 6 ("Crash and Grab"), even though it is physically impossible to use the M416 on Mission 6. The sequel proved to be a repeat offender, with cutscenes always showing Marlowe carrying the squad's new signature XM8 assault rifle. Without the ACOG scope present on it when you start actually playing as him in "Cold War", at that. The one exception is the start of "No One Gets Left Behind", where Marlowe drops everything when falling out of a helicopter... only to then pull out a pistol you've only been forced to use once before and due to weapons crates may never have used since.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_959e6cb	comment	In Dragon Quest IX, you choose your hero's gender and looks, and so everyone's character will look different. Late in the story there is an animated cutscene involving your hero riding a dragon. To reconcile this, the game forces you to wear a certain armour and helmet before riding a dragon, and this armour completely covers your hero's/heroine's face and body. What's more, the game forces you to leave all of your (also-custom) teammates behind for this scene, apparently just to avoid having to avoid explaining why they're not on the dragon too. Also, the first such scene shows bits of the hero's default outfit and the people in the series of events following the event make a big deal of the hero's outfit. Not normally an issue (you can't get anything else by then), except you can unequip it. One earlier scene (in-engine) refuses to progress until you get dressed, so it isn't clear why they didn't do it for this one as well.

The exception is, if you should switch out Alastor for Force Edge before Phantom's first appearance, the latter will be seen on his back in the cutscene. No matter which weapons you bring with you on missions in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Dante will always be using Rebellion and his pistols in cutscenes. Outside of the cutscenes in which he acquires new weapons, the only other time he uses something different is one time he uses Cerberus as a grappling hook.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_9ef055f4	comment	When the Ratchet & Clank games started using prerendered cutscenes starting in Tools of Destruction, Ratchet always switched to some generic armor for cutscenes. In A Crack in Time, the developers worked around this by giving Ratchet an upgradeable Hard Light armor suit that was simply turned off during cutscenes. Another example occurs in Going Commando: Ratchet always uses the Heavy Lancer in cutscenes, even if you haven't upgraded the regular Lancer yet. (Though since it's your go-to Boring, but Practical weapon throughout the game, you basically have to try to not have it upgraded by that point, but still...)

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_a2dee471	comment	In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, there exists a single prerendered cutscene, while other cutscenes are rendered in real-time. This cutscene is at the very end of the game, and shows Link and Tetra being picked up by Tetra's pirate crew after the final battle. The game also has a second quest, in which Link does not wear his signature green tunic. Instead Link only wears his Outset Island "pajamas" through the course of the game. However, at the prerendered cutscene mentioned earlier, Link is seen wearing his green tunic. As the game was being rushed to meet the deadline, the developers probably did not render an alternate cutscene for Link wearing the invisible clothes. It is also possible that this is intentional, as one theory suggests that the clothes are visible because Link has been deemed a true hero, and is worthy of being able to see the clothes. Additionally, depending on the scene, Link may or may not have his equipped weapon and Hero's Charm mask due to the way the game is programmed.

Other cutscenes in the original game are a crapshoot as to whether the SOCOM will be suppressed or not, while cutscenes in The Twin Snakes will always have it appear without. There was one aversion in regards to the SOCOM, however, which significantly affected what sort of equipment you could get within the first few minutes - if you picked up the SOCOM in the truck at the helipad, one of the rooms in the tank hangar held thermal goggles, and later after you talk with the DARPA chief, Snake has the pistol in the cutscene encounter with disguised Meryl. If you missed the first SOCOM, the thermal goggles were replaced by a second SOCOM, and the goggles themselves would not be available for some time. If you missed that one, then in the above cutscene Snake has no gun at all until one literally spawns at his feet for no particular reason during the first forced combat section.

Where this gets strange is that in A2's story, she starts using 2B's sword in cutscenes after 2B dies due to the latter giving it to her, but you can still have 9S using 2B's sword in sections occurring simultaneously.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII works around this by making starting weapons unsellable. An odd variant of this trope applying to people is in the final FMV of VII, where Vincent and Yuffie never show up, even if you beat Sephiroth with them. This is because both of them are optional party members, so accounting for all the possibilities would require four versions of the same cutscene. Later material, like the opening of the aforementioned Dirge of Cerberus, would establish they were canonically elsewhere at the time handling last-minute evacuations from underneath Meteor. Dirge of Cerberus has Vincent using the vanilla Cerberus pistol (how "vanilla" a triple-barreled revolver is is relative) in cutscenes, no matter how pimped out you have it, or if you were using the machine gun or rifle a second ago. Avoided in cutscenes where Vincent is in his Chaos form and using Death Penalty, though this is more by accident as the player has no choice in the matter of armament in this form. Final Fantasy VIII's Squall is always shown with his Revolver model gunblade, regardless of your current gunblade model. In Final Fantasy XIII, equipment changes only ever appear in battle. Mostly averted in Final Fantasy XIII-2. When cutscenes involve weapons, the characters are always holding exactly the ones they have equipped. When the cutscenes don't involve weapons, however, Noel's blades, which are usually sheathed on his back while running in the field, sometimes seem to mysteriously disappear altogether. Serah's weapon simply turns into Mog outside of combat, so for her it's not this trope. It also happens in Final Fantasy X, but for one scene only: The group shot as the team enters Zanarkand has the team put their weapons together. This will show default weapons and the Brotherhood, regardless of what is equipped. Why? The scene is actually the first scene of the game, and everything leading up to it is How We Got Here, so the game literally can't know what you'll have equipped when you catch up. It's otherwise averted; the FMV scenes typically don't show weapons—and one of the few that does, Auron's introduction, takes place before he's a party member, so he can't have anything but his default weapon. Most of the other scenes use the in-game engine, and use what you have equipped. In Final Fantasy X-2, different dresspheres change the characters' outfits and abilities. Despite this being a major plot point, outside of battle the girls are always wearing the clothes of their default dressphere (Gunner for Yuna, Thief for Rikku, Warrior for Paine), and in cutscenes where they pull out a weapon or in minigames where they have to use their weapons, they'll always use their default dressphere's weapon, even if you changed their dressphere as soon as you were able and never went back to the default one. It gets a bit silly if, for example, you've spent the entire game training Yuna as a sword-wielding Warrior or Dark Knight, but in cutscenes she continually insists on pulling out a gun, a weapon she has almost no experience using and has learned no skills for, as her first response to trouble. Final Fantasy XV averts this for the most part, where the majority of the cutscenes are rendered in real time. The only times this doesn't happen are in the ending chapter, where Noctis is changed into his suit automatically by the game and in the alternate ending to Episode Ignis, where they're in their royal outfits. Both instances are where the cutscenes are pre-rendered.

Special costumes aren't shown in cutscenes and the Blades of Chaos/Athena, despite changing their appearance with each power up, are always shown to be at level 2/1/3 (in the first game) and 4 in the second. However, the third and fourth game subvert all of this, with all the special costumes displayed in the game mode. Also, Kratos' new weapon (the Blades of Exile, Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos) and armor never change their appearance. God of War II is an example of this; regardless of how far you have upgraded the Blades of Athena, in cutscenes, they almost always appear as dull and gray (as if you never upgraded them at all) and sometimes even blue (as if Kratos is still the god of war).

This does not extend to his weaponry, however, as he'll usually just sport the M1911; at the very least, like MGS2, the game will actually depict it with a suppressor attached if you have one on it. Same for the tranquilizer gun in cutscenes from the prologue Virtuous Mission, though in the one occasion where he fires it in a cutscene it sounds loud regardless (though, since the cutscene is made with him using that pistol in mind, he only fires it one time without somehow turning it into a semi-automatic weapon). Notably, the few other weapons he uses in cutscenes (namely, the SVD and the RPG-7 in specific cutscenes during the endgame) are actually given to the player if they hadn't already acquired them at that stage, as they are required for the sections immediately following when he uses them. This can be Hand Waved as the two weapons having been inside the sidecar of EVA's bike, right next to the endless piles of ammo for the chase sequence before then.

The only way this is even touched on is with the Rose Nasty, the last weapon in Desperate Struggle, which unlike all of the other weapons in the series, requires Travis to Dual Wield. Since the cutscenes are all scripted with Travis using one sword, the off-hand sword will disappear if Travis is using the Rose Nasty during a cutscene.

The sequel subverts this by simply not rendering anyone else than necessary. In fact, in one cutscene, Captain America and Iron Man are seen stepping out of a teleporter with four androgynous forms behind them (your team).

No matter what weapon you have equipped, Aya is always shown with a handgun outside of battles. The sequel mostly avoid the trope, though falls into different issues due to the animations usually still assuming she's always using a handgun. In game cut scenes that show Aya pointing her weapon at someone or something will have her use whatever weapon she has equipped, which can lead to a hilarious moment in the start of the tower mall section where Aya steps out of the elevator and aims a billy club or Gunblade around like a handgun. In an FMV, she will always use her handgun, regardless if you have it on you or not.

In game scenes keep the armor on though, leading to continuity problems in X7 and X8 which go from in game to animated during the final boss fights. Mega Man Zero games always have Zero with his default red coloration in hand-drawn cutscene images. In the first game this is justified as there's no way to change his appearance, but in the second game and beyond there are a number of different possible colors for Zero to be, due to Forms or Body Chips. In Mega Man ZX Advent, you always turn back to Model A before a cutscene. Even if it is before a boss battle and being in that form wold help you, you always start the fight in Model A.

Zero has an odd variation of this: your standard weapon is a pistol with an attached scope, Laser Sight/flashlight, and suppressor. While in gameplay only the suppressor can be removed, in cutscenes, none of these are on the pistol when it appears.

Except for the last mission, where he finally uses his trademark Oathkeeper/Oblivion combo. Kingdom Hearts II averts this except for one cutscene, immediately prior to the 1000 Heartless fight, which is an FMV as it was simply impossible for the PS2 to render the scene in real-time. On the flip side, the game also demonstrates one of the unintended side effects of averting this trope; occasionally Sora's Keyblade will clip through other objects, characters, or the prongs in his helmet if in Space Paranoids, during cutscenes because you're using a bigger Keyblade than the game expects. While most Drive Forms will be shown in cutscenes if Sora was in one when the cutscene starts, Anti Form will be immediately canceled. As mentioned earlier, Sora wears a helmet in Space Paranoids with two prongs sticking out from the back. Should Stitch be summoned in that world with the cutscene playing, the prongs will clip into the ground when Sora gets knocked down and licked in affection. In Kingdom Hearts this is almost averted. When Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora, it reverts to being the Kingdom Key, no matter what shape it was before. Justified in-universe as the Kingdom Key is the base form of the Keyblade. The keychains are what transforms it, and Sora still has those. This also applies in the endgame for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] when Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora again (but for different reasons). No matter what keychain Sora was using at the moment of his eternal slumber, he'll always be using the Kingdom Key as the Post-Final Boss, and it remains this way when Riku uses it to revive Sora and return to the awakened world. In general, if it's rendered using game models, equipment will show up as whatever you actually have equipped. Presumably because it's impractical to render everything for every Keyblade, though, FMVs will always show you using Kingdom Key.
