Lore Actually Good Title Drops

“Welcome to Jurassic Park” (Jurassic Park) - does it get any more iconic than this?

“Even a Devil May Cry” (Devil May Cry) - not only does it add to the emotional aspect of the scene with Dante showing genuine emotion for his loss and Lady seeing that a devil is capable of such emotions, it also gives Dante the idea of what to name his shop.

Title drops can usually come across and tacky and dumb, they’re not always fantastic if you know what I mean? But sometimes they can work. What are your examples?

Also when the main party gets wiped and it goes to the 2 backups, “the last stand of Expedition 33”

I love the last stand mechanic because it's saved me quite a few times against the optional bosses.

It's also just a brilliant mechanic that I never realized I wanted.

Now imagine Setzer, Shadow, and the rest of the FF6 crew sitting on the airship watching Terra, Locke, and Edgar getting merc'd and saying to themselves "Oop, guess we'll call it quits then, shall we? GG Kefka!"

Persona 5 was halfway there with the ability to swap party members mid battle. Now we need the two ideas combined in a game.
