When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.

I'm playing the remake and I'm at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.

Back then I didn't know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.

Blew my mind.

Abstract Daddy is the most blatant. But there is a lot of psychosexual implications in SH2. That early scene with Pyramid Head. All the Nurse enemies can be interpreted as James fantasizing about nurses while his wife was in the hospital. Maria appearing as a 'sexy' version of Mary to tempt him, etc.
