* Multi-phased
* Inconsistent sequences
* Hybrid
Limitations:
* This is NOT for minigames.
* Although this is NOT for perspective switching, such is often accompanied by the mode change.
* Combat mode, stealth mode, QTEs, overworld, and interludes should be ignored for this in most cases. And anything similar to such.
