Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD." (lemmy.world)

Trope or not, gods just end up being a common target for games about heroes escalating in power while fighting increasingly world-destroying consequences.

So, for each post, name a game and describe it, with the assumption being that every description automatically ends with the phrase:

"...and then it ends with you fighting a god."

Firstly, I feel offended you reduced the giant mecha vs a dragon cinematic to robot vs a doll army :P

Ff9 did the "all powerful god" but it is really a wtf out of no where momement that can feel jarring with the themes of the game - a ludonarrative narrative dissonance, unless I missed some obscure reference to it somewhere

I would argue that ff6 wrote a less jarring "kill a god" fight:

spoiler

Although pulling ideas from christianity, it has a psychopathic clown ascend to godhood, shatter the world and sit a top his "heavenly throne" shooting god rays from the sky on a whim

The fight then is a series of killing his "angels" before finally destroying him and shattering his "heaven"
