** HotBlooded idealists deserve to be punched in the face occasionally.
** If you've been forced into doing something you don't want to, don't do it straight away and dick around trying to find a way out of it in the meantime.
** Don't worry if you've smacked up your sister's fiancé and emotionally abused your sister out of resentment, everything will all work out in the end after you endure the DespairEventHorizon, gain a magical pony and eventually take down the government.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'':
** If something goes well for you in a seemingly bleak situation, then congratulations! You've just doomed the entirety of time and space.
* ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII'':
** If nearly every world-destroying consequence, every time and space rift, every young woman dying because of their BlessedWithSuck gift of foresight, every LongLostRelative removed from the proper time stream, and granting her own personal life force to a suicidal man that also happens to keep the barrier between the world of the living and dead separated is Etro's fault, then take your frustrations out on Bhunivelze for having to make the best of the situation as he can when he shows up to clean up the mess. Because he can't fulfill your desires perfectly.
** After the aforementioned suicidal man screws up the world beyond all repair and Bhunivelze makes a new one, destroy Bhunivelze and put the suicidal guy and the young woman BlessedWithSuck in charge of a critical task for making sure the new world doesn't get as screwed up as the old. Because there's no way that can go badly.
** The memories and spirits of lost loved ones will only weigh you down, therefore it's best if you are forced to forget about them completely.
** Meta: In order to have the happy ending you've been promising for three games, it's not necessary to actually ''show'' your main characters happy with each other. Sending their spirits off to a new world with a vague implication that they might all be together in some future reincarnation will do just fine.

** [[GodIsEvil The gods are selfish lying bastards]] [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly who are only using their followers]] and will never give them what they really want. [[TheGodsMustBeLazy If said gods can even be bothered to show up in the first place, which a lot of them won't]]. But if you dare tell the arrogant assholes to fuck off and try to solve your problems on your own, the cult will never stop trying to kill you, and their enemies will [[FantasticRacism still want you dead based entirely on your looks]].
** If there exist any deities to whom the above does not apply, expect copious amounts of DestructiveSaviour, PowerIncontinence, and BrainwashedAndCrazy (in both directions!)
** [[BeliefMakesYouStupid Religious people are usually evil murderous lunatics]].
** And if they're REALLY religious, [[MurderIsTheBestSolution you should kill them]], [[MercyKill it's for their own good]]. [[spoiler: [[NotHimself The dude]] who got [[GrandTheftMe possessed]] by the ancient [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[BodySurf body-surfing]] supervillain from the ReligionOfEvil said so, you can trust him completely!]]
** Genocide is wrong [[SpaceWhaleAesop primarily because it increases the risk]] that the race you're trying to exterminate will reach the DespairEventHorizon and unleash a murderous [[MindRape mind-raping]] GodOfEvil in retaliation.
** Poaching is fine if you don't get caught, but poachers who have been labeled as such are AlwaysChaoticEvil and you can slaughter them with total impunity!
** If you have information vital to the defeat of a violent, [[MindRape mind-raping]] evil god about to attack a populated city and subject the residents to death [[FateWorseThanDeath or worse]], feel free to send the people dealing with the threat on a ridiculous series of wild goose chases and pressure them into committing crimes to help you throw a party! You will not suffer any consequences whatsoever for this, not even if innocent people are kidnapped and murdered while you're wasting their allies' time!
* ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'':
** You should be perfectly fine, if not honored, to be ripped away from your world, have your memories screwed around with, and be forced to fight an endless war for a God whose methods you may or may not agree with.
