* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' starts off with a mysterious girl named Terra working for the empire due to a form of mind control. She has no knowledge of who or what she is. When she gets knocked out in a mission, a treasure hunter named Locke quickly helps protect her. Before long she's helping TheResistance fighting against TheEmpire. The Empire itself poses a threat to the world, but the emperor himself would never go so far as to destroy it, which his seemingly comic-relief jester Kefka goes ahead and does just that. The world now in ruins, the heroes know that they at least have to stop Kefka from destroying all existence since he'd already gone that far.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' starts with a resistance group known as Avalanche fighting against the Shinra MegaCorp just to help improve the lives of the citizens that live in the slums. One thing turns to another and eventually they're fighting a psychotic SuperSoldier who wants to destroy the world.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' starts with a performance troupe putting on a play as a distraction while they kidnap the princess from her domineering mother of a queen. One thing leads to another and soon a weapons merchant is threatening the destruction of not one, but TWO different worlds. [[spoiler:[[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere And then the personification of Death shows up to determine whether the universe itself is worthy of existence.]]]]
* ''VideoGame/XenoGears'' starts off with Fei just living his normal life in a quiet village, devoid of conflict. Then TheEmpire invades and razes the town to the ground, forcing him to defend himself in the heat of the moment. One thing leads to another and then he's fighting against a man-made God to save the world.
