Line 68:
* Arkham from ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'', even though the [[Rivals Team Up|brothers teaming up]] was one of the series' (many) [[Crowning Moment of Awesome Video Games|Crowning Moments Of Awesome]]. Vergil later [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded it]]:
{{quote| Vergil: Well, you don't possibly believe that '''he''' deserves to be our main event, now do you?}}
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]''. Fayt is stranded on a backwater fantasy planet with no way off, and the main conflict is a fairly standard fantasy world war between religious matriarchy Aquaria and hostile, warlike Airyglyph, until {{spoiler|the plot from the beginning catches up to him, and the space fleet that attacked the planet he was previously on comes to the backwater fantasy planet to attack it. The two countries realize they have to join forces, and Airyglyph as a country is revealed to be not that bad.}}
** You could say there was a second [[Conflict Killer]] in 3, but that wasn't the part that was not well-received, and it wasn't really a [[Conflict Killer]] quite so much. {{spoiler|The Vendeeni, the alien race that was attacking Fayt everywhere he went, were only attacking Fayt because Fayt was part of his father's scientific research. The beings that created their world had decided that Fayt's father's research merited the destruction of their part of the universe, and the Vendeeni were trying to save the world, too. Fayt and his party decided that they would go convince the creators, by force if necessary, that their world deserved to continue to exist, which resulted in a [[Rage Against the Heavens]] plot. But the Vendeeni weren't the primary enemy for a long time, and it wasn't the [[Rage Against the Heavens]] plot that pissed people off, but rather the nature of the relationship between the [[SO 3]] characters and their creators. Which is to say, they were characters in MMORPG.}}
* Jie Revorse in ''[[Star Ocean 1]]'' for SNES/SFC. In the PSP remake, this is much better handled and explained and he no longer comes out of nowhere.
Line 80:
* In [[Fire Emblem]] 10 (Radiant Dawn), Part 3 is a war embroiling most of the known world, stopped short by the awakening of a god. It had been foreshadowed since the previous game that such a war would cause this to happen, and comes right in time since the player controls both sides of the old conflict.
* The beginning of ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'', where instead of a normal "Mario defeats Bowser" story, the two rivals join forces to defeat a giant sword.
** All three ''[[Mario
* Early in ''[[Clash at Demonhead]]'', you have an [[Final Boss Preview|inconclusive fight]] with Tom Guycot, the [[Big Bad|apparent boss of the terrorist organization you're trying to defeat]]. About halfway through the game during a seemingly-unimportant sidequest, the player character is [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|tricked into releasing a demon]]. Said demon promptly [[Hopeless Boss Fight|clobbers him]] and kills Guycot, forcing the player to go on a quest for a [[Sword of Plot Advancement|magic sword]] to kill the demon. You'd think the demon would then take over the plot, but in a weird subversion, you just kill it with the sword, {{spoiler|destroy it's eggs,}} then go right back to fighting terrorists. The [[Final Boss]] is [[The Man Behind the Man|the guy who was giving Guycot orders]].
* The first [[Starcraft]] campaign concerns the conflict between [[La Résistance]] and [[The Empire]]. Then the [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Zerg]] show up.
