* In [[Skies of Arcadia]], Vyse is split up from his friends, who wind up separately searching for the Treasure Of Daccat. At the end of their quest, they're re-united, and when they're looking inside the big honking treasure chest, all they find is a single gold coin, and a letter which lampshades the lesson, explaining that that Vyse's friends are the true treasure. ...[[Broken Aesop|Also, the single coin has just about the highest selling price of any item in the game.]]
* During Aqua's quest in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'', she ends up with [[Peter Pan]] and his Lost Boys on a quest for treasure. Eventually, it turns out that the treasure map simply led them all on a circle around Neverland to the same space they started--at which point Peter points out that the supposed treasure didn't matter, what ''did'' matter was that the boys pushed themselves to overcome obstacles in order to get to it.
* In the first ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]]'' Akuma's ending is a rather bitter version of this. He has reached the end of his journey to become the absolute best, but upon reaching his goal, he finds himself feeling empty. The final quote of that ending is "For some it's the path not the goal."
