Line 205:

** In the original ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'', after failing to sacrifice the protagonist's sister in the penultimate Boss Battle, [[The Dragon|Hashmalun]] pulls a [[Heroic Sacrifice|Villainous Sacrifice]] to summon [[Big Bad|Ultima]] (mistranslated "Altima" in the English version), the [[One-Winged Angel|Bloody Angel]].

** [[Final Fantasy XIII-2|XIII-2]] has Caius, whose death by itself causes the end of the world. He possesses the Heart of Chaos, which, when destroyed, destroys the goddess Etro, and basically when ''she'' dies, chaos is released into the world, destroying it. He therefore plans to have Noel kill him in order to achieve this.

* Subverted in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]''. The Boss didn't have any plan of her own past dying, but before the final battle, she ominously states that whoever lives will have to face an endless series of battles and will never obtain peace. This is undoubtedly true, as Big Boss's victory is what sets up the rest of the series.

* ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' has a continuing plot arc involving a family of spirit mediums, so it was really only a matter of time before you found yourself interrogating a channeled spirit whose testimony begins "The plot began with my death."

** While it wasn't exactly intended, because I don't think she planned to be executed, the death of Dahlia Hawthorne did not stop (the continuation of) her [[Evil Plan]], the entirety of which spanned for ''three whole cases''.
