The hero of the prophecy saves the day

>The hero of the prophecy saves the day
>The entire world still goes to shit in the sequel

>XCOM
The game knows it's hard as fuck so the sequel is what happens after you lose.

>you are introduced to be the hero of the prophecy
>it was all a lie
>you die and the real hero saves the day

Xcom2 is a alternate universe where instead of testing the Humans they just invade with their entire late game army. I think XCOM got up to laser weapons before the base got btfo

What game?

sorry user but your made up fanfic isn´t canon

>you are the chosen one meant to save the world
>literally can only delay the inevitable
>it requires more people to sacrifice themselves every time
>eventually nobody will volunteer and people will go extinct anyway
>in the end it's all for nothing

>Calamity happens every 1000 years or whatever
>heroes defeat the villain and prevent the disaster
>disrupting the natural order causes something either worse or permenent
i love that shit

>not skipping the laser tier entirely

It was their own fault.

>Final Fantasy X-2
>No Sin
>Wakka was right and Al Bhed really were the cause of all the world's problems

>Villain was actually the hero all along trying to stop a bigger evil
>In the final battle you team up with him

>Hero of the last game is a villain in the new game
>Old villain is a playable character

I know Tekken 2 does this.

>game has a good/evil morality system
>in the end you're still the chosen one hero of justice who saves the world from evil

A game that doesn't exist and never will

>be told that you're the messiah
>do messiah shit
>some other asshole tells you he's the messiah
>kill him
>find out he actually was the messiah and you were a false messiah
>kill God
>God reincarnates and makes you endlessly reincarnate into worlds that are ending as punishment for deicide

>character in a mostly unrelated game in the same series is implied to be a cursed reincarnation of this game's protagonist

Dark Souls

Besides the first line that's literally the real world.

>Protagonist is a ruthless assassin sent from another time with a target whom he must kill, otherwise the world is fucked
>Kills everyone in a certain facility to make it his base of operations
>Finds his target but gets thrown away even further in the past
>Loses his memory and sets on an adventure with a girl he met to restore his memories
>Eventually warms up and restores his memories, but still understands that he must kill his target
>In the end of a long journey, he defeats his target and settles up with a girl in his old base of operations
>One day, some guest from another time appears

It had more plot points, but oh well. I only specified those that were relevant there.

It legit made me shocked.

>Protagonist and partners unite to defeat the big bad
>Heroes defeat the villain in battle
>Villain's plan still goes into effect and the world ends
>Heroes sacrifice themselves to save the world
>Sequel game is another set of heroes (semi-related to the originals) trying to stop the big bad from trying their (successful) plan again.
