FFXIII-2 was such trollery
Spoiler
As said before, FFXIII-2 ends with a 'Yay you won! Whoops, rocks fall and everyone dies!', but the final secret ending ends with 'Oh, and the guy you thought you beat, you didn't even truly beat, and he was witnessing everything you did from the start and was ready for it.
Each FF has a sort of commentary on fate. It seems to boil down to 'Fate will happen, everything is destined, but you can determine enough of what you'll be WHEN it happens, that you become part of fate in a way that no entity can truly understand, even 'God'.' Fairly anti-Christian but that's par for the course for Final Fantasy. Even as Serah and Noel fail, their courage prepared the world for not obliteration, but the shepherding to the New World that Lightning is ordered to proceed with in FFXIII: Lightning Returns.
