It's hilarious when he just shows up at the end out of nowhere. Like in FF9 you go from fighting a Super-Saiyan monkey femboy to suddenly having to defend yourself against the god of apocalyptic destruction, who was just, idk, chilling? Just looked at his watch and was all "oh look at the time, better reduce all of reality to nothingness" and now it's up to Six Year Old Girl, Frog Chef, Monkey Twink, and Large Rat to face down against annihilation itself.
And then in the epilogue it's just cute scenes of the characters doing stuff and living happy lives despite their tragedies and losses. No mention of Death Itself being fought in an epic battle. Just rats on a date and an abundance of black mage children. Which, to be clear, I love, but still, why have Necron there at all?
It's the most explicit in FFX, where the being widely believed to be God is actually an alien parasite that harvests human life by the cityload in order to survive and the church actively aids him in this by being run by a bunch of ghosts and zombies who don't want to give up their power and prestige.
But in most games it's more visual. Kefka becomes godlike because he just kept getting more powerful, Necron represents... something that isn't told to the player, FFXIV has gods that are both allies and enemies and the final boss is a magical creature with godlike powers going through a goth phase.
I like it when they kill god

Often power escalation memes, but occassionally to symbolize the destruction of an existing power structure

When the god is evil you kill them
