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.

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

When the god is evil you kill them
