Stock Phrase spoken by characters in almost every Role-Playing Game. Generally done just before, well, the Final Boss. Often used to not-so-subtly prod you into knowing that you've reached the Point of No Return and can no longer save. Sometimes this is just a message the game tells you, Breaking the Fourth Wall, while other times the characters will stand around and discuss it amongst themselves. May constitute an Interface Spoiler, though in this case it doesn't spoil much. An Acceptable Break from Reality even if it breaks the Fourth Wall. Sometimes this can be done as a way of trying to hide the Disc-One Final Dungeon. Done well, it can add to the surprise when you find out it wasn't the final battle after all. Done badly, it ends up being a clumsy way of lampshading the fact. |

Not quite the phrase, but in one life of Eternal Darkness you're asked if you want to go down and end the corruption in the church. Cue putting on your best protective enchantments, and facing the guardian of the temple. Who does a One-Hit Kill, barely pausing in arguing with The Dragon to do it. | |

In Final Fantasy VII, the infamous line "Let's mosey!" is spoken just before heading down to the bottom of the Northern Crater. "Move out!" And just before the final battle against Sephiroth begins, Cloud shouts "To the settling of everything!" |

Subverted in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. If you bring Sain along to Chapter 19 in Eliwood's path, he believes that this trope is in effect, as you're facing off against Lord Darin, the Big Bad. Unfortunately for him, Darin is just a Disc-One Final Boss who's a pawn of the Big Bad, and the game is only half over. Eliwood plays it straight at the start of the final chapter, though. | |

Inverted in Fire Emblem: Awakening; this is what you hear before the very first battle. Later, it turns out that this first battle was actually the final battle against one of the main antagonists, in the future you are trying to prevent from happening. The dialogue and circumstances are the same when you fight it in your own timeline, but the context and surroundings are revealed. It is still subverted, since this fight isn't the final boss fight either, although it is much closer. Subverted in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. If you bring Sain along to Chapter 19 in Eliwood's path, he believes that this trope is in effect, as you're facing off against Lord Darin, the Big Bad. Unfortunately for him, Darin is just a Disc-One Final Boss who's a pawn of the Big Bad, and the game is only half over. Eliwood plays it straight at the start of the final chapter, though. |

In Final Fantasy VIII, before entering Ultimecia's chamber Squall pauses to make sure he and his team are ready. If all of the abilities that were locked upon entering the Very Definitely Final Dungeon haven't been unsealed, he observes as much and wonders whether or not they'll be able to win like that. | |
