elaborate about "show up out of nowhere", is it like Necro from FFIX? or like Sephiroth from FFVII out of nowhere did *spoiler*.

I assume they are talking about *spoilers for FF7 disc one*. Sephiroth murdering Aerith.

Mega Man Network Transmission had an unknown guy only named The Professor show up near the end.

And both GameCube Pokmon games had a rich old guy you meet at the beginning that turns out to be the final boss.

Dragon Quest did this before FF did. 3 in particular which dropped two years before FF3.

I'm talking about spending most of the game chasing one villain. Then you get a new villain who was behind everything after all.

Final Fantasy 4. It's where the giant space flea trope comes from.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Can't be 3, then because you don't even know about Xande until about halfway through the lower world portion of the game.

They kind of did it in Lunar. They told you that you had to stop a bad guy called The Magic Emperor and then later on you find out that one of the heroes who has been helping you out is actually The Magic Emperor

Dragon quest II and III did this too iirc.
on DQ II the main villain is an Evil God worshipper, and after you defeat him he sacrificed his live to resurrect the Evil God

Sounds about right. At least, this is the biggest example of "real villain asspull all along!" in that time period.

An evil god worshipper summoning the evil god is very expected and if done near the end, the worshipper would still be the main villain.

there was no clue about the main villain doing the villainous acts for the evil god. the evil god itself were never mentioned in the story at all until the main villain is defeated.
