If you win a fight that the story demands you lose, the game should give you an achievement and a good-end cutscene and then send you back to the menu
Chrono Trigger spoilers.
I loved when I got to Lavos at the end of the Ocean Palace during New Game+. Instead of Crono getting Thanos snapped by him I popped his shell, and it instantly shoved me into the final boss sequence. And you get the Dev Room ending!spoiler
You get the same thing if you beat Lavos by using the secret portal at the fair at the very beginning of the game in New Game+. It's a pain in the ass to solo the fight as just Crono, though.Believe me, I know. I have legitimately replayed the game over a hundred times. Probably in the multiple hundreds at this point. It's my all time fave.
You have perfect taste
I genuinely think that would be cool. Or like you lose the grand narrative because you never learned a crucial bit of information you only find out about after losing. Either way you winning or losing should matter in an ideal scenario
DMC5 does this, it's great! It even unlocks the next difficulty, just like if you had gotten the normal ending.
(Well, I don't know if there's an achievement, but there is a special cutscene.)
