not really no
It does remind me of something similar though, since I've been revisiting MOTHER the past couple of days and I was always fond of the backgrounds and the ways they were animated or distorted. In particular I found a video showing a version of the fight with the Masked Man/Claus that used all of the scrapped animated backgrounds and it really added a lot to it; I'm genuinely surprised they didn't use them.
MOTHER only ever really pulled out all the stops with those backgrounds for the final bosses, but it made me wonder if something like that could've worked to help the impact of Chaos, since even if I enjoyed that fight, she does seem to be a point of contention and part of that seems to be how bland she, or at least her 'human' body, looked for most of it. There's no way trtr could've probably done something like this given he was on a time crunch as it was, and I'm not really sure how best to implement something like that either. But if Chaos's face used the blank one that's framed in shadow, her skill descriptions were more unexplained and the backdrop against her changed and twisted over the fight it would really sell her being an unnatural and ungodly powerful being that's on a completely different level from everything else in existence. Hell, have her doing things like crying out for her father or muttering in anger mid-battle too, since he has had conversations interrupting fights before (like Neris intruding on the Nanabi battle). The fact it would ONLY be on that level for Chaos would also add to the impact since it'd stand out a lot more.
Granted, MOTHER's a completely different kind of RPG but given how most people easily blew past Chaos and the 'scripted' portions of her fight that do exist are so easy you'd have to go out of the way to somehow lose, it'd probably go a ways towards helping the emotional impact she's meant to have.
