Which games are the worst offenders for letting you upgrade a character/inventory only to lose it all part way through the game. (alien.top)

I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.

When I played FFVII and leveled Aeris up just for her to.. you know..

I only did one play thru, but did beat Ruby and Emerald weapon. What I didn't do was max out Aeris but apparently it was possible.

At least he's replaced with a new homeboy with the same stats and skills

And there's no benefice doing so. Unlike the Marcus/Eiko bug in FFIX which was at least useful by the end of the game.
