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.

You lose an NPC who can join your party very early in the game to an unavoidable story event. Adding insult to injury, if you do a lot of side quests before progressing the story, you can dump a LOT of xp into them, which is then just...*poof*

If you take back his heart to the temple in Athkatla and get it purified of the geas you get a fuck ton of XP to make up what the character took as part of your party.
