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.

The way they handled Aloy having no gear in HFW was particularly lazy. "Oh yeah I just lost it, guess I now have to grind from the start instead of just buying more"

What games handle that any better? I can't think of any direct sequels that actually do anything that isn't lazy to justify the loss of gear and power, except maybe Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, since it starts at the previous game's level cap
