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.
Legend of dragoon was the first at this for me, but at least it gives it to his twin
That’s more of a big plot surprise than anything else. You don’t lose any of his gear or experience, other than the muscle memory you may have built up learning his attack chains lol.
