What are some games where you face the previous game's protagonist in a boss fight? Examples I can think of are
>Demi-Fiend in SMT: Digital Devil Saga
>Caim in Drakengard 2
>Richter Castlevania symphony of the night

Disgaea in it's entire lineup features fights against the previous games' protagonists, be it as cameos, story involvement, or the sequel protagonists in remade versions of the older ones.

DMC4 and Prototype 2 do that.
And if skipping a game counts then I guess dark souls 3 does it too.

Invidious embed. Click thumbnail to play. Armored Core: Verdict Day's final boss has you fight someone using the equipment you used in For Answer among the ruins of that game's first boss to a remix of that boss's music. It's a challenge because 4A had a crazy high power level so even the strongest stuff in VD is vastly weaker than 4A's starting stuff.

The "Tales of" series does something similar, with previous games' protagonists or party members showing up for cameo fights in postgame – fought alone, in pairs, or even fought in teams depending on the game (Tales of the Abyss for example had Eternia's Reid, Destiny's Philia, Phantasia's Mint and Destiny 2's Nanaly for a 4v4 showdown). This isn't strictly exclusive to party members though – Vesperia also brought in villains like Dhaos and Barbatos.

Or even Tales specific. See Valkyrie (from Namco's Valkyrie series) being a bonus boss in Tales of Eternia. But obviously such cameo battles aren't really canon with the games the characters hail from. Xillia 2's bad ending though pits Ludger against the rest of his party, which includes the protagonists from Xillia 1, as its final boss fight.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has you fight your Xenoverse 1 character. Persona 5 you can fight the 3 and 4 protagonists as DLC. The version of Nocturne without Dante has you fight Raidou instead.
>>16873268
Also from SOTN you can fight copies of Trevor, Grant, and Sypha. Richter also returns as a boss in Portrait of Ruin.

If I recall it was a shitty copy of whiteglint. The name is N-WGTX which likely stands for Next whiteglint x.The fact that a normal was able to beat even a shitty copy of a next really puts you as topdog as far as pilots go. Then there was the fact the kojima particles were destroying you as the fight was going on.
Shame the game was so crap.

It is definitely the worst in the series but it has a really good story with caim from the first game. I'd argue his story alone would make it worth the play.

Technically you can fight Sonic in a ton of the main Sonic games. But I suppose since you can also play as Sonic in most of them, it doesn't count. Except for Shadow the Hedgehog, I guess. Also then Sonic '06, since you fight Shadow in that.

It's also implied that Scar is a Monolith commander named Charon in the first game. This basically means you may kill the protagonist of the second game in the first one.

That part is what gets me, they decided to drop every conspiracy plot in the first game for some ‘character centered plot’. Too bad the nigger is just an unlikable prick with some story-defying bullshit powers and the fact that you’re up against the last game’s protagonist only made the comparison worse. Every time i play it, i just get the feeling of ‘why am i not Alex?’ or ‘Can i be someone else who is not an emotional retard?’.
God it’s such a waste.

It was made by people who'd had no involvement with the first game and who were more than happy to toss out every single one of the big ideas that had gone into the first game and that would go into Yoko Taro's series as a whole. It's like if right after the first Metal Gear game was made was when Konami decided they were going to fire Hideo Kojima and make Metal Gear: Survive.
