Solas to be the big bad the whole time, only to find out at the end he's the Dire Wolf himself.

Edited, sorry. I figured this'd be a spoiler thread.

I think they might have met that
it was obvious that the Zero in that game was Brother from Free the Soul....although even that is arguable as to whether it was obvious (I didn't think it was).
My input is the Black Knight from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. In the case of the former, you actually end the game with still no clue as to who he is (although there were a few hints if you payed attention). You don't get the full reveal until the end of RD, although admittedly that game made it fairly obvious about halfway through as to who he was.

The anagrams and stuff they littered throughout the game to hint at it were pretty crazy.
Yakuza 2
Terada who was meant to be dead at the beginning of the game comes back as one of the final bosses working with some of the traitors in the Omi Alliance and the Korean mafia to blow up the Tojo Clan and Kamurocho with them. Though it's debateable if he is a villain since it implies he was going to double cross the Korean mafia in the end because of his respect to Fuma.

Did you play VLR? If you did,
it's extremely obvious that Zero is going to be Brother, granted you don't actually see him so you don't know what he'll look like, but you know of the character
because that's an incredible spoiler
=P
nah, but it's really good.
my example is the best but it's just... so spoilerific...

My jaw dropped when I learned who main villain was. Took me by complete surprise.
Edit: This is about KOTOR

Who didn't is probably a better question
???
The game MAKES SURE you know the villian before it's revealed.
Like, at least two times they tell you who zero is lol.
"I have a sister" / Both Babies Phi and Delta. First hint.
The anagram "E, L, T, A, D". Second hint.

stupid ass game
Let me think.
Final Fantasy did this a few times with surprise end-bosses, but they were usually some sort of uber-demon and not really a proper character. Undertale, if you're going in blind the end-boss for all three major routes of the game is a surprise.
Can't add many that haven't been named a few times already so..

Yeah, that was a very shitty thing to do.
I actually remember people complaining about the final boss coming out of nowhere at the end without realizing he was Alvin the whole time.
Well Delta is Brother. People were speculating that Zero in ZTD was Brother, which was true. I think that's what Bob means.
But we didn't really know who Brother was. That's like saying that they knew who the villain was because they knew it was Zero.

Castle Vania lords of shadow. I did not expect "him" to show up at the end. Really caught me off guard.

The entire world guessed who it was from the time he was first revealed, though the developers insisted it was a brand new character. It was clear almost immediately upon starting the game they were full of shit and everyone had guessed right.

DOOM (2016) kinda has this happen. You call tell from the first meeting that
is likely evil, but you don't get confirmation until just before the credits.
The giveaway for me, was an early review figuring out that

First game I thought of.
Ace Attorney Investigations 2 is insane
Deadly Premonition handled its reveal pretty damn well.
Some random circus clown that you successfully defended earlier happens to be behind everything, including shit as big as a presidential assassination and basically an upheaval of the whole legal and police systems
Deadly Premonition handled its reveal pretty damn well.

you were the villain all along; Comstock is DeWitt from another reality.
