There's Farcry 4. Once the Boss invites you to lunch at the beginning, but then goes off to deal with something, you can choose to wait for him and when he comes back he takes you to do what you came to his country to do and then the game ends.

Found it! Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration:
- The first three endings in Demon's Crest add generous amounts of Lampshade Hanging. After finishing the first level, you can either fly to the second... or head right for the Phalanx's castle. In fact, you get there so quickly the final boss hasn't even finished setting up the final Death Course, hasn't figured out how to use his crest, and dies after one round. If you go to the last level after the fourth, the level will actually be ready, and Phalanx is stronger, but he still can't use the crest fully. If you go there after finishing all the levels, he'll finally have figured out how to REALLY use it, going One-Winged Angel at long last.
Found it! Demon's Crest!
Game where you can go straight to the final boss from the start, but is easiest that way.
Because he's not done getting ready...
I think it was a sprite-based RPG, but I"m not sure.
I'm sure I read about it on this site, though.
If I knew what trope I was describing, I think I'd be able to find it...
Zero-Effort Boss? Doesn't seem right...
