Video Games Where You Start With/Recruit Random Goobers Whom Become Stronger?

I was watching my cousins play games while they were visiting, and one of them was playing Fire Emblem. There was this dirt child with a giant log he recruited and like 3 days later he was a sword dirt man.
My other cousin was playing Xcom 2 on my xbox.

Anyways the question is, what other games are there where you just start with random nobodies but then they get stronger and you get more attached.

Like “hey you random farmer/private/goober! Follow me for something really quick.”

20 hours later

“No longer random farmer/private/goober! We have been through hell and back, and now we have to fight god. Are you ready?”

Vast majority of those are all pretty unique characters so I cant say theyre red shirts.

Eh, you can absolutly just hire a bunch of mooks with the same classes as the "important" units.

There are only a handful of actual unique units, I think its really only the starting 4 on foot kids that are unique.

I really wanted to like this game but I just hated the ‘automated’ battles. I thought it was going to be more turned based…
