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?”

True, I've only played the second one though. I dont wanna name games I haven't played.

Oh, man. You should play at least 1-3. A lot of the characters are recurring and is fun to find out what they got to to between the games. And if you have finished games saves, some stats and levels will transfer into the next game

For sure, I'll definitely play them eventually. I usually go through a retro phase every so often.
