FE is a neat example where i feel like there's an interesting tipping point that happens about the .. ehhhh, 10th chapter or so in all the games? where it goes from 'ragtag gang of buddies' that clashes directly with your point to 'legitimate army' where idealistic 'save the nation' macro notions (but not always) tend to be enough.
FE9 - A - I feel like it cheats here considering the Greil Mercenaries are a thing and actually being a group that re-forms between the games and such lol. Not only do they have their close-knit group of friends but it's almost like a little hippie commune with swords that stumbles onto the plot lol....
Critical Role s2 - C/D - honestly all of these darlings are the 'rat bastard' warlock/rogue/mage/etc lol; and the early episodes would struggle from this if the actors weren't as talented (and didn't have good chemistry with each other) as they do. Nott/Caleb met each other pre-game and they stuck with the main group out of sheer safety-in-numbers factor, likewise with Molly/Yasha. Fjord, you almost get the sense is more bored with existence than anything else and Jester is the emotional glue that distracts them all and re-focuses them on the Mission of The Day (usually doing x task to earn money) alarmingly commonly. It works /way/ better emotionally than it does logically.
these are fun to think about, may plop in more here later ~
