Maybe they were the [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]], or maybe they were controlled by [[Puppeteer Parasite]], or maybe one too many of their loved ones died.

* Kain from ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', who has a specific goal in mind -- he is going to try to renounce his sins and become a Paladin, as Cecil did in the game.
* At the end of ''[[Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney]]'', prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, having found out his mentor and a figure he greatly admired [[Broken Pedestal|were both truly amoral]], leaves on a journey to understand true justice. In the second game, ''Justice For All'', he is briefly assumed to be dead, but {{spoiler|returns to prosecute the final case, having learned what he sought out to find.}}
** This Troper thought he was looking for a [[Theme Music Power -Up|theme tune..]]
* At the end of ''[[Suikoden V]]'', Georg leaves to travel the world, setting up his eventual appearance in ''[[Suikoden II]]''.
* The Protagonist of ''[[Lufia]] and the Fortress of Doom.'' The apparent conclusion of his journey is the final scene of the ending.
