* ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' had this a few times in one sequence near the end of the game.
** ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' had this in that desert where Home was and in Yuna's section of Via Purifico.
Line 17:
*** Much earlier in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', Sabin arrives mid-battle to help with a boss. Unlike most examples, this is the first time Sabin appears in the game outside of a flashback.
*** And Gau has an entire gameplay mechanic where he'll do this on the Veldt a few battles after he Leaps away.
** In Edge's chapter in ''[[Final Fantasy IV:
** ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' has a boss fight starting with Hope as your only playable character. Considering that Hope [[Squishy Wizard|isn't exactly the most durable character on the team]], he ends up having quite a hard time just surviving on his own until Lightning and Fang arrive to back him up.

* In an inversion, ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' has you separated from your squad in one chapter. Instead of being rescued by your allies, you find and rescue them from an overwhelming assault.
* In ''[[
* A possible NPC example from ''[[Dragon Age II]]'': in the Act II endgame, Isabella will betray you and run off with the loot. However, if you have a strong (Friend, Rival, or Romance) relationship with her, she will find herself unable to leave your side and join you in the middle of the battle against the act boss.
