Oh, in that case! Just go out and trigger a plot sequence! The quickest way to do this is to go pick a fight with the biggest, most powerful and impressive unique enemy you can find~

If you are truly the main character, then this will trigger a hopeless boss fight and instead of getting Game Over you will get saved by your next party member!

They of course will be far weaker once they actually join you then they were in that cutscene, but we can't have everything!

And if you aren't the main character than the thing will stomp on you. But at least then you won't have to worry about forming a party anymore right?
