This fucking fuck. I couldn't stand that disgusting little fucking turd. I don't even remember why that fuck even joined my party but the simple fact he was even in the game is a stupid enough reason.

I hate children in JRPGs.

Is there a time when a character joins a party, only for monetary reasons? Like, that they are super greedy treasure hunters and only care about earning as much booty as they can carry?

Yuki in Enchanted Arms joins the party because she thinks that by travelling with them she'll be able to find rare Golems to sell and become the number one Golem Hunter in the world. Although later on I believe she

Chrono Cross, the thread.

Almost the whole cast.

Sadly this... I love Chrono Cross... but that cast bloat makes motivation an afterthought for nearly everyone.

Oh yeah, I have to add Live A Live final chapter.

Mistral in .hack//IMOQ joins your party because you can help her find more rare items.
Even when you're facing a deadly computer virus that has sent people into literal comas she basically just passes it off as role-playing and wants more items.

Gaius in Fire Emblem Awakening

Spoiler

joins in exchange for candy

Also Tharja.

"Why are you even talking to me? I'm the enemy. You know I'm going to backstab you, right? ... You DON'T have a problem with that?! Okay, I HAVE to see where this is going. I'm in!"
