In the PC fantasy kingdom sim Majesty, you (as the sovereign) are not allowed to have certain groups, usually of warring religious factions, in your kingdom at the same time.Similarly, Jade Empire won't let your party members join you in the final showdown, but they (those who remained loyal anyway) will help you take out the Big Bad 's minions.Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer has the final confrontation taking place in your own mind as it is being devoured by the Spirit-Eater curse, as you fight you call your allies and friends (some of which are dead) to assist you.The final scene in the game before your princess turns out to be a clown, comes back to the party from the first scene only now filled with just about every character in the game, all having fun and drinking. Played literally in Castle Crashers where after you defeat the final boss, you and the princess ride on the crystal back to your castle.Though how they were cheering, let alone alive, after the city had been destroyed is beyond anyone. The citizens of Station Square did this in Sonic Adventure.EarthBound while fighting the Big Bad, the only way to beat him is to use the up until then useless skill 'Pray,' which causes all the NPCs in the world, plus the player, to pray together, which destroys the Big Bad.Even dead party members show up to offer words of encouragement.And each member appears to say a line to the party in the process, to boot.

In Final Fantasy IV, the entire inactive party prays to revive the entire felled party at the end of the game, just prior to fighting the surprise final boss.
