#DragonAgeOrigins.TropesLToQ: While the game normally has CantDropTheHero in effect, there are a few portions of the game in which [[PlayerCharacter the Warden]] is removed from your party. The first involves entering the Fade to kill a demon; since only Mages can enter the Fade voluntarily, if your Warden is a Rogue or Warrior, you have to send someone else. The second is a mission in which your other characters have to break the Warden out of prison (though you can also choose to escape as the Warden). The third is a DuelBoss CombatByChampion against [[spoiler: Loghain]], which can be fought as any party member other than Dog. And finally, a small segment of the final battle has whatever party members you didn't take with you HoldTheLine against the darkspawn to buy your main party time to kill the Archdemon. In all of these instances, you will play as the character in question. '''The Warden is the PlayerCharacter, so this is used correctly.'''
#VideoGame.BatenKaitos: There's a section in ''Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean'' where the player has to take control of Xelha while Kalas, the main character for the other 95% of the game, does various spoiler-y things. '''Main character in an RPG, so this is correct usage.'''

#VideoGame.KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords: The game does this when you have to attack two installations simultaneously: one on the planet surface and the other on the planet's moon. Basically, you have to decide which three of your teammates would go to the moon and which one (in addition to Kreia) you take with you to the planet. The choice is made slightly easier by the fact that [[LeakedExperience KOTOR gives equal amounts of XP to all characters, even on the Ebon Hawk]], but there is still the small matter of all the cool items being concentrated in the hands of your Top Three characters... '''Main characters, but not ''the'' main character.'''

#Characters.FireEmblemHeroesTheOrderOfHeroes: When the Order of Heroes ends up in the Realm of Dreams, Alfonse notices that the summoner is missing. '''The Summoner is the player character, and this is an RPG, so this is used correctly.'''
#Characters.NightInTheWoods: [[spoiler:You lose control of her for a short while after the run-in with the cult. To everyone, she got separated from the group and went missing.]] '''Mae is the main character, but this isn't an RPG.'''
#Characters.TheLordOfTheRingsOnline: At one point in the story, Bingo disappears into an underground river, so you end up working with Willem and Spalvi to locate him. '''This game is an RPG, and Bingo seems to be the main character of "The Ballad of Bingo Boffin", so I guess this is correctly-used?'''

#AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Compare MissingMainCharacter. '''This trope is about the POV changing in a work, so this is a related trope.'''
#CantDropTheHero: The inverse is MissingMainCharacter. '''This trope is about being unable to remove the main character from your party in an RPG, so this is a related trope, although it's not the direct inverse (the inverse would be being able to remove the main character from your party, while MissingMainCharacter is being forced or unable to have the main character in your party).'''
#Characters.{{Dad}}: [[spoiler:Technically, he is nowhere to be found in Act III due to Andan having regained his original memories and personality, though one could see Dadbot as essentially being Dad (there is little to no difference in their personalities) or at least a successor or extension of him. There’s still a chance he might return, though, given how Andan switched back to being Dad during the livestream that introduced Dirk]]. '''Main character in a non-RPG is not present.'''
#Characters.FinalFantasyIII: Refia is the only member of the four to temporarily leave the party in the final game [[note]]The unused text, however, shows that Arc and Alus were meant to temporarily leave during the Saronia plotline.[[/note]] and does so twice: After her initial recruitment, Refia refuses to enter Kazus during the ghost crisis out of fear of facing her father. After the situation is resolved, Takka takes her home and she stays there until Cid asks Takka to make a ram for his airship. Afterwards, she goes to the airship, where she permanently rejoins the party. '''While Refia is a main character, she isn't ''the'' main protagonist, so this isn't an example.'''
#Characters.FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged: He gives ''astoundingly'' effective {{Rousing Speech}}es on dreams that can pick damn near anyone up, and giving one to Cloud is the reason he's on the team in the first place. [[spoiler: [[KilledOffForReal Given]] [[ItWasHisSled what's]] [[MissingMainCharacter coming]] ''[[YouAreInCommandNow they're going to need him]].'']] '''Pothole; not an RPG, and Cid isn't even the main protagonist anyway.'''
