RPGs tend to make a big deal about who is and who isn't part of the player's travelling band of heroes racing to save the world from those evil machinations of the Big Bad. Expect to see some fanfare (such as a possible music riff) whenever a Chekhov's Gunman sheds their "NPC" label and submits to the player's team management; typically with a message announcing how "X joined the party".
Compare Item Get!.
Common enough that only examples that are played with should be listed.

In Star Ocean: The Second Story, if you refuse to help Ashton out after putting him into his unfortunate predicament, then return to him immediately after the party expresses some guilt over ditching him, he'll chew them out and force himself into the party with an appropriate notice.

Shadow Hearts series has a Running Gag that "Odd Creature" (Roger Bacon) pretends to join your party (complete with "Naming screen") but never actually does it. The naming screen shows up in the later two games, even though you can't rename characters in either of them.

The Disgaea series:
Disgaea has at least two people who join your party without your consent, and a few more who are actually enslaved by Laharlnote Hoggmeiser and Maderas.
Disgaea 2 plays with this for most of the main characters, to whit:
Disgaea 3 continues to play with this for its downloadable characters:
"Tink was enrolled as a student while still unconscious."
"Mao has received the most badass Notebook ever."
At one point early in the game you get the message "Raspberyl ended up traveling with you" however she doesn't officially join your party till later.

You're told "(X monster) has joined you" when you successfully recruit demons in most Shin Megami Tensei games. However, sometimes you can say the right things to a demon and have them join without negotiations. In which case you're told "(X monster) forces itself into your party!" For instance, after completing a sidequest that unlocks Black Frost in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Black Frost "joins your party without your consent."

In Scott Pilgrim, of course. On the first pages of the fifth volume, Scott and his friends are at Julie's new apartment's Day of the Dead party. Scott and Ramona encounter her fifth and sixth exes, the Katayanagi twins, experts on robots and technology. When they challenge Scott to a fight, a robot goes inside and just... joins the party.
Which happens in the video game as well. "Robot-01 joined the party!"

Whenever a team member joins the party in Super Mario RPG, Mario spins around and makes a V-Sign, in addition to a short musical ditty. The actual text varies depending on who joined and how; for example, since Bowser refuses to admit that he's joining Mario's cause and claims he's only letting Mario join his Koopa army, the game announces "Mario and his friends have joined the Koopa Troop! (or so they're pretending) Bowser joins the group..."
In the first Paper Mario after you reach the top floor of Boo Mansion, Bow joins your party, as the text box notes, "like it or not!"
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, after you beat Doopliss (for the second time) in Chapter 4, Vivian is said by a text box to have "really joined your party now!" Also, in Chapter 5, when Flavio accompanies Mario to the entrance to the Pirate's Grotto, a message appears stating that "Flavio will join you for a short time" even though he only follows Mario around and does not act as a partner. Most of the other tag-along characters join without a message of that sort.

Parodied to hell and back in Deltarune.
Chapter 1: After Susie joins your party, a fanfare plays along with the prompt message "Susie joined your party!" To which Susie responds by slowly backing away off-screen... which also gets a slowed-down fanfare and a message prompt. The same fanfare and prompt would reappear when Lancer joins the party... and then later when the team found a candy, to which Susie had enough of and cuts the whole thing short. After Susie promised to be more cooperative, a short piano jingle plays with the message prompt "Susie joined your party for real."
Chapter 2's beginning has Lancer heading into your inventory as a key item. This is followed by Rouxls Kaard forcing his way in, with a message appearing that he joined you "even though nobody wanted that".

Rakenzarn Frontier Story has a variant on this. If a party member joins and has a Rune Class that is equippable, you'll see what level they're going to be at as well as what skills they gained via Leaked Experience. If you get this message and it doesn't say what level they are, it means they're a Guest-Star Party Member with a class only they can use.

Skies of Arcadia announces that "Drachma joined your party... again" after said character rejoins for good after dropping in and out of the party several times in a short timeframe. Much later, one crewmember brings with him a twist on the "X joined your crew as a Y" message: "Pow joined your crew as a Jester... of sorts."

Rakenzarn Tales plays it straight for both regular party members and Support members. One humorous moment is if you recruit Deadpool in Chapter 10, in which his theme plays instead of the normal jingle and the text declares he's now brigade leader. In a rare moment of fourth wall observation, Kyuu notices this and complains.

As seen in the page quote above, Super Paper Mario X does this every time a new character joins the team. Makes sense, since this is a crossover with a RPG. Usually it's Link who does these, but when the gang got split up starting with chapter 42, other characters have done these introductions instead. Link was quite upset that he didn't make those intros.
