So you meet up with them (I went to the Soldier) it switched to him and I did his intro.... So now what? You switch with person is "leading"?
You actually are stuck with whoever you chose first until you finish their story.
The only significant difference made by choosing your first character is that 'that' character is locked into your party until you finish the quests in their storyline. You don't even have to complete that character's story first and for the most part, you're free to choose where you want to go from the get-go. You just won't have the flexibility of removing that character from your party until their quests are finished.
Once you've completed those specific story-related quests, who you chose to start with effectively doesn't matter anymore and you'll be able to run whichever 4 characters at a time that you see fit.
So in your game with the Dancer and Soldier in your party it's then up to you where to go. Do you want to do Chapter 2 of the dancer or soldier? Or you could go meet someone else and have three people in your team.
If you picked the soldier first and then went to get the dancer the story so far would be exactly the same. The only difference is the soldier would be labelled your main character.
Instead of the TV shows here you have characters with their questlines. Instead of seasons you have the four chapters of each character's story.
The game's difficulty doesn't scale much depending on how many characters you have (only the first areas do, so that's mostly irrelevant. In fact, it's only a problem because four enemies become unavailable, thus potentially negating one achievement), so the gameplay would encourage you to "watch season-1" of at least four "shows" (complete four Chapter 1 stories before moving on to the respective four Chapter 2, then the four Chapter 3, then the four final Chapters.
On the other hand, this also means that if you finish the fourth chapters with one (or more) characters, those characters will likely have to have been very strong (because chapter 4 bosses hit hard, so it's survival of the fittest). Therefore you can either use them to "chaperone" the other characters (in other words, use the leveled-up characters, who have completed their questlines, and who are strong, to mop up the low-level Chapter 1/2/3 of the other characters' stories), or you can decide to take them out of the party so you can have more fun (if that's your thing) in more balanced fights when you play the other characters' stories.
Therefore, once you've seen a story through (once you finish the fourth chapter of any given character), the game will allow you to remove him/her from the party, so you are not "forced" to use him/her (who, again, would be very strong by that point) to play the Chapter 1/2/3 stories of the other characters, thus potentially breaking the balance and making the other characters' stories too easy.
So, ideally you'd probably want to play all Chapter 1 stories, then all Chapter 2, then all Chapter 3, then all Chapter 4. However, you're free to do otherwise. Most people probably try to progress with any given character's story, then get their ass kicked by the strong story bosses, and are thus "naturally" led by the game to explore the other low-level Chapters with other characters, thus gaining Exp and JP (and possibly items and equipment) in the process which will make them stronger and eventually fit to fight their own bosses without even trying to grind for it.
The balance isn't perfect, but it's customizable to how you want to do it. Can be broken really hard if you know what you're doing, but first-time players won't.
Good luck doing chaper 2 that early, lmao.
