Yeah, I only used him for junctioning also, it's a waste of time getting him really, the battle is kinda annoying and it's not worth it after ward except for junctioning, and you can live without his junctioning, so I suggest skipping him, it's not worth it in my opinion

(Yeah... Sierra awesome... so is Suikoden... your avatar is Jowy right? I just wanna know as... I've kinda been wondering, I'm pretty sure, but hey, why not ask)
