Joshua

Much like Jill, Joshua is another important character, and while you don’t really get to control him, there is a brief sequence early on in the prologue where you can control him during some battles. This sequence takes place during the Flight of the Fledgling Main Scenario Chapter, and while you do get to control him briefly, this sequence is straightforward. But enjoy launching a few massive fireballs!

You also get an opportunity to play as Joshua’s fully-primed Phoenix during the Fire in the Sky Main Scenario Quest. Check out the section below to learn more:

Joshua will also join your party permanently after you’ve completed the Where There’s a Will Optional Quest. Check out the link below for more information on when and how to complete it:

While in your party, Joshua will launch attacks and cast shields that temporarily protect Clive from damage. His most significant benefit, though, is that he will tie up one or more enemies, which will help you deal with large groups of enemies much more easily.
