I played it for a while years ago. Joseph can summon creatures, but they are so pathetic that they have little offensive power and can be killed easily. It's bad if they are killed because (if I recall properly) that permanently decreases Joseph's constitution points. So you have to babysit the summoned creatures in battle. Better not to even bother with them. Too many minor quests and impossible to remember where to go and whom to talk with to finish them. The chain fighting system is broken. Any skill points you put into it are wasted. The most effective tactic is to inch forward until you barely see an enemy (you will be barely outside their field of vision), and cast a fireball to kill them. Enemies are stupid and just stand there while they are burning up. I found the game a little annoying.
