No, I meant that do the exploit to keep him until chapter 7. Go to the Keep and kick him out. Finish off Johnny and then go over to TOB and pick him up again after arriving in Saradush. I'll try it and see.

I once made a party that had Yoshimo and imported it to TOB and he vanished, since he is meant to. So I'll see if I can do it this way.

Think of Yoshimo in TOB as an IWD character. Very silent.
