Yes, there are cases of that in this game, also. I had already recruited one person, so in attempting to recruit another by having to fight them, wasnt able to get them. That was the case with Albel, so if you want him, be sure not to recruit someone else before fighting him. I hear he is quite good to play with, but ive been using Nel, Cliff, and Fayt since the start so have never changed. Good luck with it, fun game, by the way, been playing it two whole months now...
