Yes, but only because the reserve party didn't have a third member to round it out and half his skill tree was still locked when he died.
Then, Maelle didn't resurrect him, and I was disappointed they expected me to have 2 characters in the reserve party without being able to switch out characters in battle.
My only gripe with the battle system, actually. I don't even mind that it devolves into parryslop.
