JoJo characters in the game

 * Joseph Joestar: Joseph (circa part 2) is one of the sixteen heroes who joins the player's party. He can be recruited by going to the historic ruins in Area 4. He has two attacks: the short-range "Hamon Punch" and the long-range "Clacker Volley." Visiting the library in Area 4's southern cross section with him in your party will allow him to master hamon. Another powerup is received upon clearing a minigame created by the "Otogi Machine" in Area 4's southern cross section.
 * Santana: The boss of Area 4. The player fights him as Joseph in a one-on-one fighting game-style battle utilizing hamon.
 * Esidisi: One of the thirteen rivals who challenges the player's party during the RPG-like final battle. His attacks are "Heat Mode" and "Blazing King's Giant Wheel" and his special ability "It's not faaaaair!" boosts his attack power by 1.5 once his health is below 100.
 * Erina Joestar: Appears in Area 3 at the port town, after beating the area's boss.
 * Robert E.O. Speedwagon: Appears in Area 4, next to a vending machine.
