Better Weapons And Equipment Are Now Available

Recruiting Characters Changes
The first part of the game allows players to recruit other characters by talking to them and meeting their requirements. This changes in the second part of the game as most of the unrecruited characters will leave the monastery, permanently locking them out of recruitment.
