I can see that too. It would all be perfect, then Haseo would walk out and then everybody takes one look at him and scatters. Why'd you have to come out Haseo? We told you to stay inside.

Haseo:Whatever...I'm going on a quest.Later.
Canard: Yes, he's gone.
(Business is booming till Haseo returns)

See that could be a sidequest or something. Get guild members. Plus all of you party joining up. Guild's could be important since it looks like Icolo has been taken out and Moon Tree still has it's problems. Assuming something happens in Kestrel as well Carnard may need an upgrade in members.

Not really any new characters not listed on the site, aside from Casubolo, who's not exactly "new". G.U. has a lot less one-time helper characters too, it seems...

Bikman's quest, and in fact all of the town NPC campaigns, reset in Vol.2 so you can do them all over again. Before you get upset, it's not like you aren't getting more items and stat enhancers, so it's not really a "bad" thing... You can ignore it if you want to...

Meh, it feels better to be as close to 100% as possible.

Wait.. reset? As in, not building up upon what we've done in Volume 1? Not just extending the meter of Chim Chim kicks or Steam Grunty saves? Aww...

There was more then just the update on lost weapon and stuff, they also added the characters

"Azure Kite" "Azure Balmung" "Azure Orca" "Shino" and "Tabby" to the list, which is really helpful, though I'm pretty sure everyone else already saw them.

We need more Vol.3 discussion. Here's some stuff to fuel the fire, a summary of various news, straight from the horse's mouth (well by "straight" I mean translated by me from secondhand summaries, but still...):

-Tabby is the only Roots character promised to appear
-The song for Vol.3 is "Yasashiku Kimi ga Hohoende Ita" ("You Were Smiling Kindly").
-Robots, the Village station, things in the news you thought irrelevant to the story won't be. Online Jack will tie it together. (My personal theory is Sakaki gets a lot closer to his goal. Either that or they lose AIDA containment altogether)
-Max level is 150.
-"All the mysteries" will be resolved in 3. (I seriously doubt it, but we can hope)
-The last episode of Online Jack will be really good.
-The origin of Haseo's name will be explored and come to play in the story. They also say that some fans have already figured it out, so that pretty much tells you Sora will have something to do with Vol.3! ^^
-Haseo's "white" costume and corresponding change in personality was planned from the very beginning (And so much has changed, that's almost amazing. I mean, I believe Ovan's arm originally was just his Epitaph...)
-The theme of 1 was "Impact", 2 was "Powerup", and 3 is "Conclusion".
-The ending will be even more devious than the false ending in 2.

Lots of people just... made the connection. In fact, one person I saw on a BBS I was reading figured it out because his elementary school Japanese class was reading Narrow Road to the Deep North (which is presumably exactly the way Haseo and Sora came up with it). Haseo is a rendering of the Bashou, the name of a famous poet. Sora is confirmed to be named after Kawai Sora, his student, who's most famous for appearing in Bashou's story, "Narrow Road to the Deep North".
