I noticed the game has a bad habit of introducing and removing party members with no warning...

At first I thought it would stop doing that after "introducing" them, but now it is clear that only the two kids are permanent, all other characters might get removed at any time...

So, any guide or hint of when that might happen, so I can unload their stuff? I am still very pissed that Shera left with some nice quartz...
Don't the items go back into your inventory? I still have the weapons (and other stuff) they had.


And the characters do meet up again, I won't say more.
Weapons are character-specific. No other party member can use Schera's whips, for example. As for armor and quartz, NPCs come equipped with stuff appropriate for their current level, and I never bother to upgrade them, as NPCs are transient. I'm only halfway through the game, so I'm not sure, but i wouldn't spend much resources on them.
Yeah, when a character permanently leaves your party, you get their quartz, armor and shoes, not sure about accessories. They only keep their weapons, so unless you want to collect every kind of weapon in the game, you needn't worry about characters leaving your party.
If you're playing a Cleared game, you should be aware, though.

If you equip the strongest weapons to your characters too soon, you'll lose it if the character left from your party(except for Orbs, Boots, Armors & Accessories).

Just discovered it in the worst possible way. I've equipped Olivier with Magenta weapon(STR +120) in Chapter 1, but then he left the party for a while, and when he came back he was equipped with his Needler(his standard STR +20 weapon for Chapter 1), so I lost Magenta.

I didn't loaded my older saved game because I've progressed too much without saving the game periodically.

So, be aware.
