Unfortunately, you can't recruit all recruitable characters since some of them are exclusive to a route. You can't recruit all recruitable characters in one playthrough.

You need to finish the game first and unlock New Game Plus (New Game +) that will allow you to carry over units from your previous playthroughs. You need to do 4 playthroughs to get all 30 recruitable characters.

Recruit Through Character Stories

Character Stories will be made available to you starting from Chapter 5. It's a feature that lets you recruit characters and learn more about those who have already joined you. Simply press the + button when on the world map to view Character Stories.

Every now and then, a character will be made available for recruitment through Character Stories. You'll know a character story is available when you see its icon on the lower right area of the screen. Recruitable characters will automatically join your party after a brief cutscene.

Characters recruited through Character Stories are influenced by Serenoa's Conviction. After the credits roll, you'll unlock New Game Plus (New Game +) where you'll be able to see which choices affect Morality, Utility, and Liberty.

There are 30 Recruitable Characters

There are a total of 30 characters that you can recruit throughout the game. However, it is impossible to get all of them in just one playthrough. You need at least 4 playthroughs to get all recruitable characters.
