There aren't additional loading areas, they just present a now loading screen when there are loading areas. Level transitions are noticeably faster as well, but that's where it ends.

Slowdown is more prevalent during gameplay, especially when using detailed effects like potions or after defeating Dracula the second time. Because of the inability to program for the Saturn, developers replaced a lot of the rendered effects with sprites instead, many of which don't look very pretty. There aren't enough buttons for a direct map button, so it's accessed in the pause menu, and it takes a very long time to switch between gameplay and the pause menu to begin with, so map checking in particular is very time consuming. The underground garden is kind of cool, I guess? There's not much to it. The prison is featureless and almost useless unless you want some inflated experience points from some of the gargoyles in it.

On the plus side, there are more spells, more familiars, more relics, including a cool running relic you get after acquiring access to the floating castle that comes in handy if you're too lazy to shield dash. Wingsmash can go indefinitely as long as you have the magic for it. You can play as Maria and Richter in his cool long sleeve coat. Many more weapons are available, and that's about it.
