Game is amazing, and I love that they added a NG+ I do wish they added an additional difficulty level because that would've been a really fun way to use all the endgame tools again, but ultimately the game is still one of the best JRPG's released this year.
@SliderFury19 ай бұрын
Yeah, NG+ needed a Multiverse difficulty mode. They could maybe still do it with a patch.
@TheInquisitiveShark9 ай бұрын
I'm ecstatic they added NG+ just for the slough to get rare items or the building the best weapons and armor. I generally replay for the story and experience.
@meltygear59559 ай бұрын
Replay for the story? I follow the dialogue the first time, always. And I use KZfaq for missed cutscenes. Gimme difficulty!
@AproposDare9 ай бұрын
If you want a harder difficulty, just don't wear any armor. Still too easy? No accessories then. Not satisfied yet? Only use the first/default weapon throughout the game.

Thanks for this! I loved being overpowered towards the end of my first playthrough. Maybe I'll try this new game+ mode and get different characters.
@JM-sg7bg9 ай бұрын
NG+ is what we were waiting for. Not having new difficulty mode though makes is quite boring, and just for those who want to complete everything. I want challenge in my ng+, or I won’t be motivated to do it… a shame, really.

The great thing about star ocean is u control ur difficulty sliders through IC and the equipment u use. The game can be as easy or as hard as u want it to be. I just added handicaps on my second play through.

Saga Frontier Remake gave us the choice of what to carry over to the NG. I would probably choose to not carry over levels but my item collection would be cool to continue to build
@GremDisaster9 ай бұрын
I only wish they would have added extra difficulty modes for it.. For example: NG+ offers “4D Mode”, all enemies are scaled to your average party level. Then you unlock NG++ and get, uh, “Eternity Mode” that scales all enemies to 255! Just a pipe dream but I would have loved it 🥹

Is it me or is NG+ harder? I’ve done the 4 fields and going through Minea Cave right now. All monsters hit harder and bosses are way tougher. I play on Galaxy, because I just wanna run through and I’m on lvl 100+. Maybe the monsters are just leveling with us?

Do new game pluses carry over? For example if I play with Opera then my second play through I do a ng+ and get Ashton when I do a ng+ off of that file will my Opera’s skills carry over?

They should since that's how it worked in Chrono Cross and that game you actually had to be on a 3rd playthrough in order get get MOST of the 45 party members to ALL be playable at once. But I'm not sure if Opera 3 Machinery based moves Healing Star being once of them would carry over.

Sadly no. Characters don't carry over and you can't get opera if you get ashton and vice versa. It's leon or dias, ashton or opera and precis or bowman. Oh and dias is rena story exclusive and leon claude story exclusive. And you can only get ernest if you have opera. Lol you should check a guide so you don't waste your time.

@@Augusleeberty that’s not exactly what I meant. I meant will my character skills carry over after multiple new game pluses. Where if I chose a character the first time such as Celine and then do a new game plus without her, if I do a new game plus off of my second playthrough will her stats and skills remain intact? I’m wondering if the data will remain after multiple playthroughs.

@craig5819 ай бұрын
Each character you start out with have different characters you can recruit throughout their play through. Also, their perspectives slightly change on certain events. It's pretty cool because it means you can breeze through the game and enjoy the story, without having to grinding all those levels/bp/sp/skills and other side content.
