This is exactly what I wanted out of New Game+, and it is what I didn't get :')
Ah, I wasn't even aware there were achievements associated!
That makes an even more compelling argument for looking into this as an option. Like I said, I'm kind of a perfectionist anyways, so I'd love just being able to "unlock ALL cutscenes". But also, yeah it's kind of a bummer when I believe it was towards the end of Endwalker (when you're having dinner with the three scions), they make another reference to "where you started". And I found myself wishing I could change to have started in Limsa Lominsa, instead.
I’d love this. My starting city is gridania which I don’t like. I’d love to change it lol
I don't know that it can be done. The first quest you get on starting the game is a side quest, not msq.
If you could pick a new starter area...it's not really a starter area anymore.
For those wondering. The ONLY "Achievement" that is based on your starting city is:
The <City> Envoy
There is not real method to get this for all three cities. In fact, there isn't any way to get any achievements via New Game+, since it covers everything you've already done, or you skipped using the MSQ/Job skip option.
