Personally I wont use it, I find its a terrible waste of ressources that should have been put into projects, that really would improve the game, like reworking all ARR maps to bigger full 3D maps, able to fly in them, with added new content to revitalize ARR maps, that turn more n more into ghost maps of nobody doing fates, especially not fate bosses

Fates should get contstantly replaced in a certain time cycle, to keep the maps fresh n interesting to revisit them.
The feature is misleading, what we get is no NG+, but in fact just a chapter based Replay/Chronicles Mode, that spares us to create extra new character n start as Lvl 1, when its just comfortable to get level n gear synced all the way with your endgame equipment, never having to woory about being ever undergeared.

But I dont thunk, that this game really neccessarily needs for ability to replay old cont an extra game mechanic, when you get the same experiencd again with making a new character, thats why I think this Pseudo NG+ will be completely pointless and obsolete, alot of time, money n manpower wasted for a feature that maybe less than 5% of the community will ever use, if there is absolutely no incentivation to the player to do so, just reliving the story again is NONE, people were able to do that for years with new characters already, just only not with the convienient ability to choose directly, which part of the game by chapter they want to replay, with new character it meant just, you get the full deal, or nothing.


NG +, uhm sorry - Replay Mode can be taken by me only serious, if it would provide something, that is more than just being able to replay old content.

It should offer:

- Exp again from Quests n MSLonly as reward, with like 100% Bonus, therefore no Gil, no Items, no Gear Stuff, just only increased exp, fore those who want to level alts faster.
- A title maybe for having replayed once completely a certain part of the game, ARR, HW, SB, SH, and for having replayed once the whole game to current plot end, lets say Storyteller/Historian/Hero Titles based on those story segments being replayed at least once.
- Special earnable Glamours of Weapons n Gear for having replayed fully either ARR (Gaius Weapon/Armor), HW (Estinien's Bloodred Dragoon Gearset), SB (Lyses CG trailer Weapon/Dress) or SH ( Y'shtola's Blackmage Staff/Dress with Hood) from the SH CG of the expansion's trailer CG.
- Some unique TT Cards, Pets n Mounts to receive as one time rewards for replaying completely the game for the first time, like for example a Phoenix Card for ARR, an alternate Estinien Card that shows him in his Past HW Gear for HW, a Papalymo Card for SB that shows him in his last moments, and an Emet Selch/ Hades Card for SH ect, just makibg examples for cards only now here.
