Thread: 5.0 New Game Plus — Let me re-level

First, I'm just happy that New Game+ is going to exist, since I've been wanting to replay the MSQ. Having said that, I'd like the option to start New Game+ with just my main class at level 1, rather than with all classes fully leveled (creating a new character isn't feasible, due to my MogStation and event items.)

what? that makes absolutely no sense. that's just the same as creating a new character. how is creating a new character not feasible. you don't need any of that stuff if you're just doing msq on a new char.

A shame they're missing gear options IIRC, Samurai and Red Mage at least have no weapons at low levels outside Lv1 glamour pieces. So reseting such jobs would render them unplayable.

Then why not all jobs? No job starts at level 1 at the moment because they're jobs and not classes. Blue is a different animal that is linked to a new system. Sorry just can't think of any Square game that had new game + that made you go back to level one.

Sorry my mind didn't go there as it could only think of Crono Triger where if I remember right you kept everything as I remember being able to use Crono's highest spell on the robot guy at the fair if you really wanted to waste the mp instead of just having Merle attack the poor thing as Crono tends to be super overkill.

You talking the remastered version of X-2? Haven't beaten the remaster but all my save files from the ps2 version when I use NG+, I start out at whatever level they left off on, just loose all key items. The only FF game I've seen do that version of NG+ so far was the remaster of 12 TZA, and they also added a NG- where you stay at level 1 through the whole game.

My whole 2 cents on this however, is I think it is awesome they are adding it and making it like traditional NG+ that they introduced back in Chrono Trigger. Just curious how it works though since I'm still playing through Stormblood.

SE intended them to start at 30/50, there are no weapons with a lower level than that. As such you literally cannot start them at 1.
