New game+ rewards

[Canadane]

People: I wanna re-visit old cutscenes and events in the story.
Yoshi-p: Okay here you go
People: I want a reward for re-visiting old cutscenes and events in the story.

It's just for revisiting the story, Yoshi P stated multiple times in live letters that there will be no rewards. The purpose is to do the story again if you want to experience it again. Plus, leveling in this game is so easy that you shouldn't even need rewards from new game plus.

so my suggestion is to make NG+ give some exp reward so that people have a reason to do that without having a feeling that they'd better level another character rather than using the NG+. to avoid ppl exploiting it to level faster, i'd also suggest to make cutscenes unskippable like the MSQ dungeons.

That would kill the feature entirely. Have you seen the complaints surrounding the unskippable cutscenes in MSQ Roulette? There’s a lot of them. People don’t like them. That aside: why be forced into watching cutscenes when you can just spam dungeons in less time? It’s all about efficiency, and people are naturally inclined to take the path of greater efficiency and least resistance.


That said, New Game+ doesn’t need rewards. The target demographic was not those who want to level alt jobs; it was targeted towards those who just want to re-experience the story for the sake of re-experiencing the story...without having to make a brand new character for it.

Considering what I clicked New Posts, the first thing I saw was this:



I think that says all that needs to be said about people's thoughts towards unskippabale cut scenes.

I never thought I'd say this, but, I agree with you lol. Well, at least for the most part

I don't understand why "using it for leveling" and "using it for the story" should be mutually exclusive.

You only want the story ? Take your high level job, do every single fights unsynced and breeze through everything.
You want to level ? Take a low level job and trek all the way up to the end.

I just know it's worthless feature to me that I will never use just like the trusts system. Think just fine how it is since just for those that want play the story again. For me I just create a new alt to use or watch old cutscenes back at the inn.

Rewards added to New Game+ like EXP would only really benefit people who want a cheaper alternative to buying a level jump book or even multiples of level jump books, so I am all for adding EXP rewards for New Game+, but only for classes/jobs that are applicable.

[Allooutrick]

Square: gives ng+ for the sole purpose of reliving the story

Players: but does it give good exp?

[MOZZYSTAR]

I cannot wait to relive SHB.
(Btw, stupid question, but how does one start NG+?)
