New Game + is in desperate need of rewards

[Hanayumi]

Pretty sure the whole thing about ng+ was to give those that skipped or wish to experience the story again another chance at it, why would you need rewards?

[Tamaerl]

I really wish NG+ quests would give exp. No gil, no items, just exp. The exp given could be maybe half of what the original quest gave. That way one can ultimately have a more scenic route alternative for leveling alternate jobs, as opposed to doing endless roulettes.

New Game + does give rewards. It's all the Gil, Exp, and items it gave you on the initial way through.

[Illmaeran]

I don't think it should give any item rewards, but it should give XP. I'd go back through and play the MSQ over and over again to level jobs I don't feel like grinding. I had to make an alt to experience ARR through ShB again on a fresh character to see the changes since it was current content while getting XP for my efforts. It sure would be nice to be able to do it on the main instead.

And how about maxed chars? many players have allready all jobs at max and dont need any xp

No one's forcing you to do NG+ either

My ego does, I wanna play the story again

I also dont see the point of new game +, if i really want to experience the whole story again i would make a new char. Im on the same side like the op, doing something without a reward seems like a waste of time for me. With a new char i would have atleast another char at max level.

the same purpose I use unending journey.
To see specific parts.
And not waste time gearing and leveling stuff.

then experiencing the story again will be your reward

I don't think it's really there as a piece of content that you should be rewarded for completing. It just exists as a way to re-experience the story.
If you add any kind of incentive for doing so, you're just going to get people abusing it for the rewards, which kind of defeats the purpose.

[Josh_the_Human]

Agreed - I'd love to replay the final fight Vs Zenos.... but I don't want to have to replay the entire second-half of Endwalker to get there!

A bit unrelated but I'd bet money that they're gonna give us an EX duty version of it, maybe for the 6.0 relics? Like they did for 5.0 and that one boss

Oh, and remember, any reward that is easy to get, and not easily seen will be farmed the instant the bots figure it out.
Whatever point in the plot ends up having the best reward for a given period of time will become very hard for a normal person to run if they are competing against hundreds of bots.
