Metaphor: ReFantazio's New Game+ Mode: A Deep Dive into Carryovers and New Challenges!
Unlocking Metaphor: ReFantazio's New Game+ Mode: A Second Chance at Glory
Finished Metaphor: ReFantazio's main campaign? Saw that awesome "Fantasy Lives On…" ending? Congratulations, you're ready for New Game+ (NG+)! This amazing second playthrough lets you keep your hard-earned loot and experience and offers that exciting opportunity for taking advantage of previous experiences to really get the maximum benefit for everything available to increase that maximum efficiency! It's going to provide you with that extra boost needed for all those additional challenges and rewards.
This deep dive explains exactly how you unlock NG+, what carries over, and that totally epic secret boss fight waiting for you in the awesome game world! This additional challenge requires extra effort that players won't really find unless they explore for themselves. This new element adds extra hours, especially for those hardcore players who will definitely want this additional reward. We are going to make sure you're ready for maximum advantage when you jump into NG+!
How to Start Your NG+ Journey
Unlocking NG+ is simple: beat the main game, see the ending, watch the credits. You’ll then get a prompt. Create a new save file to begin! Your total playtime carries over (just like those other awesome Atlus games). So don't panic when the playtime isn't zero; This doesn't affect actual progress.
Feel confident carrying over your existing advantages? Go for Regicide difficulty, locked in that first playthrough!
What Awesome Stuff Carries Over to NG+?
(Big thanks to The Game Looters on YouTube for the info!). Not EVERYTHING carries over– some stuff wouldn't make narrative sense. Here is what is made available, for you to enjoy!
- Money, MAG, Items, Equipment, Gold Beetles: This will completely benefit your early game, making things much more enjoyable.
- Archetype Progress: You will still have to unlock Archetypes. However; previous progress is instantly available once unlocked.
- Royal Virtues (Social Stats): These are incredibly useful! This means far more versatility; and maximizes your time in areas you’ll need to focus on.
It is especially noteworthy for maximizing the usefulness and value generated through this additional aspect of NG+ – Those social stats were particularly important. Maxing those Royal Virtues before that initial playthrough is ideal, that alone is worth spending those extra days and efforts. You don’t need to redo the same effort; you need more loot!
NG+ Exclusive Content: Confront the Redscale Apocalypse Dragon!
This is even more interesting than carryovers, and shows why hardcore fans might desire to obtain all the achievements: A secret boss awaits! You probably saw that mysterious Book of Apocalypse in Akademia; unable to touch during the main storyline. Now it unlocks!
Interact (not in Storyteller difficulty); face the awesome Redscale Apocalypse Dragon! This one’s TOUGH. Your levels reset, making this insane fight more challenging, making it require a whole lot of farming before going in to confront this highly anticipated boss fight that hardcore gamers and fans are anticipating for weeks after its release!
Conclusion: Re-experience ReFantazio With Enhanced Power and Challenges
Metaphor: ReFantazio's NG+ is absolutely brilliant. It adds tons of replay value by allowing for maximizing every advantage from that earlier playtime experience to generate incredible replayability for this awesome game that really only becomes more interesting upon discovering additional ways and moments in its creative storytelling. It isn’t only useful for enhancing your abilities to overcome obstacles – that alone would already be a major advantage– it also allows new things, like exploring every part of those amazing locations within its world! And then facing off against a ridiculously awesome, totally insane and unforgettable final boss!
