If you give your pawns curatives then use the Help command, they'll use them. The item merchant in Gran Soren also sells party-wide curatives, though they're quite pricey(10x normal).
Pretty sure their neck is the weak point. You can see it bulge when they prepare a shot of petrification juice. Whack the shit of it.
Ive seen some people say that you can completely kill its petrify ability but Im not sure how to do that.

This has probably been covered a million times by now, but what exactly carries over in NG+? Just about everything? Level, items, vocation level? Do any new enemies or quests unlock?
Does everything carry over? I mean, not current quest progress but time played, etc?

I'd say yes actually. If you still find it bland after 10-ish hours I doubt you're gonna be impressed with the rest of the game. It does get better, but it's not like it becomes a different game all of a sudden.

Yes, I can't think of anything substantial that doesn't carry over.

I sell all weapons I have no intention of using. The gold will help me more now than later when I decide I'll never actually use it.

That sword is so dumb. I didn't find an upgrade until I beat the game. Sell it and forget it ever existed.
No problemo. There's a lot of little mechanics in this game that you would never know about without stumbling on them by accident.

I disagree. I think it has a empty, bland feel that only evolves into more emptiness and blandness. Despite this, I still like the game, but it feels like a lot of miss opportunities everywhere. It sure is big, though.

Sweet.
This is true, and it's also what I was talking about previously, Sidequests are what give games like this it's personality...There is really nothing original or developed to the sidequests beyond encouraging you to explore, any of the interesting sidequests there are terribly muddled around and time sensitive that you will often miss the first time around. The world feels shallow because of that, besides some 2-3 areas of interest in the world, It's nothing terribly interesting about the architecture of the story behind it.
I will say the game definitely ramps up during story missions, endgame quests and the post game is so spectacular it's more than made up for my issues with that part of the game.
So I play a warrior now, and . . . escape slash seems to have invincibility frames. I can time it to nullify enemy attacks, which is huge for the warrior. Also made them a lot more fun.
Not using any pawn other than my main pawn now. Also hitting levels extremely quickly now, hit 20 in a very short period of time.

i am actually a very lucky guy. my char is a mage in NG+, still learning ... but i thought, let's touch the riftstone to the Ur-Dragon, just for fun. Went in, killed it (9th for me, gen 47) xD all gear dragonforged. the game loves me!

How awesome does the armor get in this game? Its one of my favorite aspects of MH and i hope Capcom carried some of their awesome design genes over.
Is there a gallery anywhere?

Easily one of this games strongest areas, in my opinion. Lots of great equipment designs.

I just watched the end credits roll and it turns out my main character is a pedophile, so uhh.....yeah.
Apparently I had the affinity with the snobby little brat Symone
After 120 or so hours, I think I'm ready to say goodbye to Gransys for now.
a duo among many, this is the final face of my journey
there are times when I felt small before a mighty enemy
or maybe just swallowed by this believable, "other" place
but the will to press onward never stopped

I really wished they fleshed out the "romance" element in this game a bit more, else removed it entirely. It's a fun little bonus when it works, but when it doesn't it can seriously fuck up an otherwise climactic moment.

So i meant to say something about this mission last night but I got too into hunting for ambushes ... - Mercedes spoilers -
Honestly.. i'm not really having any qualms with the story in the game so far. And i have yet to see this amazing ending/twist stuff go down. Lovin every minute.
Her mission where she has a duel with that Julien (?) guy was fucking harsh! 
He tore her up something fierce .. i was amped and so ready to gut that idiot the entire time and then he just walks away. I was kind of meh about it until Mercedes has her INCREDIBLY AWKWARD stare at the floor moment... not a word spoken... tanding next to this tireless assassin with no emotions who could barely care less about her trivial life bullshit. So hilarious. Then I talk to her on my way out to see if she is still mopey and she tells me that she'll never really be a warrior but when she returns she will make sure she is a Woman who can be of USE to me?? ... I said gawt damn. That dude did a serious number on her!! HAHA!

Yeah Julien was super harsh on her.
Every time he said something the only thing I could say was "Dayum."
If you interfere,
Julien is even more scathing to her, even in his dying breath he still manages to tear down poor mercedes self confidence, he comends you on being a blithering hero for "The people" while mercedes says the same thing, only instead she promises to continue training and become a true knight, and leaves forever.
Lots of weapon/armor dlc, and most likely some unlocked areas of the map as well(just assuming from the "greyed" out areas).
That's kind of pissing me off as I would have liked a steadier stream of equipment/weapons. I was thinking about lowering some stats just to get a different visual look.
Also, last night I got hit with three of those DLC notice pop-ups at the bottom. I was all,"Alright Capcom now your pushing it."

The Drake near the Shadow Fort is.. wow. I guess I'll have to keep avoiding it for a while longer.

Level 30 is a good time to tackle that guy.

Mercedes calls you a blithering hero? Or just commends you for being a badass and gets all down in the gutters on herself for being so weak? And I'm assuming that since you said "leaves forever" she will eventually return in my game since I did not interfere with the fight?

So I haven't seen the shops in Gran Soren get new equipment in forever.
Is the rest of my equipment just going to be drops or is there a certain story point where this happens?

As far as I can tell, you never see either of them again.
I guess I worded it wrong, mercedes says the same thing if you dont interfere, same dialogue with a different bit at the end, julien is the one saying all the assholish stuff.

Whoa whoa! Moldy carrot trick? Gimme details!
Lola in Cassardis sells carrots for like 67 gold each, you just buy as many as you can, go rest in the inn for three days, and when they turn moldy she'll buy them for like 150 each. :lol
So just load up your pawns and yourself and do it a few times and bam, million gold to start.

You can get 4,000,000G just by selling Ur-Dragon loot, but I guess that carrot is good for beginners.
I've got a few screenshots I've uploaded which show some of the various armor sets I and my pawn have worn if that helps.
