Yeah. Doesn't matter which playthrough you do it on, as long as you do the 90 sub events on that specific playthrough.
Right, it's just slightly more unforgiving on Milla's side because she has less total sub-events available.

Finished Jude's story, 60 hours.
The Grade in my save file is 4500. Recommend me things to buy for my Milla NG+ folks. I am thinking the 5x experience, 2x experience, then.... maybe double gald, double item drop, double material exp for shops, 30 items.... what else.....
Gonna be annoyed that it seems I won't be carrying shop levels though... Items, Armor, Food, and Accessory were all at level 80-ish with weapons at level 93... ah well, hopefully double item drop and double material exp can help smooth things up.
I am gonna use a guide to 100% the next file.
Is the counter number for stuff like "Have Alvin breaks enemies x450 times* resets to zero? Because if it is, I am gonna be pissed.....

Devils arms inherited as well as xp boost and shop level is pretty much it.
Don't bother with the 30 items in my opinion. You don't need the increased limit.
Your link skill usages don't reset, no. The only trophy's which have to be done on a single playthrough are chests, loot, aifread's treasures and subquests. Skits is a single playthrough, but all the skits you've unlocked carry over so you can just watch them all again, and then find some you missed.

Devil arms, huh.... The fell best isn't that difficult to beat again so for me it seems a waste to give 500 points just to carry them over while I can just as easily beat them again.
Hmmm, perhaps you are correct....
As for skill usage, is it cumulative from the last save file? By that I mean, although the number does not reset: say, I have Alvin's breaks at 225, if I do another breaks with him immediately in the new game file will it raise to 226 or will it actually still stay at 225 until I reach 225 in my NG+ file and perform another one to raise it to 226?
Sorry, if this sound confusing, but that's the impression I got from reading some posts in gamefaqs about this... but maybe I am misremembering things.
The weapons aren't available until the end of the game and with the arms in early game you can continue to stack the weapons strength to cap after each fight, they will one shot everything until mid game and even then they will be so powered up its ridiculous. Even bosses fall over after a couple of hits.
As for 5xexp, thats for level capping at end game and the shop levels are for the 100% exp food.
It raises it.
I'm glad RoF is in my backlog now. This was a +1 to the purchase.
New game plus is definitely the easier choice. You will have to level up again from level 1, but the XP boost + food XP 100% boost in boss battles (and normal ones in normal battles) will make you level up like a thousand levels in one battle. lol
Kk, ill just finish up everything else and leave the sub quests-levels-shop levels for new game plus.
Uhh...chapter 1? I think you're on chapter 4 lol.

Wait really? I heard Chapter 1 was the longest...can't believe I'm actually that far in

I clocked at around 38 hours, game isn't terribly long,
This sucks. Since I knew I had finished chapter 1 I read your spoiler...and you are WAY past chapter 1.
You should edit to make it clear so other peoples experiences aren't ruined.

I know the enemy sage trophy does as I used the exclusive monsters in Milla's Part 4 route to get enough for that.
I imagine the item ones does as well as they are probably going off the number of entries you have in your item book.
Ah thanks.
They both carry over. Not sure if you can even get the enemy sage trophy through just playing one side of the story, it would be very tight if you could.
I managed to get both, although I'm almost sure I fought all the enemies that wander around in fields, I beat the optional bosses, cleared the coliseum, and went through the bonus dungeon once before I got the enemy trophy.
Hmm. I fought all enemy's around the fields besides 1 in the
Temporal Cross roads
I did the bonus dungeon(Although only once as I'd read there wasn't any new mob entries), and I got the bacuras besides the gold one if one existed(Was what I was on about, couldn't remember the name before
). Not sure about new enemy's spawning though. Doesn't matter either way, was doing a 2nd play through regardless. Ended up just getting it on Milla's specific areas. Which brings me to a point actually, although Milla has less subquests, I think she has more mobs thanks to her specific areas.

"We apologize"
"For defeating you"
"And stealing (taking?) your items"
"They're just spoils of war"
Gets me everytime.
Ooof so sorry mate >_<.

Tbh how did you think you just finished chapter 1? Every time you finish a chapter you get a trophy that explicitly states which chapter you finished... That's 3 trophies!

I thought they were one of those collection or milestone trophies @3@
OK so I just met
Maxwell
2000ish years ago the world began utilizing Spyrix where they destory spirits to achieve...stuff like electricity and what have you.
Maxwell disapproved of this and along with others who had Mana Lobes and with some spirits and animals left to a new world which became Rieze Maxia. In doing so he sealed both worlds aparts via the Schism.
OK that's fine and dandy, but my question is: How did Alvin and others make it into Rieze Maxia 20 years ago? What happened 20 years ago that allowed for Exodus to enter into RM for him to create Milla as bait?
Other than that...
the same

Fucking seriously Bamco?

The story doesn't play out differently, you just see it from Milla's perspective instead of Jude's. There's minor variances in some of the cutscenes, and at all the points where Milla and Jude have seperated, you see what Milla does. I think it gives more depth to Milla, as well as Leia and Alvin who I'd argue you see more of on Milla's side.
I enjoyed my second playthrough, you can get through it pretty quickly if you pick up the XP boosts from the grade store(and use food, of course), means you can ignore the random mobs and just do the bosses.
They are told from her perspective yes, there is some exclusive dialogue.
there are also some exclusive areas/enemies etc.
She also has some different sub quests
like 3
I just started NG+ after doing a ton of stuff on my original save prepairing, but in the beggining i can tell you i liked judes entry point a ton more.
Millas story seems like its made for peoples second playthrough judging from that starting point, which was really bland in comparison to judes.
I may change my mind at some point, but i havent heard the best things either, so we will see i guess.
It's definitely more of a second playthrough thing, however I really don't think it's that bad.
So I just beat the game myself last night, enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would on almost every front. I think I'm going to grind out most of the trophies on this except for the level 99 one (since that seems easier to achieve with xp boosts from grade) and then jump into NG+ with as much as I can to go for the platinum.
I do have a question though, do the cosmetic items carry over into NG+? Cause I don't think I can do another play through
also as far as I can tell every character should always be wearing the sweet hat from black feathers + sunglasses
Also, should I do the post game dungeon/boss dude on my first play through, second, or both?

You can carry cosmetic items, yep, need to buy it in the grade shop for ng+ though. Cant remember the price, but I don't think it is expensive.
And about the dungeon, its up to you. If you want to grind for some extra trophies before going for ng+... But I think its better to do so in your second playthrough with all the bonuses from the grade shop.
Good to know, at some point early this morning I woke up and made it to a save point in that dungeon while being half asleep, so, I guess I will just keep going with it to see if I can clear it or not.
edit: ended up fighting and winning no problem, the fact that opportune moment is a link ability is pretty game breaking imo. I just sort of froze time the entire fight and punched like a madman. Still a fun fight, though, died on my first try then got it on the second.
Yeah, it certainly is more of a challenge than the rest of the bosses, but it still doesn't touch beating the Colosseum single battles with Rowen on the hardest difficulties. That was... something else.
I can't believe the "Subevent Superhero" trophy can't unlock on a NG+, like WTH Namco? I'm playing as Milla now and I've done a bunch of new subevents that I forgot to do as Jude like
and it still shows "75/90" subevents completed.
Really dumb that the other titles carry over but not that one. This is making me put off on finishing Milla's side. On a funnier note I was THIS close to the "no gummy" skit and I forgot to turn off auto item and right before Xian Du someone used an apple gel..FML lol
talking to Ivar before meeting Elize, Milla's Pendant, Alvin's mom subquest

Other than the final fight, it's pretty much Tidal Wave spamming. If you've upped your Fireball count and get a Time Stop backstep, then the last battle becomes pretty simple too. Of course, the hard part is getting that backstep without getting destroyed...
I really, really hate when final bosses don't give any experience or gald.
The story became a pointless mess toward the end, but I don't really care about that... I was seriously tired of
, though.
Final grade count: 5500.
I just need to farm for a few titles before I start Milla's side and finish the extra dungeon... how long is it?

The extra dungeon is pretty short if you just rush through it.
It's just a series of rooms until you reach the boss with save points every now and then.

Yeah, you really need that sub event guide from the beginning on, thats what i have been doing.
You have to start over, but you can still get them all in one playthrough.
NG+ is hilarious, killed Folzam at level 38 on intermediate lol.
Yeah I think the whole thing took me less than hour (though I was half asleep for part of it). I've went back a few times since and it seems more of a place to farm easy expansion mats for your shops more than anything. I'm close to maxing all of them now.
Some spells increase range and some other artes get additional effects.
