      You still get the stats from your max Archetypes right when you get them. Also it is better off to just hold on to your Stat increase items for the NG+ run since stats reset cause you are level one. I remember i missed a beetle in the demo so I started the retail game over and got to the end of the demo in like 2 hours cause I was skipping all scenes. Also I been hearing there is a food you make that gives you extra turns, so it seem if you make a shit load of them you just bombard the super boss so he never gets a turn.

      I agree. I could accept having to unlock the base class through story and then getting access to all classes that come after, but even that sucks. Also, if they're going to reset levels, there should be an early game exp farming area that gets unlocked in new game +. I hear your stat boosts don't even carry over. So, any items you used and and baths you took don't count.

    @InfinityZeroEX Місяць тому +17

    Another thing to point out on New Game+ Archetypes, is that if they are maxed out you will gain the bonus stats for them being maxed out after unlocking them again. So the more maxed out Archetypes you unlock, the more your stats will rise back up. Like if you maxed seeker and then unlocked it you will get the +20 hp back instantly, it just doesn’t tell you that for some reason.

      @ it doesn’t exactly have much of a post game, I mean there is a short scene after you defeat the main boss where it shows you the fruits of your labor as king a year after Louis Met his demise so the game does infact show you what happens after you become king (that is assuming you got the real true ending) there is a boss that’s exclusively locked behind new game plus and it’s pretty difficult end game boss that requires you to make contact with a specific dangerous book in akedemia.

    So question for you. I beat the game and I'm on No Game Plus so when I eventually unlock the archetypes you're saying they'll be at the level I finished them at? So like I got all my archetypes to level 99 and they were maxed so that's where I'll start?

    • @thatbloomer5642
      @thatbloomer5642 10 днів тому

      Once you unlocked them, they will be at the level you left them at in the previous playthrough. So, if your archetype is on rank Master, it'd retain that rank upon unlocking. However, you can only unlock these archetypes via completing followers bond which is deeply tied to story progression. Meaning, to get Berserker, you'll have to wait until near the end of the game when you acquired Basilio. Also, archetypes maxed out at rank 20. If you're talking about level, regardless of what level you and your party's at prior to the ending, you'll reset back to level 1 on NG+.

      When you get critted or weakness exploited, you receive 3x damage so it's very easy to die. On the other hand, you have your endgame gear and consumables so you can stomp bosses until late game. I pretty much 1-2 shotted earlier bosses.

    When I got access to the Royal Archetypes, I started questioning why the Hell I would use anything else in the game (with the exception of Royal Masked Dancer which is just kinda ass tbh...), and was worried I'd never use the other archetypes again except for Hero Passives on my MC. Now, I can't wait to NG+ and I plan to switch up all the archetypes. Maybe I'll do mainly a Knight Strohl this playthrough, Warrior Hulkenburg and Mage MC.

      But some archetypes are only accessible in the last act of the game, particularly the royals. Also, just because you kept the progression, your follower bonds are reset anyway, therefore there's a literal time gate before you even gain access to use them. Like Eupha and Bas, are late game companions, meaning to get their abilities you need to spent roughly 60 percent of the entire game just to get to Eupha and a bit more longer to get to Bas. That does not include the time it takes to redo their bonds again. Neuras' Dragoon literally only unlockable prior to the last dungeon of the entire the game.

      No romance. Keep that out. Atlus can't write good romance and it doesn't really fit the story at all here
