New Game Plus Carry Over

What Carries Over to NG+
Archetypes Status Royal Virtues MAG and Money Items Scanned Enemies Memorandum Gold Beetle Progress Total Play Time

Archetypes Status

All your progress in your Archetypes carries over to New Game Plus. This means you can access and switch to any Archetype you unlocked during your previous playthrough, allowing you to start strong and gain access to more powerful weapons early in the game.

All 46 Archetypes and How to Unlock

Royal Virtues

All progress to your Royal Virtues will also transfer to the New Game Plus. This allows you to free up some days that you would normally allot to boost these as you progress!

With the free days, you can choose to either progress Follower Bonds, do Side Quests, or even try to unlock some trophies or achievements to get platinum!

All Royal Virtues and Priority

MAG & Money

All currencies from your previous save file will transfer to New Game Plus. This means both your Reeves and MAG will be accessible in the new save file, allowing you to start rich these resources.

Items

Your entire inventory will also be transferred to New Game Plus, allowing you to access late-game items such as expensive consumables, rare collectibles, and powerful weapons and gear!

However, do note that not all items will be transferred. Key items, for example, may not be transferred, as you can obtain these as you progress.

List of All Equipment

Scanned Enemies

All scanned enemies and bosses will also be transferred to New Game Plus. This allows you to enter battles already knowing the weaknesses and other affinities of each enemy you'll encounter again as you progress, assuming you scanned them the first time!

List of All Enemies

Memorandum

The Memorandum contains records of important notes you've gathered in your previous save file. These will also be transferred to your New Game Plus, so make sure to check them out in case you need to refresh on some new terms or character profiles.

Gold Beetle Progress

You can also continue hunting for Gold Beetles in New Game Plus! This means you can collect them again, allowing you to go beyond 50 Gold Beetles!

You'll also have the chance to revisit any Gold Beetles you missed from previous months, dungeons, or side quests!

Total Play Time

Starting a new save file in New Game Plus will not reset your total play time! You can continue your progress in the game without your total play time being affected in the new save.

How Long to Beat Metaphor: ReFantazio

New Game Plus Boss

Redscale Dragon

The New Game Plus also features an exclusive superboss. You can challenge the Redscale Dragon by examining the Book of Apocalypse in the Akademeia. Although accessible early, it's best to wait until you're in mid to late game, or at least Level 70, to take on this superboss.

Keep in mind that this is exclusive to all difficulty levels except Storyteller, meaning that you won't be able to challenge the Redscale Dragon in Storyteller mode, even if you have a New Game Plus.

New Game Plus New Features

Regicide Difficulty

In addition to the new superboss mentioned above, New Game Plus also unlocks Regicide. This new difficulty is the most challenging, and you can expect tougher enemies and longer battles. Make sure to take advantage of your previous progress when attempting this difficulty level!

Difficulty Differences and Settings Guide

How to Access New Game Plus

Complete the Main Story

You can only access and start the New Game Plus feature after clearing the main story of the game. This is regardless of whether you get the True Ending or not!

Save Clear Data

After clearing the game, right after the ending cutscene, you'll receive a prompt for New Game Plus! Simply select a save file, and you can start an entirely new game with all the carry-overs mentioned above!

The NG+ save file will have a star on it, so if you want to create a separate playthrough, you can just access that one instead.
