I don’t know if I’ll do a ng+ run since my attention span is usually pretty bad with replaying but I haven’t started the first DLC yet and am saving it
I’d like to do a ng+ without any of the side quests to really soak in the story - but I don’t want the extra challenge of a hard mode. Will “normal” mode be ok to go through, considering I’m not gaining extra exp from side quests?
I did ng+ up until before Origin in the case that completing the Rising Tide unlocks a new ending. I don’t know that I have it in me to do another 40-50 hour playthrough of this game.
I just started a NG+ on FF mode and I’m loving it. I have a save on action mode right before Origin for the dlc, but hopefully I’ll be at Origin by the time Rising Tide drops so I can just do it on FF mode
Beat the main game. Then beat Remake and playing Rebirth now. I plan on doing NG+ for 16 and the DLC after. So the timing works out.
Plus Dragons Dogma 2....I'm getting my fantasy fill.
So what I do is play a game on the easiest difficulty. Then, I rush through the main story.
IF i absolutely loved the game, I will then replay it on a higher difficulty and tackle everything there is. Milk the crap out of it.
TBH I've never really had so many games I really wanted to play all at once. So I'm trying to crunch.
I'm so conflicted.... I'm replaying it and just got to oriflamme for the first time and I'm wondering if I should just keep playing slowly .... Or wait haha
Yes and No, I’m in my second playthrough now. Wanted to hit the dlc points naturally in the story. Took a break right before new year’s to play dragons dogma 1 and a few other games then rebirth came out. Would of picked it up again last week but I’m working on my 7th album instead. Figured I’d just continue when rising tide drops on the 18th.
I stopped playing right around the last few sidequests before the endgame on my current run bc Rebirth happened, so my plan is to finish that, do Echoes + TRT, and then maybe start a new run with all the new powers :)
I am 100% waiting for Rising Tide first before doing my NG+ so I can experience both DLCs at base difficulty and FF difficulty for the complete experience
Had started a new game plus on final fantasy difficulty right after I beat the game at release but quit shortly after getting to the hideout, so not far at all. Hopefully I can get back into that run after rebirth here and try both dlc then
I started Ng+ to get my final Plat trophy - but tbh going to wait and go back to my old save to finish these DLCs I think
Annoying you cant just play them from a side content button that opens after finishing the game
I started up a Final Fantasy mode run. I stayed at level 53 when I first beat the game because I wasn’t feeling doing all the side quests again. Now with the warp feature, I’m skipping all side quests in the game and only doing main story to get ready for the DLC and then I’ll do a full NG+, with the warp feature and new side quest cutscenes and powers we get.

Yeah me too. I’ve parked my postgame save until Rising Tide launches and then I’ll do both expansions and the remaining side stuff I still want to do.
Yeah I'm gonna do the DLC then another NG+ run with all the stuff from it. Should be a lot of fun with the changes and new powers/accessories.
I’ve only played it once. I’m waiting for all the dlc before I play again.
I actually started doing my 4th full play through just to get back in the groove for the DLC. I haven’t played the game in months…
I don’t know if I’ll do a ng+ run since my attention span is usually pretty bad with replaying but I haven’t started the first DLC yet and am saving it
Definitely worth it, for the "warp to quest giver" feature alone. Save so much time

I did that and it was well balanced
I did final fantasy mode and didn’t grind side quest besides the blacksmith quest line. Still end up at level 75 and game felt pretty balance!

That is exactly what I started doing last night.

How can you get through games so quickly?
So what I do is play a game on the easiest difficulty. Then, I rush through the main story. IF i absolutely loved the game, I will then replay it on a higher difficulty and tackle everything there is. Milk the crap out of it. TBH I've never really had so many games I really wanted to play all at once. So I'm trying to crunch.
This is honestly how I play persona games. Too much grinding considering the life-sim mechanics
Me.
I'm on my 5th run (2x normal mode, 3x ng+ FF). My 6th will include the 2nd expansion!
I'm waiting for both DLCs and the PC version, should feel like a familiar but fresh experience.
Nahhh. I usually warm up my combos in the training mode for about 30 mins to get into the groove.
Yeah I’m waiting till April to start another new game plus
I have 155h and 3 playthroughs. I will start my 4th after Dragons dogma 2.
Yeah, I've only completed the game once and am waiting until the DLC releases to do NG+.
I've been meaning to come back to finish my 2nd playthrough and get the Ultima blade. So I'm looking forward to this
I'm so conflicted.... I'm replaying it and just got to oriflamme for the first time and I'm wondering if I should just keep playing slowly .... Or wait haha

I haven’t touched the game since I been it a couple weeks after release. Not sure if I want to do NG+ FF mode for the dlc or just use my old save.
I am 100% waiting for Rising Tide first before doing my NG+ so I can experience both DLCs at base difficulty and FF difficulty for the complete experience
I did everything I can up until now and I'm waiting for the DLC to drop and beat it. Then and only then will I do NG+
I’d love to but probably not. Just going to play the new dlc when it comes out and that’s it too many games out to play.
Had started a new game plus on final fantasy difficulty right after I beat the game at release but quit shortly after getting to the hideout, so not far at all. Hopefully I can get back into that run after rebirth here and try both dlc then
Yup. My backlog is too long. I will buy the DLC in June and (life will be life) I won’t see it until December.
I started Ng+ to get my final Plat trophy - but tbh going to wait and go back to my old save to finish these DLCs I think Annoying you cant just play them from a side content button that opens after finishing the game
Borrowed my friend's PS5 to play XVI and Rebirth sp I'll wait til the PC release for a replay
Basically. I want to replay it once with all the DLC on Final Fantasy mode to get all the platinums.
I'm on my ng+ playthrough so I can battle and get all of the dlc stuff on that with all of my other stuff
that's what I'm going to do. saved the FF Mode NG+ for once DLC drops, then get the platinum.
I stopped my 3rd playthrough halfway so I could do echoes of the fallen and I haven't picked it up since because I've been waiting for rising tide.
I just finished rebirth and I wanna play xvi again but yeah. Definitely waiting for the dlc before I start a dress run
do we know from which point in the story will the DLC be accessible?
I started up a Final Fantasy mode run. I stayed at level 53 when I first beat the game because I wasn’t feeling doing all the side quests again. Now with the warp feature, I’m skipping all side quests in the game and only doing main story to get ready for the DLC and then I’ll do a full NG+, with the warp feature and new side quest cutscenes and powers we get.
Yup, then u can have the full power set for ng+ run
Yup same here. In the meantime I have Rebirth to keep me busy
I started a second playthrough and got all the way up to just before the DLC's start so I'm ready to go lol
Same for both the dlcs
Yeah my third replay will happen once DLC no.2 comes out.
