Lorenz Lamperouge MergedAt present, the game does not support multi week inheritance, which is not conducive to repeated challenges for players who like watching the story. It is suggested to add multi item inheritance function, so that players can experience the plot again without repeated cultivation.

Randy NgelaleIf/where possible maybe let classes carry over too and adjust the enemy classes to compensate? Maybe only after a few of the intro chapters when we camp since the first set of battles in the village as rag tag mercenaries is still cool.

Allan AhrensCarry over characters would be fun (so you can spend more time with otherwise late-game characters).

ManilaDjoI'd prefer the feature to be inspired by Trails games, in the sense you would carry over the relationship progression with the characters.
And that alone.
That would mean you would be able to hire recruits instantly if you fulfilled the recruitment requirement during the initial playthrough. That would also mean tje game should remember which discussion topics you chose over a meal, training, etc...
A new game mode all leveled up and geared would not be interesting to me as there would be no challenge left whatsoever. -

ElliaFor NG+
Only transfer items, weapons/armors (w unique items) and horses ?
Only my opinion, I would be curious to see what others think -

NickWhat about, instead of hard-locking it to NG+ having -specifically- certain items carried over, there were instead sliders that allowed players to select what is actually brought over? Don't like the thought of levels? Don't have to have them! Don't want items? Don't pick 'em! However, if you want to unlock Karin from the very beginning, select the characters!

AlanI believe accessibility is key in this regard due to the idea of gradual progression being an integral part of the game's mechanics and journey. For any sort of content carry-over I think implementing a "Opt-in" system or toggle system to be the best possibly solution. Like some have mentioned prior to my own post, being able to select the different aspects to carry into the NG+ allows players to customize their experience.
Options to toggle:
-Inventory (Consumables & Money)
-Weapons&Armor excluding Unique or intended Singular Items
-Rapports to allow for easier access to recruit characters
-Mounts
-Weapon and Armor Levels
-Prestige Levels
-Classes
Again I would like to reiterate that the possible best way of implementing these features is via a "Toggle Features Menu"
Thanks for a great game! -

Derek RhineCan rigged stat gains be replaces with traditional FE style growth rates, letting new builds emerge as possibilities by having more unit stat diversity? all units being within 3 def of each other and 4 hp of each other is very artificial and jarring, and NG+ would be a great place to allow the possibilities of RNG to define characters as greater, or lesser, as fate would dictate! This would add tremendous replayability that having static statted characters would not provide

ODS GeeK AdminThe wait is almost over--New Game+ will be coming this month!
You can find what goes into New Game+ here: https://oceandrive.studio/2022/11/15/a-letter-from-ocean-drive-studio-one-month-recap/
Also, New Game+ mode will let you change equipment starting in Ch. 1 battle, which should give you more freedom to explore different equipment mastery options. -
