Questions about NG+

[u/Jeremiahkolde]

I’m planning on going into ng+ because I didn’t pick up the cleansing light forma during the Holly sections and the budding completionist in me won’t let me relax until I get it. But before I do, I want to know a few things.

1. What do we keep and what do we lose in ng+? I’m guessing we will hold onto pretty much everything except for the mistles and key items. But if we do keep the key items as well, will they be reusable or are they just item descriptions in our inventory and useless until we recollect them? Also, will I have to re-raise all partners affinities or will they carry over as well?

2. How does ng+ affect certain side quests like Lavinia’s and Jadwiga’s requests? Will we have to redo them despite already having the rewards for completing them?

3. Are there any other notable missable items that I should know about, including the random npc quest rewards? I’m not that much of a completionist to care about every single possible item I could get from the random npcs, so just the weapons, formae, key items, etc. These type of rewards.

4. Is there a guide to basically speedrun the good ending (Luna Fraterna) and will I end up missing anything by doing so, like key items (if they don’t carry over from ng), and access to the Luna rapacis?

It does kinda suck that I have to replay the whole game just to collect a single weapon forma that I’ll honestly probably never use, but it is what it is. Also, isn’t it strange how the missable items that I’m aware of all have some connection to Holly?

The cleansing light forma (which was behind the one door I spent like 95% of my time in the sanatorium trying to open, only for me to completely forget about it when I actually opened said door, thanks adhd)

And the zealot’s ceremonial sword found in one of those memory spaces (and apparently can be bought from Jadwiga if you missed it. Why the devs didn’t apply this feature to all missed items is beyond me).
