In the world of role-playing games, reaching the end credits is not always the final curtain call. Persona 5 Tactica is no different as it continues the Persona series’ tradition of treating their players to a New Game Plus (NG+) mode after they complete the main storyline. However, many players seem to be confused about what this game mode entails and what elements it allows to be carried over from the initial playthrough. So, without further ado, let’s dispel all the confusion surrounding the NG+ mode in Persona 5 Tactica.
What Is NG+ Mode In Persona 5 Tactica?
Known as Clear Data in Persona 5 Tactica, the New Game Plus (NG+) mode is a special feature that becomes accessible after the completion of the main storyline. This mode provides players with the opportunity to replay the entire game with a difficulty level of their choosing.
How To Access NG+ Mode In Persona 5 Tactica?
You can access the NG+ mode in Persona 5 Tactica by following the below steps:
- Complete the main story. Play through the game until you reach the end of the main story. After defeating the final boss, you’ll see the end credits roll and the post-credits scene. Once the end credits finish, you’ll have unlocked Clear Data, marking the completion of the main story and the availability of NG+ mode.
- Choose a save slot. You’ll have to choose a save slot for your Clear Data. It’s important to be careful at this step, as overriding a previous save with the new Clear Data would leave you unable to resume the game from where you left off in the overridden save.
- Start NG+ mode. Now, whenever you want to play NG+ mode, simply load the Clear Data on the main menu.
What Transfers Over To NG+ Mode In Persona 5 Tactica?
Several elements from your initial playthrough will be carried over to the NG+ mode in Persona 5 Tactica. Here’s a detailed list of everything that’ll be transferred:
- Phantom Thieves level. Whether it be unlocking new abilities or increasing your combat effectiveness, the level of your Phantom Thieves is a crucial aspect of the game.
- Persona Compendium. All the Personas that you’ve collected in your initial playthrough will be available from the start in NG+ mode. All your fused Personas will also be available.
- Unlocked skills. All the skills that you carefully invested your GP in will be transferred to each character.
- Items. All the items you’ve collected or crafted in your previous playthrough will be available in the NG+ mode.
- Money. You don’t have to worry about wallets emptying while stepping into the NG+ mode, as the money you’ve accumulated during your initial playthrough is carried over.
- Latest report menu data. The report menu in Persona 5 Tactica provides a summary of your game progress, including details about completed quests, character levels, and other statistics.
- Overall play time. The total time you’ve spent playing the game in your first playthrough is recorded and continues to accumulate in NG+ mode.
So basically, everything but the unlockables in the main story will be transferred to the NG+ mode. Quite neat, isn’t it? And this isn’t even all this game mode has to offer, as you’re rewarded with one final thing for completing the main story.
