New Game Plus

New Game Plus (or "New Game+") is a recurring feature in the Final Fantasy series that allows the player to start a new game after they complete the game for the first time, normally players begin with rare items or abilities from their previous game.

Final Fantasy IV
The Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV includes a New Game Plus features which allows the player to keep any unassigned Augments and to fight some Superbosses that are only available in the second or third playthrough. New Game Plus also allows the player to view the ending again in the Event Theater and listen to the epilogue in the Music Box

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
After completing the game once, players choose a New Game+ option, which allows them to replay the game with all the same items, Materia, level, and equipment they had when they finished the game the first time. However, all DMW characters are lost, except for Angeal and Sephiroth, along with all Mission Data. Zack's weapon returns to being a regular sword rather than the Buster Sword. After completing the game again, there is a "New Game++" option, which acts the same way. There is, however, no new content that can be found on these replays.

Final Fantasy X
New Game+ is not included as an option in Final Fantasy X, but it is possible to edit a Final Fantasy X saved game to send it back to the beginning of the game, effectively making a New Game+. In some versions of Final Fantasy X: International, there is a glitch that allows the player to go back in time to the events in Home, and play through the game again from that point. Videos of hacking to get a New Game+ and of the New Game+ glitch can be found on YouTube.

Final Fantasy X-2
A New Game Plus feature was also included in Final Fantasy X-2 and allowed the player to keep any experience they had gained toward Dressphere abilities, accessories and Key Items, like Al Bhed Primers.

Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System
In the international version of Final Fantasy XII two New Game+ modes are available. Strong Mode, where all characters begin at level 90, and Weak Mode, where all characters begin at level 1 and never level up. Nothing carries over into these new save files.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
The New Game Plus feature is implimented here, under the name Start +. Virtually everything from the old file is carried over to the new one, including party members and mercenaries, character levels, equipped armor, and the entire inventory.

Vagrant Story
The New Game Plus feature is available only all player's who have completed the game, allowing them to replay the game with the same weapons and stats as the end of their first journey. They are also given the item "Rood Inverse" which allows them to enter new passageways originally blocked-off during the first playthrough, such as the Iron Maiden.
