Unlock Chrono Trigger's New Game+. Learn what carries over, how to achieve multiple endings, and enjoy a stronger replay experience.

New Game+ Features

Chrono Trigger's New Game+ (NG+) feature offers a unique and rewarding way to experience the game again, allowing players to carry over progress and tackle the adventure with a fresh perspective. This mode is designed to encourage exploration of different choices, endings, and optional content.

Upon completing the game, you'll have the option to start a New Game+ or Continue+. Choosing New Game+ allows you to restart the story from the beginning, but with several key advantages carried over from your previous playthrough.

Key Features of New Game+

  • Carry Over Levels and Stats: Your characters retain their levels, stats, and learned Techs. This means you'll start the game significantly stronger, allowing you to breeze through early challenges and experiment with different party compositions from the outset.
  • Carry Over Gold: All your accumulated Gold is preserved, ensuring you have ample funds for purchasing the best equipment right from the start.
  • Carry Over Equipment and Items: Most equipment and items are carried over. However, key items crucial to plot progression in the initial playthrough (like certain quest items) may not carry over, ensuring the story still unfolds correctly.
  • Carry Over Elements (Chrono Cross): In Chrono Cross, Elements are a core mechanic, and many carry over. However, specific powerful or plot-critical Elements might not transfer.
  • Multiple Endings: The primary draw of NG+ is the ability to achieve the game's numerous endings. By altering your choices and the timing of your confrontation with Lavos, you can unlock different narrative conclusions.
  • New Challenges: With your enhanced power, you can more easily tackle optional bosses and explore areas you might have missed on your first playthrough.

The New Game+ feature transforms Chrono Trigger into a highly replayable experience. It encourages players to experiment with different strategies, explore every nook and cranny of the world, and witness the full breadth of the game's narrative possibilities. It's a testament to the game's enduring des and its commitment to player freedom.
