New Game Plus Question ( spoilers ofc )

[ShikiX | Horo]

So when you complete the first 2 endings, the next time you start the game Lydia will have new dialogue that transitions into the new opening cinematic.

Once you saw that and exit the game again the cinematic is available on the bonus stuff etc. but I didn't find a way to replay Lydias Dialogue anymore. Does anyone know if and how its possible?

My problem is that no matter what, the game shows me the new screen now, so I cant make the game NOT recognize that I saw it already.

But I really wanna rewatch the dialogue scene of Lydia.

[HGH]

Have you checked the cutscene viewer or story chart for it?

[ShikiX | Horo]

Yes but I couldnt find it. I searched the whole bonus section lol

If you just want to rewatch that scene, you can do it in YouTube. I found these two links:

JA voices
ENG voices

Rewatching it inside the game again could be tricky. The flowchart as well as the ending completion are tied to the game itself, not to a specific save file. Probably is not so difficult to reset that by going into the folder with the save files and deleting / editing the system save. I haven't tried though.

If you are doing NG+, be careful when skipping cutscenes. There are some new important ones at the end of each day.

Thanks for the info.

Well I would try to copy/paste out save files if that would be possible to do but the game also uses cloud sync etc. which makes the whole thing even more annoying.

And thanks for the videos. Even tho ♥♥♥. Voice eng sub would be preffered.

Im just really annoyed by the fact you cannot replay it.

Also about this, is it just at the End of Days aka around the school events?
I can skip the rest? Because if not, then I would literally have to read everything a second time which would be kinda annoying.

They happen after the mission at night and returning to the dorm. It's always the last cutscene before the date changes, so you can safely skip everything before that. You can check this in the flowchart. The days where you are missing a cutscene don't show as "complete" (you can even check the approximate moment where the unknown cutscene is supposed to happen).

There are also a few new cutscenes during daytime, but those are more difficult to miss since you can select them. I have read that for some of them to appear you need to do the side quests as soon as possible. I did them anyway, but I didn't check if they don't appear if you don't do the side quests.

Oh yeah Rekotron one more question if you dont mind since you seem knowledge able, in games like these I tend to forget the earlier parts because so much "mystery" happens etc.

And now that I started NG+ I was wondering, whats up with Mais visions? Did she kill Vina? Or what was exactly up with that? I cant seem to remember.

[Rekotron]

About Mai's visions, as far as I remember, they haven't been explicitly explained in the game (I could be wrong though). However, I think we can make a good guess here.

Essentially, what I think is that Mai's visions are events that happened in past cycles of the town. About Vina, It doesn't seem like she killed her in the game timeline, but it could have happened in a previous one. Hence the vision. Victorie and Chitsuba vision works similar, but this time it still happened in the game timeline, as well as in previous ones. The most interesting one is Abigail vision, where depending on the choice you took beforehand, the vision will be true or not (but Mai still see the same vision anyways).

There is some evidence for that. First, the evidence that Mai's story has already happened at least once (but in different ways) is brought by Arata himself. Apart from knowing everything that was going to happen, he stated in the Strain Area: "I'm stuck in a timeloop myself. And I've seen a future where you fail...". As a side note, the programmed timer that was mentioned very early in the game (after getting the laptop) is probably the one that triggers Arata's recordings in the last part of the game. To be able to make the recordings to help Mai where she should have failed otherwise means that her story might have repeated at least as many times as there are recordings.

There is also evidence about remembering past worlds. Aside from the first game, in the normal ending, Marie has a vague memory of Rottie (despite never knowing her in the new timeline) and Vina has a vague memory of being killed. Interestingly, one of Arata's searches in his search history in the laptop was "memory leaks", which is another piece of circumstantial evidence.

Nothing support 100% this, but it seems consistent.
