Episode Replay - Unlocking Stuff

[kumabushi]

How does episode replay work exactly? Does it just tack on stuff to your current point in the story if you get items you didn't get before? Though I'm debating just playing through without focusing on the items and enjoying the story first, since I hear there's a New Game+ option apparently.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am going to test this out, and will report back if you can keep stuff from replaying an episode in later episodes
It seems likely though, since the option to replay previous episodes is there

Thanks! I had abandoned this because there was a lot of stuff to collect that could be easily missed, so confirmation would allow me to just Play and enjoy. Some parts of the story are quite lengthy to redo.

Okay so here's what I've figured out:

You can replay an episode, when you start fight you will hae all the combos and sensens you've unlocked up to your most current save and your health bar is also the same as your latest save. You do NOT have any speical abilities (the ones with cooldown timers) unless they would have been unlocked at the time.

previously picked up Mnesist memories and SAT patches are gone, but ones you missed can be picked up, adding to your collectables.

I was warned that replaying an episode might work against getting the achivements for playing through on one difficultly. Since I picked the same difficultly I don't know if this will prevent me from getting an achivment later, but if it does I'll try to remember to come back and say so.

Hope this helps!
