New Game Plus not unlocked

[ZigFB]

Ok, so I beat the game and got some unlocked cosmetics. I was like "hey, I want to try out New Game Plus and see these new options everyone talks about!" Here's the problem: There is no New Game Plus option unlocked for me. I just have regular New Game. What's going on here?

Same here, but nobody seems to have an answer. So for now I'm just leveling characters up!

Well... this is odd, to say the least.
Would be one hell of an oversight if the improved New Game + isn't available for those who haven't gotten New Game + yet.

But finding a fix has been super annoying lol

I just restarted from scratch and kept a save at the end. I'm annoyed because now I have to rely on luck to get my favorite outfits back.

I am experiencing this issue as well. I have completed the main campaign and it says I have unlocked new game plus but there is no option to do so from the main screen, only the option to start a normal new game. I thought maybe this was because they revert the save to a pre-final stage mode but I have no story missions available in my original game to complete other than the dlc ones. The post-story Transia missions are available and I have done several. Completing story/basic missions and sleeping to the next day changes nothing. I tried talking to Caretaker as that was how you triggered the final story mission previously, but she just spits back canned lines referencing I will "soon take down Lilith", even though I have already beaten her.

did any one find a solution to this problem? just recently beat the game and wanted to try for a new game plus but its not showing up. cant seem to find a solution anywhere.

To anyone still having this problem, found a thread that found some *possible* solutions.

A few comments down, people were finding it may be related to the tutorial system. Here's what worked:

-When starting NG+, turn off the tutorial missions and pop-ups.

-If that doesn't work, turn off all NG+ options, start NG+. If it works, go back and try turning them all back on EXCEPT mission tutorial and tutorial pop-ups.

-Try replaying the final mission again, beat the game, and then go straight to main screen after the tutorial pop-up shows NG+ is unlocked. Immediately start NG+


No guarantee any of this will work, but hopefully it helps someone. There may be a mod out there that resolves it too, but I didn't check yet.
