I understand that NG+ is about being as strong as you can to blow through the game but if the reason why there is no leaderboards for it for this game because of XYZ then restrictions should be put on those I feel. There are NG+ runs that do have restrictions, such as RE4 NG+ not allowing infinite ammo. So again I reiterate that its not unreasonable to have a restriction or two. At the very least, not allowing Omni Orb.

You bring up the issue that the run would be too easy but shoot down every chance for a restriction, I don't think that keeping almighty out of the run is unreasonable nor unnecessary.

I apologize if I seemed to come off a little combative there, it's just very suspicious that the only mod that has been responding to other people and being active happens to be you.

I can see where you're coming from, I have to respectfully disagree.

Firstly I don't think that its fair to pass judgement of a run category due to the fact that there was only one person who had done the run once. If it's dedication then again, I will do my part to make this category happen.

I watched and follow many people who play NG+ runs in other games and I can attest, as well as they, that NG+ runs are not lazy by any regards. Yes, fights and bosses are incredibly easy and I will not deny that but it is the same in other games that allow NG+ runs. Menuing and movement vital to making it to the next PB and with a game like Persona where enemies have strengths and weaknesses and a runner has to keep in mind how much HP and SP they use per battle. If almighty skills are such an issue then lets ban them, I have no quarrel with that. Even my current Satanael build is purely gun skills.

On the topic of a handful of people saying "I want to do this run because X reason" and not doing anything about it. In this case, you are the only one replying to the NG+ threads and making it feel like that people are not welcomed to enjoy a new possible category by replying with the same reasoning and making it sound like you're not up to consideration of it. And I find to be pointless to have two other moderators for this game and yet you're the only one making any responses what so ever.

Okay I see what you're saying now.

I'd be more than willing to help with routing a NG+ run and setting up a guide for it.

I just think Persona 5 might be more ran by other runners if there was a NG+ category, it would definitely increase the density of runners for it and hey, maybe more people will do the normal True Ending.

All in all, I would like to see a new category for NG+ to come up and I'll put in the work for it.

I get that totally but I think there is a lot of skill required in that by itself through the menuing, walking/running and enemy placements. I think at the very least opening up a NG+ merciless runs would be great if nothing else. I just want to see more variety in runs and if no one else is willing to do so then I will. I really love this game and I would love to see more speedrun variety than just being stuck to one way of speedrunning the game.

Hey so like I was thinking of spearheading a NG+ true/good ending category or something along those lines if its allowed. I would like to see one added because I think NG+ runs would be fun to see how much time can be cut down from normal runs. Even an ANY% NG+ run would be nice, I want to run this game but I don't want to spend 18+ hours playing a normal playthrough.
