Final Fantasy 14: How Does New Game Plus Work?

With Final Fantasy 14 being such a long game with hundreds of hours of content, the New Game Plus feature was a welcome addition to the game. This feature allows you to replay and re-experience certain questlines that you may have forgotten. This is especially useful if you've been playing the game for years.

Alternatively, it can be used to play through questlines that you've never played before if you purchased a Job Level-Boost and skipped them.

How To Access New Game Plus

In order to unlock New Game Plus, you must first complete The Ultimate Weapon, which is a level 50 main scenario quest that involves The Praetorium. Once that is complete, simply speak to Wistful Whitebeard in Western Thanalan (X:12, Y:14) to unlock the feature.

The New Game + option can be found in the Duty Menu of the game. It will bring up a menu that will show you what New Game Plus chapters you have available to you. You will only be able to select a chapter once you have fully completed it normally.

Selecting a chapter and commencing it will put you into New Game Plus mode.

How New Game Plus Works

When you are in New Game Plus mode, your quest list is replaced with a New Game Plus guide. This will tell you what your next quest in your currently selected chapter is called, and clicking on its name will show you the location of the current quest target.

When you are finished with New Game Plus, you can click the exclamation point next to the guide to suspend your progress.

There are certain things that you must keep in mind when playing New Game Plus:

  • You may only play one chapter at a time.
  • You cannot suspend New Game Plus during cutscenes, instances, cutscenes, etc.
  • You cannot progress or complete any quests that are not part of the currently selected chapter.
  • You will not receive any quest rewards.

These details plus more can be found by clicking the question mark on the New Game Plus guide.

What Can You Replay With New Game Plus?

There are currently eight categories of chapters available for use with New Game Plus. Each of these categories is split up into further categories to better help you choose which quests you want to replay. For all chapters apart from some in the Main Scenario category, you must simply complete the final quest in the chapter to unlock it for New Game Plus mode.
