So, I finally got around to beating Persona 4 this weekend, and I was wondering if doing the plus mode was worth it.

I mean I basically had an hour of gameplay left from my last save, so it was enough time to get the hooks back in, but not enough to really satisfy it.

So what exactly do you gain from starting a new game on your completed data?

I kind of want to go through again just because I want to explore some of the social links I ignored, but I was curious as to whether there were any other advantages.

From what I remember, what you keep on a new game plus is (this may influence the "is it worthy?" criteria... maybe):

• Money
• Compendium (you can buy a Persona that is of a higher level than you are... so you can use the highest level Personas (Personae?) you had a the end of the game if you want)
  
• Max number of Personas you can carry
• Items gained from max social links
• Main char stats (Knowledge, etc.)

I don't really think there are any other advantages to a second playthrough, besides maxing social links you missed in your first playthrough, or maxing your stats. I plan to play through it again just because I enjoyed it so much the first time.

Knowing that my stats are goig to be kept, I'm defiantly going to play through a second time.

I maxed out almost all my stats the first time through, so now I'll be able to focus on getting all the social links I missed.

There are also some dialog choices you couldn't pick the first time due to lack of courage. You should have enough courage to select them now. Not a major selling point of New Game+ but jlrm01 has already mentioned most of it. :)

Yeah, I remember some options in my first run where the game told me "You don't have enough courage" and I was like "How the hell am I supposed to have much courage so early?!". hehehe. On my second run, I was trying to remember which options those where, to select them, but my memory is so pathetic I couldn't remember. I don't know if the game tells me "You have enough courage to answer this now" (after selecting an option) or not (I don't remember seeing this... so I guess not). If it doesn't I'll never know, by myself, which dialog options those were. ^_^;

Actually it does in many cases
