Starting a fresh run in plus mode is pretty straightforward but you'll want to know what you're getting into. The good news is you'll keep all your character progression stuff like stats, skills and those weapons you've been upgrading, plus any pictos and luminas you've collected along the way. Even your gradient skills and party members stick around which is nice for jumping back in

The catch is everything quest-related resets completely, and you'll need to rebuild those relationship levels from scratch. All those lost gestrals, music records, and paint spikes you gathered? Those reset too, same with your paint break ability. The interesting part is how the enemies scale up - they're significantly tougher this time around, and you'll find better upgrade materials while redoing those questlines

Just remember there aren't any exclusive plus mode quests or anything, you're basically replaying the same content but with beefed-up challenges. The nice thing is, keeping your progression means you can focus on perfecting your strategy instead of starting from zero. Maybe worth mentioning that having your old skills and gear really helps balance out those stronger enemies you'll be facing
