So, you've beaten Tales of Graces f and you're ready to dive back in for a New Game+? Awesome! This game's NG+ works a bit differently than others.

Think of it as a strategic investment to make your next adventure even better!
Before we get into what you can buy, let's talk about how you actually earn Grade. You get it based on how you played your first run, so the better you did, the more Grade you'll have!

- Book Completion Bonus: Filled up those book entries by doing everything? More Grade!
- Side Quest Bonus: Tackled all those optional side quests? Yep, that earns you Grade too.
- Combo Bonus: Pulled off some insane combos? The highest combo you achieved matters for Grade.
- Technical Bonus: Earned a lot of combat tech bonuses? Those add up to Grade.
- EX Dungeon Bonus: How far did you push into the Zhonecage? Progress there earns you Grade.
- Speed Bonus: Finished the game quickly? Your playtime affects your Grade.
- Unyielding Bonus: Managed to complete the entire game without anyone getting KO'd? That's a big Grade reward!
- Exterminator Bonus: Collected a ton of Soul Orbs? That counts towards your Grade.
- Save the Gels Bonus: Beat the game without using a single gel in combat? That's a special Grade bonus.
