So I started a new game plus on Xillia 2 and then hilarity ensued.

Spoiler:

I think the funniest thing is that as soon as you get a character in your party for the first time, they instantly run through all the affinity related skits. Leia sounded desperate.

For all the choices in the game, I am going to go the opposite direction as I did in the first playthrough. I had a lot of questions after playing through the game the first time, so hopefully I will get some, if not all, the answers I seek on this playthrough.

I much preferred that spoiler, it made scenes much better to hear tone, but you're right it did feel weird. It made that scene in the second last chapter with Julius more emotional for me among others.

I totally agree, I had Leia, Milla, and Muzet maxxed in my first playthrough, and them warming up so suddenly was certainly an experience. Especially

Spoiler:

I mostly did that too! I'm glad I did a second playthrough of this game, I feel like I have a really full picture of it, but I never did get around to completing the EX Dungeon. I started it, just didn't complete it. I do want to know what's up with it though.
