Can't start New Game+

Hi, loving the game so far. I just beat it for the first time (End A, felt like a bad end so I wanted to keep playing), watched the end cutscene and was taken back to the main menu. I loaded up my save file again and a cutscene started but it was just black. Pressing "next" caused the game to crash with a "NullObjectReference" error.

I loaded the game and save file again and skipped the cutscene this time. I'm back in my play file again just fine but with no options for New Game+ anywhere (not even main menu) and no changes that I can see to the game map. What cutscene did I skip and how do I continue please?

Have you beaten the game with any of the other endings? End A doesn't unlock New Game+, you'll need to get one of the other ones first.

Did it say you had unlocked New Game + ?

I'll look into the Null Reference error, could you open a bug report here about it?

I got that blank cutscene without a crash on my first playthrough of the hd version as well after doing the "coward" ending first (where it's just you, ketta, and markus). After credits I came back in it gave me the blank cutscene and I was confused, so just hit the skip button and got out of it. I don't really recall if there was some scene there in the original Defender's quest, since I last played it in 2013.

I don't believe you're supposed to get the New Game+ at that point, instead, you have to resume your game and go back a mission and you should have a branch off into a cave with 3 more missions to do where the real ending awaits.

Ah fair enough, thank you both for the replies. I guess I didn't really miss anything then, the blank cutscene just threw me off. I'll report the bug and keep playing the game, thanks!

I've had two reports in game that I had unlocked NewGame+ but I still do not see any way to start one.

Everything I can find suggests it should simply be in the start game menu. Is that not so?

It would seem there is a bug that tells you that the New Game+ has been unlocked long before it actually is.

It isn't finely, actually, unlocked until you defeat the scripted end battle at the crystal in the cave.

Okay so there's our bug. When you get the "bad ending" it erroneously pops open the NG+ unlock message?

The ending outside the cave, seemed to have initially triggered the message. Every bonus challenge I completed after, also triggered the message.

It wasn't until I defeated the crystal end battle, in the cave, that the new game+ option appeared in the start menu.
