Similar to other Tales’ New Game Plus options, Tales of Xillia 2 encourages those who finish the game to replay the game again with added bonuses on their second playthrough.
Upon finishing the game, the Grade Points you have on your first playthrough can be used on the Grade Shop to buy some unlocks for your second playthrough. Those who wish to make things easier on the second playthrough, you can use your hard earned Grade Points to buy things like “Inherit Full Levels” that allows you to carry levels from your clear data to the new game.
If you are planning to play the game for the second time, here are the things you should need to know when it comes to the Grade Shop:
