I always like the new game + mode!!

New Game + is Chrono Trigger's gift to gaming --and I knew it would dominate the poll from the outset.  I decided to give up to five choices to get everyone's take on what else is out there.  Especially since most of these other modes can stack with New Game +

Personally I'm in love with Luck Mode because I'm a big completionist, and I farm like mad to get all the equipment, souls, etc..

I voted for @CRAZY (LoI)

That mode was amazing. All the monsters had different placement, all bosses had new attacks, and it actually forced you to learn/utilize most of Leon's combos.

Crazy is true to its name.  But it should have been stackable with the All Skills Mode --or better yet.  LoI should have had a New Game + feature.  I don't think we've seen the last of Crazy Mode --I wonder what it would look like in 2-D?

I voted Hard Mode/New Game +.

I love the increased difficulties in Hard Mode and the occasional new item or new ability, and I enjoy New Game + as it feels like it's making the accomplish of getting everything in the game actually mean something.

Crazy Mode, at it was the closest thing a new Castlevania has had to a 2nd Quest, like those in CV1, 3, 4, and X68000.

Well this is an interesting spread....

New Game + is clearly a winner, but there's an interesting divide in the other categories.  A pretty even split between the modes that give the player an Advantage Vs those that give the player a Handicap.

If you think about it, New Game + gives the player numerous Advantages over their first playthru.  But I wonder how many of you would temper that with a Handicap like the Hard Mode w Level Cap --or would you rather stack it with another Advantage like the Fighter Mode?
