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.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow sucks
DmC: Devil may Cry is the equivalent of trailer trash
"badly designed fat left on Lords of Shadow 2's bones."

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.
-----------
If there's anything that would make me hate the classic Castlevania games, it most certainly isn't the games themselves; but rather, that ignorant fraction of their fanbase.

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?
