5. NG+ Currency - Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked

If there’s something we can generalise about when it comes to JRPGs on this list it’s that they often provide alternate endings and they absolutely know what they’re doing when it comes to New Game Plus.

Genre heavyweight Shin Megami Tensei is no exception to either of these rules as the 2011 remaster Devil Survivor Overclocked has a really interesting system to offer those who are up for a second run at it. Essentially, the tactical role playing game not only plays out different events depending on your choices each run, and offers up multiple endings to those who satisfy the requirements, it essentially gives you a New Game Plus currency.

You’ll gain it through completing various objectives in the previous run and it can be spent in the New Game Plus shop where you trade it in for the ability to carry over things like items, demons or funds.

You can even use the points to unlock new bosses for the next run which is pretty cool.
