You don ' t watch Shinkai ' s movies for the story though . I mean I can assure you the story has never been his strong point . You watch them for the art , music and feels . <| sep |> How did you get the time up in the left corner ? <| sep |> Yes , it is my second character , i have 30 hs with the first one I stopped playing with 7 hs and reset . Oh sorry , i meant it like this After you ' ve finished the game and let the credits roll , the game just starts new with your character . You ' ve got nearly all your stuff still , levels etc . That ' s called NG . If the boss of an area is dead , you can ' t be invaded anymore . That applies everywhere ? I can ' t be invaded in an area where the main boss has been defeated ? That ' s right . I ' m playing spoiler free and just with some tips also spoiler free , do you suggest I try to finish the game once before I start reading about pvp ? Hm , what exactly do you mean ? Depends on what you want to read about PVP . The link i posted earlier is spoilery , so if you really don ' t want to know anything , better not read it . If you ' ve got questions about the ' mechanics ' of PVP , yeah , read it , but it might be kinda hard to circumvent spoilers . Also , if you ' re playing on Steam , you should be able to see a list with players you ' ve recently met in game . So that ' s an easier way to check if an invader was an NPC or a player , if you ' re unsure .
