The second time around in Chrono Trigger isn't really about challenge though. But there's just another different feeling to it, when you look back at those guys you used to have a hard time with and see how you really out grown them throughout the plot.
So really it's more of a challenge the first time and the second time you get the chance to curb stomp the guys who used to give you difficulty .

Help?.. please...You can get a number of endings that you couldn't get before by beating Lavos at times you wouldn't have been able to in a normal game. Technically, once you've won the game, you can start a new game + with another file that isn't close to beating the game (I've done it with ones where I was still a single digit level) and the spark that will take you directly to Lavos on Lucca's teleporter will still show up, but it doesn't do you much good since you won't be able to beat him at that point, and by the time you're strong enough to, you could just use the bucket anyway.
...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.I usually play games once, and then trade them in. I rarely play games twice immediately after beating them.
You make Bidoof saaaaad.
Of course, I'm one of those pack rat game whores.
One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -LandstanderUm... None?
That said, I have played MOTHER 3 twice, and I played through Paper Mario: TTYD up to Chapter 6 for a rental and then wound up starting and playing all the way through a new file about 3 years later, if those count for anything...
Hard Boiled Detective Since 1985- All of the Pokemon games

At the moment, all I can remember at the moment is restarting Eternal Sonata and No More Heroes on a New Game Plus.
I'm not a Pokemon Trainer, you zetta sons of digits!I normally do not do this because I find it ruins the feeling of closure I get from completing a game.
But I did this for Game Dev Story.
The Jak games. Especially Jak III. I could play those masterpieces over and over again. Ratchet too. Oh, and Borderlands.
There other games that i played repeatedly over and over for years too like Monster Rancher 2 but honestly i never feel like i've beaten them.
Most games with replay value past the credits.
I never play the same game again after just finishing it, the only exception is modern warfare, not because I loved the game but because I tought it was too short.
:)Tales of Symphonia. Actually, I proceeded to replay it four times.
Then I replayed it four MORE times later. I just absolutely fell in love with that game.

Chances are, I'm not actually wearing any pants right now.
I started over with Chrono Trigger as well on New Game Plus, but because there was no challenge, I wasn't enjoying myself. I just gave up. Maybe I should start over from the beginning and play it again that way.
