Wait, when do you get NG+ points?
I just started a new game despite not even having reached Kasumi (or any ending) in my previous one, and I had 1 inheritance point.
Edit: From what I see in CE with 2.00, compliments (Communication/Cheer up/Compliment) work until mood 7 or 8, and increase by 1 or 2 (50% chance of either, looks like). Imouto starts at 5, Good starts at 7 or above, and it seems that compliments won't increase mood at 7 or above.
Over days 1 and 2, I got 5 (normal) -> 6-> 8 (good) -> 8 -> 8 -> 8, and in another run, 5 (normal) -> 7 (good) -> 7 -> 7.
But you can definitely max out day one with some luck with the +1/+2 values, and the Snack you start with:
- Compliment her (+1, mood 6, Normal)
- Compliment her (+2, mood 8, Good)
- Giver a snack (+2, mood 10, Love)
Not sure if 1.45 had the same behavior.
