We're you on NG+ when you beat Owl in Hirrata and if so, do you know what the increase in difficulty is as opposed to you own stats? Is it the same 40% then 10 and 10 and so on or is it different here? Is it odd set and can you upgrade your VIT to 40 on NG+ then 60 on NG++?

I started NG+ and it doesn't seem like you can increase VIT anymore but I could be wrong. I was rewarded a bulging coin purse for an anemy that I thought would have rewarded a bead.

What's the difference in NG+? I'm at the end boss and sort of dicking around doing side missions to extend the game because I know once I finish the game I will be going right into NG+

How much of your stuff carries over? how much of your stuff do you leave behind? How much harder is it? 

As for the difficulty, I personally love it but have to remind myself regularly that I have to think like a shinobi. Use all your abilities, prep, think, run when you need to. Shinobi hide if it becomes necessary, you're expected to be a coward, take on most enemies from behind, etc. yeah, the bosses are hard as hell, but again, you can run! (I beat Great Shinobi Owl with ease by controlling him and taking potshots).
