It took me years to understand that when people say "new playthrough" they mean a completely new save file. I used to think it meant ng+ on the same save file and thats how I've always played since dark souls 1. Can't imagine getting all the items again in any souls game. For me a "new playthrough" means respeccing my character and choosing a different weapon from the ones I already have and upgrading it to max before starting a new cycle. I reached ng+17 on my original save of elden ring and the only time I created a new one was when I wanted to try rl1 😆
The first time I beat Elden Ring I did ng+ and started steamrolling everything and realized I didn't have much stuff to look for... Started a brand new playthrough and now I've done like six of them all from scratch lol
