It appears that it is not possible to transfer saves between users:
Save Data is account locked so you cannot transfer save data to different accounts. basically to prevent cheating, boosting, etc on the trophies. among other reasons. mainly Piracy
You can only transfer them between different PS4 systems, though without the same user on the new system, they cannot be accessed (for the above reason):
As a backup, you can copy saved data to a USB storage device connected to your PS4™ system. Copy saved data from the USB storage device to another PS4™ system to continue playing a game.
For each game, you can select the saved data to copy.
To use this feature, you need to have signed in to PlayStation™Network at least once.
FAT and exFAT formatted USB storage devices are supported.
Be sure to fully insert the USB storage device into the USB port. Some devices are not compatible due to shape or design.
You can copy data off the PS4 to a external drive, and then copy it back to a PS4 in the same way. However, the game may have restrictions on the saved data. For example, some games won't allow you to use save data from another user account. The only thing to do is give it a try and see if you get an error within the game with trying to load it.
In Final Fantasy XV, starting a New Game Plus won't bring much more than the original version of the game. The story is the same, there is nothing more to unlock, and there is no increase in the difficulty. It will reset your progression in the story. All the quests and hunt completions you made will be totally reset. You will also lose your hunting rank.
The advantage is that you will keep a lot of other things from your initial adventure. Reading this guide, you will keep your:
Experience and levels
Ascension skill progression
Survival, Fishing, Cooking and Photography levels.
Outfits.
Weapons (With the exception of the Engine Blade, which will be reset to its starting conditions).
Royal Arms.
Accessories
Items
Gils.
Spells.
Recipes for Ignis.
Regalia Customization and customization colors, decals and components (excluding the Type-F upgrade. You won't be able to fly from the start).
Ability to rent chocobos and your chocobo customization.
The main advantage you can see in this mode is simply to revive the entire story while keeping most of what you gathered through your previous run.
