The World Ends With You, Anyone?

[flangella]

Also known as What A Wonderful World in the original Japanese, The World Ends With You is a roleplay game made solely for the Nintendo DS by Square Enix, (a.k.a. the darlings who brought us the ever-popular Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy). Despite a few clichés, (angsty main character with memory loss...blah, blah, blah), The game itself is pretty amazing, in my opinion. I'm particularly fond of the dual-screen battle system they have set up that seriously pushes your multitasking skills into overdrive. xD

Oh, and if you're not up for reading a TON of dialogue in your video games, this little monster might not be for you ._.;;. I like comparing it to a sort of interactive novel because all the bulk of the game really is, is just the characters speaking back and forth.

Haha, sounds boring, really isn't.

TWEWY has lots of dialogue? Psh. Phoenix Wright beats it easily.


Being serious now, I got TWEWY a couple months after it came out, and I ended up spending most of the summer completing it. It was a great game, although the battle system took some getting used to.

If nothing else, it was worth a playthrough for the sheer awesome that is Sho Minamimoto. XD

Sho is amazing. How can you not love a deranged math-spewing maniac? You can't. That's the beauty of it.

It took me about two weeks to finish the thing, (I tend to fill the void left from a lack of a life with hours of video gameage), and I don't know how many times I've gone back and played it again because Another Day is just so outrageous.

And I'll have to look into that Phoenix Wright thingy.
Sounds fun.

I love twewy so much! Me and my friend got ourselves addicted sweatdrop ...Oh well. It's worth it. I agree that Phoenix Wright has way more dialogue, though.
Fave pins? Partner used most?

I want to play it so badly DDD|
My friend who cosplayed it said one girl who dressed as Beat (I think she's the little blonde girl) made most of the pin and put it in a pouch she made for the cosplay. >':
The fact that you use pins makes me wanna play it more...|DD""
I want some of those pins >> <<

I played The World Ends With You only briefly, but even in that time I was shocked at the gameplay. Passing attacks between both screens? Seriously? Just amazing!

I intend to get back to it, but it may be a bit much for me. redface

I'm looking for it, but online the prices are like 50$! They don't have it in my area.

I've played it, I thought it was awesome

I quite liked it. Was enjoyable and somewhat easy at times. Loved the artwork was pretty badass ♥ I beat it within 8 days, sad I suppose but was worth it. All in all pretty nice.

I like during the battles with the Noise ( I think that's what they called) you can control 2 people at the same time and your partner varies in different moves and OMG I loved leveling up my pins. I liked the system on how you get bonus like exp or thingo when you haven't played the game for a while.

Bought it a while ago and played it for the longest time, but traded it in when there was a time I was addicted to pre-ordering games, but didn't have the money to pay them off. So of course I went and traded in all the great games that I loved. I regret it now, especially since over the summer I played Dream Drop Distance and they were in it. gonk
