The World Ends With You

This game has actually inspired my style. It's fantastic!

F THIS GAME! F IT TO HIGH HEAVEN!

 

Yes! I absolutely loved this game when I got it for my DS. This game always schoked me when certain points of the story was let out (like everyone is dead)

Ryhme has always been my favorite. No clue why. Just is.

 

Wow, people. Spoilers. You might want to put those in tags so you don't spoil it for people who haven't played the game yet. Just a friendly heads-up.

TWEWY I was recommended once by a few friends, so I decided to scour GameStop for it, and I found it at GameStop for $18. Not bad, really. It was unlike any game I'd ever played before, but then again, I am not really into the Japanese culture scene, so a lot of it was unusual and new to me. (Not a bad new, by any means.)

I'm not sure if it was just me, but the plot actually seemed to accelerate as it got closer to the end. The days, on average, took less real-world time to finish - or at least they did on Week 3. The first and second weeks were very heavy into puzzle-solving and getting used to the game; the third was basically "Surprise! Plot!"

I did manage to get my character to Level 100 (it's actually not that hard) and felt like getting a large chunk of the pins (I think about 80% of my library is complete? I have GameFAQs to thank for that), though the main pleasure I have found when playing the game is just replaying the plot. Over, and over, and over again. It doesn't get old. There are no strange unexplained bits and there's really nothing that feels like a deus ex machina. Or at least not a blatant one. Everything seems to make sense and was carefully planned out - nothing truly came from nowhere.

My favorite character is Sho Minamimoto, because of his constant trigonometry references.

 

I love the game! Though at first the mechanics were really, really tricky to get used to.. like you have to look at both screens while fighting bosses; it took mad, mad concentration to pull off! However, Neku was a blast and I loved the rest; though the final boss was a bit of a let down... maybe because of the pins I've used, they WERE pretty overpowered, haha.

 

Well, there is a pin you get near game's end that makes it notoriously easy to fight against, since the pin hits multiple times in rapid succession. It works wonders on normal bosses too, since it doesn't cause flinch. I believe you can also use 2 copies of it in your pin line-up at any given moment as well; I know I did for quite a while, just to really escalate my damage output.

The name of the pin in question, for those who would rather find out later, is:

Lightning Rook

 

I played this game a week ago and it was great! The characters and story were just what I look for in games. Why was I so zetta slow to getting around to playing this?
