Second question: Who's your favourite partner?
rhymu
Gotta be Joshua. Great character and the Jesus beams are too good.
Rhyme.
Gimme week 4 you cunts.
Well how about that!
Question number three: What's your favourite brand?
J of the M
Lapin Angelique
Jupiter of the Monkey series
Rook of the electic ouchies.
Joshua for gameplay, Shiki(Eri) for everything else.
Either J of the M or Pegaso.
I see, I see.
Alright, results are in... You pass! So pass on through.
But rest assured, though you may forget the review, it remembers you.
Rock on, TWEWY fans.
TAKE ME FORWARD, STAR ARE STILL ASLEEP

Why were the Pegaso pin names so pretentious?
Because it was the "I'm too rich to care about this shit" brand.
>It's Joshua's brand like D+B is Shiki's and Wild Boar is Beat's
Fits so damn well.
Jupiter of the Monkey, of course

This is how "promised land" shit gets started user.
One of the things I liked in TWEWY was how the Reapers weren’t just your generic group of bad guys. Some of them were pretty friendly and were even willing to give you helpful advice and what not on how to survive the Game. Either that or be complete goofballs.
>that one Reaper that got spared out of getting brainwashed like the rest of his peers in Week 3 just because he skipped work one day
Man, this game was gold.
I KNOW GRAVITY AIN’T AN EXCUSE
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Neku’s favorite brand Jupiter of the Monkey?
PICK IT UP PHONES!
I’M THERE
Pretty sure you're right
iirc his clothes in his art are supposed to be JotM?
Yeah. You can actually buy them in-game if I recall.
>Square will never release a game as insanely creative as TWEWY ever again
What the fuck happened?
TWEWY was lightning-in-a-bottle, user. Square cares way too much about money nowadays to even try new things and risk hurting their public image even more.
Square themselves happened. They have a huge tendency to bite off way more than they can chew. Just look at the FF13 trilogy and FF15 for example.
Man, 777 did not deserve the fate he got.

Wait, seriously? I need to see this.
Can’t remember what Twitter account I got it from but it’s definitely there.
Oh damn, that’s actually pretty cool.
Stuff like this really does showcase why TWEWY is such a special game. It has an amazing level of ludonarrative that not many games can claim to have.
>one of the game’s mechanics revolves around changing and influencing the trends by wearing brands into battle to make them popular

The NDS version is the best one, right?
Without a doubt, yes. The gameplay is a lot more fleshed out and polished in the original version.
Yes
Don't forget XV was originally part of the same project as XIII.
Always happy to see TWEWY get more love and appreciation. What a great game.
In hindsight, the Fabula Nova Crystallis project did more harm than good for Square and their image.

I think it would honestly be an insult if the sequel didn't have her so I'm fine with the current state of affairs. if they actually released a definitive version of the game
Didn’t she do a concert a few months ago?
really? Maybe she recovered. I read she had a throat injury.
Why did the Final Remix version vanish off the face of youtube?
This song gives me some serious Sonic R vibes.
I think the guy who uploaded it got his channel taken down. Which sucks because those remixes were really good.
Always got reminded of this instead

Man, I miss early Bleach. The characters had this really nice urban style that you really don’t see much of nowadays.
I wonder if that Shibuya world will still have Noise. I’m curious to see how they would transfer to 3d with the whole graffiti art aesthetic.
I hope they go full on Jet Set Radio if that’s the case. That kind of style would be perfect for it.

Did the Switch version rewrite parts of the game? I remember the first day """"puzzle"""" being much longer.
would be a downgrade
even if you got a director and animators who could accurately portray the art style the gameplay served the story so well it wouldn't matter

>Shiki

>Rhyme

>Beat
Tatakai
>Neku
>Three Minutes Clapping
Care to explain?
That was pretty much the point, they told the composer to just go make a bunch of shit you'd hear while walking around Shibuya.
They even hired actual modern, local acts from in and around the real-life Shibuya to help expand the soundtrack even more. That’s a shit ton of passion for a handheld game.

>Joshua
Make or Break
>Rhyme
Deja Vu
>Beat
TATAKAI
>Sho
Transformation
>Kariya and Uzuki
???
>Shiki during her date with Neku
Give Me All Your Love
Some of the lyrics fit his character, especially during Week 2
>UNTIL THE TIME IS UP, I CAN’T GIVE UP ON YOU
His unwillingness to give up on Shiki and to rescue her no matter what.
>I DON’T CARE ABOUT IMAGINARY BOUNDARIES, BUT SOMEHOW, I’M AFRAID TO GO OVER THEM
His refusal to open up to other people over a fear of getting hurt and losing them like he did with his best friend.
>COVER UP ALL THE SCARS AND MEMORIES
His refusal to open up and his constant amnesia problems.
>CREATIVITY IS ALL THAT I’VE GOT
His massive amount of Imagination and incredible skill with Psychs. That’s pretty much how I look at it, anyway.
Kariya and Uzuki are Rush Hour.
Never thought of it that way. Pretty neat interpretation, user.
Oh, you are right. My bad, I don't remember the soundtrack completely, but almost every song is God tier.

If you leave your DS on Mingle Mode overnight, you’ll get passing Aliens that give you tons of MPP, which really helps in leveling them up. Either that or have multiple DS’s and use Pictochat to level up faster.

How would you guys do a sequel?
New protags/location, for one
I wouldn't, I'd do a "spiritual successor" or whatever. Use the widescreen on the Switch (assuming it's sticking to Nintendo handhelds) to have left joycon control a character on the left, right joycon controls right character. New characters/locations etc, don't have it re-use the old cast. I think they had their story tied off really well
absolutely different set of characters but keep the gameplay somewhat the same
maybe as a twist for a week, add a groundhog day scenario
New location and new characters, but keep the gameplay as close as possible as the original. Some mention and nods to the events of the first game. As for the format, maybe a time loop would be nice.
I remember reading the interview of the old team about how on the first conception they had the idea of multiple Reaper's Game around the globe. Cities like Los Angeles, Egypt and others were mentioned, but they decided to put their efforts on Shibuya given the limitations of memory of the DS.

I'm a new TWEWYbro because of the recent Final Remix sale on Amazon, but god damn I love this game. I've been struggling with life lately and something about this game really clicked about this game. Its artstyle, its themes, its characters, its music, all of it.
What a fantastic game, I really hope to see more of it in the future.
>I really hope to see more of it in the future.
user, I...
>it’s been 12 years since TWEWY last came out
>we still haven’t gotten anything like it
>I really hope to see more of it in the future.
Boy... That's some hope.
Final Remix only came out last October, I'll be optimistic for at least a few years. KH3's Secret Ending had Shibuya's 104 too, that's gotta be something TWEWY.
Personally i first played it on switch with motion controls and it was hard to get used to but i found it to be better to be better than the handheld controlls desu
It will probably get the 3D treatment, which is to be expected given that the plot of the gang is not solved on the 3DS gang. Other than that, I'm not sure if we will get another TWEWY, but I want a new cast, the old cast completed their journey.
This beauty right here.

But he was divided by zero, lad.
Lack of dick in her life.
I wish. There's a mini-OST with the Wonderful Bag Jap-only special edition, but that doesn't have all the new stuff. Only way I know of anyone getting the music is ripping it from a dump of the rom or something, but pretty sure those just trail off at the end due to looping stuff, and they obviously lack metadata.
He wasn’t fully erased when we last saw him. And Final Remix’s epilogue had him outright revived.
Not tracks from the game but THE DEATH MARCH have some sick remixes.
I upload this album if anyone wants it.
Holy shit. Why? Just why?
I know, lad. I'm just jesting, not sure why the revived him but I guess the power of popularity is strong.
I can only assume because the game supposedly bombed, but I'd have thought they'd have released it before the game was out long enough for that to be clear.
She was a workaholic paired with one of the laziest motherfuckers in Shibuya.
We might never know, so there is that only suffering and face erasure. There's one guy on JewTube working on ripping all the songs from the game and making a playlist so I guess there's that for now.
Being best girl.
SE has just been weird with soundtracks lately. Not even Kingdom Hearts 3 had an OST released.

Fuck I remember watching these videos as a kid.
Well if the only source of recruitment for reapers is players who made it to the end but don't make the quota, then she's died and played the game before. But since she joined after Kariya, makes you wonder who her partner originally was.
What do you think?
If you were Neku's partner, what would your fusion mechanic be?
Blocking attacks and countering attacks. My fusion attacks would be related to slice everything on the area with a wood sword.
Probably something vidya related. Maybe Space Invaders?
Wasn’t prepared for the Reaper review. Gotta start digging for my copy and play again so I can remember my answers.
Based
Colour Cards, the combo map would lead to primary colours that you have to mix to get the right tertiary or primary colour to earn fusion stars. So if it displays green as the colour to shoot for, you need to hit yellow and then blue or blue and then yellow, but if it displays yellow as the colour you need.
The regular theme would be using Sheep Heavenly pins to create stuff like Creepy Weepy Barrier and ram into enemies and the fusions would be stuff like black holes on a massive scale. Obviously I'd be wearing Sheep Heavenly threads to match.
It's a musical staff. Attacks place a half note, quarter note, or eighth note on the bar, and a finisher ends the measure. Bar is in 4/4 time, at the end of the bar notes are cleared and a star is rewarded for each correct measure.
>If we ever did get a sequel, it wouldn't be on the 3DS or any system with a dual screen
Not worth it unless you completely change the combat system.
Solo remix is a pain compared to how smooth the DS version is.
Ah shit, forgot to finish the thought. If it displays yellow as the colour you need you need to hit two yellows in a row.
What the fuck was Joshua’s problem?
I'm honestly surprised that they made Tin Pin Slammer so fun to play on top of the original game.
Do it user, it still holds up nearly 12 years later.
The fuck did you just call me, bitch?
He hated normies.

Fund it.
Dante's got The One Star in the bag.
The game still felt amazing and kino when I played it. Although I didn't have the ds version for reference. There's a crap ton of more songs though, with somewhere around 90. Plus there's a new chapter for postgame. Would recommend handheld controls on the switch
When I think about it, Joshua's got Dante's playfulness and Virgil's according to keikaku personality.
Pairing Beat with either V's though....

Daaaamn
Shiki looks like that?
When you think about, both games are centered around killing monsters while looking stylish as fuck. And hell, Dante already made an appearance in Nocturne so DMC’s no stranger to JRPGs.
Battlethemes are iconic with both series, along with the themes of reapers, demons, and style
I’m happy to see KH give some spotlight to other Square titles. I get people being mad about not enough FF in 3 among many other things but you have to admit the Einhander stuff was cool. Who would have thought that the Schwarzgeist would be the guest superboss?
Yea Forums will unironically go nuts over seeing a "featuring dante" stamp on any future TWEWY product. Hell the closest we'll get to dreaming that is if both casts get a shot at Smash and we just have both OSTs while both chracters are on screen.
Great, now I want fanart of the DMC characters in TWEWY’s style.
Cute.
Man, Neku and Dante would be great for Smash, especially with the massive amount of moveset potential that they have.

He’s popular and easy to being back since we didn’t see him actually get erased. Making him playable is an easy way to make me interested in a sequel I must admit.
I’d imagine her to be like Hanekoma in which she’s already familiar with the player and is just casual, like calling you honey and what not.
Blue Blood Burns Blue was one of my favorite pins to use in the game. Making a pillar of blue fire continually waste away at enemies is cool as fuck.
Would you take the offer to be a Reaper, Yea Forums?
I wouldn’t probably be too comfortable with erasing people’s souls, tbqh.
Nah, having to kill someone every month just to survive would be pretty brutal on my psyche.
Everything else about it seems like a comfy gig, mess with some players with a barrier, go into the real world during down time, creating your own noise.
But I couldn't kill, I don't have the stomach for it.
You're not really killing though, these people are already dead. Your job is to provide them with a trial by fire to see if they're worthy of returning to life. If they couldn't defeat the noise you sic on them they wouldn't be able to beat the GM and return to life anyway.
You might have a point there but I’d probably pick being reincarnated at that point.
They're still people with emotions and personality.
You're right, they're probably going to die to the GM.
I still don't want to be the one holding the executioner's axe as they beg me not to end them.
What if you don't meet the quota and have to choose between replaying the game and joining the reapers?
So get a support gig, setting up barriers and such, what's the harm then?
If I can scrape it through the first week already and am already familiar with how the game works, then eventually I should be able to finally make it back.
You might get a shit partner or a more brutal game master. And weeks aren't usually conducted back to back so you might be spending quite a bit of time away from the living world.
Hmm, you might have a point there.
There's gotta be a twist to support gigs, it's too good to be true. Either they got their own quota (you must sic 200 noise on players in a week, etc.) or attacking reapers and support reapers switch jobs every other week.
I always figured that the only reason there’s support Reapers is because they’re too weak to be anything else.
The twist is that you're doing busywork. A Harrier can rack up enough points to keep themselves alive for a good while and then just chill, but if your'e a support you gotta show up 7 days straight each time there's a work week, setting up barriers, confirming objectives, fetching the GM a sandwich,etc. Supports are on the bottom of the corporate ladder.
I honestly feel like this was the best use of Nomura's design sensibilities.

>that post game content added in final remix
listen. if you liked any of that garbage, pm me your address so i can pick up the biggest, heaviest boulder i can find and crush your worthless skull in with it. that entire shitshow was a huge mistake and should not have happened. period.
I liked the extra music
Redpill me on the new content in the switch version.
If there's one thing that TWEWY has made me want it's pins to put on my clothing. But I have no idea where you'd buy them.
I ended up on the spammiest deck ever. All three speed-up pins, a heal pin, and Lazy Bomb + Falling-Rock spam. Done right, you could basically trap anything medium-size or larger. I never could beat the secret boss on hard or ultimate though; it's kinda bad when the bosses don't get stunlocked.
Just reminds me of Air Gears. All of this is past media that isnt going to be touched in years sadly...
New music, mostly good.
All else is postgame:
Bad new story
Hype-chan sequel hook AGAIN
A handful of broken new unbranded pins
Buffed Noise variants
Lame final boss with a relatively weak BGM theme
Shit ending

>On Week 2 Day 3 and currently rocking Hounder Magnum, Pamper Me Tether, Healing Whale, Pop Pendulum, and Ice Risers
Why do no other games have this level of freedom for customising your moveset? I don't even have any combos set up or the maximum number of pin slots and combat is already a blast.
I dunno man but it’s pretty crazy. The amount of shit you can pull off with the right pin set can get downright nuts. Like how you can combine Egg Bomb and the Psychokinesis pins to throw exploding cars. Or how you can combine Over the Top and three Apport pins to create an endless hail of boulders.
Ouch
>first playthrought back when it was new
>somehow I barely understood the pins effect AND I was a bid lazy changing my pins

Holy shit. You have my respect, user.
Fucking kek
Ice Risers or the "Outta my FACE" ones from the "HEAVY" group
Nice
Maybe something like assembling a Gunpla? But I think for most of us it would somehow involve shitposting, possibly trying to get repeating digits like Joshua.
Try any convention, ever. They all have booths that sell pins, and TWEWY is one of very few pieces of popular media that features distinct ones for pin makers to reproduce.
Does your battle rating effect drop rate just like reducing your level does?
>Fusion Mechanic that's like Joshua's High or Low but instead of trying to make it higher, lower, or equal to an above number you aim to get dubs/trips/quads by finishing on the same number multiple times in a row
Would be pretty neat, honestly. Y'know, I find it interesting that Joshua's got a more complicated combo map than Shiki's, with hers just leading to the three ESP cards, while with Joshua going up or down on his would lead to two new possible options you could go up or down to. Did anyone here ever use the threads that changed the shape of your partner's combo map?
nope, battle rating is just an exp multiplier
at least it is in the DS version, but I doubt it's different in the other versions
I guess it depends. I noticed that I was able to get the Ultimate difficulty item drop from Reaper Beat when I beat him in under 30 seconds and got a Star rank.
Disregard the bit about Joshua having a more complicated combo map, I just realised my Joshua is wearing Silver Screen Sweetheart so he has more combo branches.
I did a few times, especially when it came to get Joshua’s screen-clearing Jesus Beams.
Just picked up the DS version. Is my game bugged or is it sometimes hard to trigger certain events to progress?
Care to give some examples?
Gonna have to give us more detail than that if you want to know the answer, user. Give us an example.
Third day, first shop. I talked to both red hoodie guys and both just gave me "...". Then I spend hours killing noise and then I talk to the lower hoodie guy again and suddently it triggers a dialog and I get thrown into the card guessing tutorial.
Also the dog sature. Why cant I rub it before talking to the guy on the previous screen? I noticed the blue mark instantly and rubbing it was my first instinct.
For your first example, that might be a bug since the game doesn’t have that usually happen. As for the second example, that’s actually a part of the puzzle solving since you have to scan the guy by the Moyai statue to get the idea to polish it.
Well I had that idea anyways. So much for ludo narrative game design.
Oh yeah, that. Shit was especially awesome to pull off when you got the right threads.
Most of the ludonarrative comes from the battle design and how certain mechanics reflect on the game’s themes and Neku’s development, like Bravery and the trend system.
How do you pull off maximum jesus beam again?
it's based on how many regular attacks you do first, I think you need 6 to get the double laser. His ground combo works the same where you get better obstacles the more lock ons you do.
You need to finish a combo of 6 or more higher attacks. You'll probably need to get threads that increase his combo map.
If you equip Joshua with stuff like Pi-Face’s Jeans, along with other equipment that increases the combo panels and branches, and hit an enemy at least six times while levitating, you’ll be able to unlock the finisher and attack both sides at once.
How come TWEWY threads have some of the most consistently high quality discussions on Yea Forums?
The gameplay can be a massive pleb filter for some, which makes it less likely to attract shitposting. Add to that the amount of different mechanics and multiple ways to approach the gameplay and you have a recipe for some quality threads.
Nice
>Natural Puppy's Chic Black Turtleneck and Silver Screen Sweetheart increase your partner's combo panels and combo map respectively
>They're both available to buy and around Joshua's bravery stat in terms of bravery requirements when you get him
>There's a Reaper guarding a wall on Week 2 Day 2 that requires Josh to wear four Natural Puppy threads, and due to lack of options in his bravery range you'll probably end up using the threads listed above
>The game is subtly signalling to you that these are good abilities to have on Joshua, who does increased damage from how many attacks you do prior to the finisher
Fucking brilliant.
Holy shit, I never even thought of it like that. This game was fucking ahead of its time, man.
Next level tutorials!
There’s not much to shitpost about when it comes to TWEWY.
>While the zodiac describes the Ox as a sign of the steadfast, hard working, patience, honest, and creative to those under its year, its wardrobe of party and leisure might come across as the contrary to many. In deeper introspection however, many and much of its wardrobe is that of clothing that requires a great deal of patience, expertise, and experience to work on, being that of leatherware, including leg wear and boots, heavy materials, and intricate pieces, such as bras and to even jewelry; the inclusion of many D+B outfitters allowing early access to top class leather hides and even sterling silver greatly hints that D+B is a designer brand, which is a venture that requires not just skill in the trade of couture, but also that of PR and self run business management.
>Allowing for psychokinesis is much like the carnage of a charging oxen, mercilessly plowing and running over anything in its path. Its inclusion of ice based negative psyches, along with its designer party ware theme, runs along a reference to a famous auspicious belief in Chinese astrology regarding ox signs, in that if one is born under the sign of the Ox during the times of winter, much like them merely resting in the barn and being fed unlike in the toiling times of summer and spring, that such people are destined for a life of ease and little labor.
Fucking brilliant.
Based Stumpanon shuts down any controls shitposting
And here’s one for Tigre Punks from the TWEWY wiki.
>In the legends of the Jade Emperor, the tiger's role as the king of beasts was said to have been a lengthy journey to righteousness and glory. In the beginning, it was said that the lion ruled as the king of beasts, but the Jade Emperor saw that the lion's rule was tyrannical and cruel, and decided that a new king was needed. Back on earth, the tiger, originally clumsy and oafish, soon sought and was taught by the cat how to pounce, fight, and be rigorous in its movements. Making its might known by fighting off challengers in the depths of nature, the Jade Emperor soon took notice, and tested the tiger in the heavens against his guardians. While overcoming all of them then proved the tiger its rightful title, the mortal world soon was put in peril, and the tiger took it upon itself to right the balance of good. Before heading to the earth to do good deeds, the tiger asked the Jade Emperor to record its heroics; upon saving the world and denouncing the lion and its cohorts from the title of the king of beasts, the Jade Emperor then painted on its forehead the ideogram of king.
>Utilizing headstrong and straight forward attacks with short range is characteristic of the tiger; within Asian culture and martial arts, the tiger is representative of hard styles and external methods, including direct confrontation, explosive speed, raw brute strength, and full on physical contact.
God bless stumpanon.
>That time when he bullies BJ about liking Uzuki and called her a tramp without knowing who it was
Joshua gave zero fucks.
Indeed he didn’t
Fucking brutal, man.
Josh was a stone-cold fucker, goddamn.
Man, Joshua has no mercy.
He’s gay asshole Jesus. He doesn’t need to give any.
don't joke like that you bastard
>Using four different Natural Puppy pins each with a different psyche
Holy shit it's so satisfying to constantly be laying down chains or firing bullets. I had no idea Superfine Beam was even a thing before this playthrough, I should grind pins on hard more often.
Upon reflection this game is probably the main reason why I got into rock/jrock in my teens
ANOTHER WORLD AWAITS
Fun fact: Joshua is a tansliteration of the Hebrew Y'shua or Yeshua, which is short for Yehoshua.
The Greeks transliterated this as Iesous, then the Romans to Iesus, then finally to Jesus in English.
Joshua's name foreshadows his role in the plot.
>Buy a bunch of Brave+ from the hot pharmacist lady so I can dress Neku up in girly Sheep Heavenly clothes to maintain brand synergy
>The next time I swing by she tells me about the ability of one of the accessories I bought from the Sheep Heavenly store that requires like 117 bravery to use
Fuck I love how all the shop mechanics interact. Now I've got crazy fast light puck speed from making Neku crossdress.
bump
If you ain't gonna discuss the game it's best to let the thread die. The Anniversary's coming up anyway so there'll definitely be a thread for that.
I remember one chick in particular telling me about she saw me shopping in another store and how she wanted me to take her shopping one day. Little stuff like that really give the shopkeepers a ton of personality.

Lullaby for You or Runaway, Yea Forums?
Lullaby for You. Always.
Both songs are fantastic but I have to give it up to Lullaby for You.
Runaway Specifically the Death March version.

That's no--

Honestly based.
Lullaby
Lullaby for You. I've never heard Runaway.

What would you think if the sequel had you playing someone who had committed suicide but now has to play the game because they'd be dooming their partner otherwise?
Eri is ugly.
Shiki is hot.
Would be interesting to see how they tackle. Perhaps a large part of the game’s theme can be about rediscovering your passion in life and learning to move on from depression and what not.
Eri is cute but real Shiki was way more cuter to me.
Post more real Shiki, pls.
You got it, bud.
Yeah, as opposed to the message of "broadening your horizons by interacting with other people" it would be about individual passions and where people get their motivation from.
We’re never gonna find out who she is, are we?
She's a goddamn tease is what she is.
Calling it now. She’s an Angel sent to kill Joshua or some shit.
Well she's got a shit chance at it, that's for sure.
I liked that one theory where she was speculated to be Neku and Shiki’s daughter or something like that, though, with how Final Remix ended, that’s probably not the case.
Could still be true if she's from the future.
I’m not sure if I want time travel, especially if Nomura is having any say in it.
We’re also never gonna find out about what Coco’s deal is either and why she wants Neku so bad.
There were a lot of subtle death related puns in the game.
>Neku: Do you swear?
>Kariya: On my life. Wait, that doesn’t work.
Threesome with Neku and Sho.
FEEL ME WHEN YOU COME INSIDE
TOUCH ME WHEN YOU WANT ME ANYTIME
That sounds dangerously lewd.
Indeed.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME ALWAYS
Who was your favorite boss, bros? For me, it was Sho. Dropping the moon on his ass on the rooftop with Joshua was climatic as fuck.
Uzuki and Kariya. Mirror bosses are kino as fuck and the fact that they share the same mechanics as you just made it even better.
Konishi, particularly for how much she screws with you throughout the fight and how you can finally take her down with the same people she’s been screwing with over the game.
Kitanji, he's a great reflection of what Neku could've turned out like, and with possessed Shiki and his timestops it makes for one kickass fight.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, BAE
I can just imagine a Carnival Phantasm of Nomura's works just becoming absolutely insane.
>when Progfox gets all of his tails
What's the deal with Progfox? Why/How did it assume Neku's form?
>When you get inside your barrier just before he does his fusion attack, heal your partner, and then keep on beating him down
As someone who played the DS version, it definitely ins't as interesting mechanically. It suffers from the fact that the joycon motion controls are clunky, and the touch screen controls make it a glorified port of the mobile game. BUT, if its the only way you really have to play the game, it's a decent alternative.
Good taste. TIME BE STILL was a great way to test your reflexes and general skill, especially when he starts spamming fireballs and what not at you.
Something with graffiti/stickering since with being a drawfag street art is closest thing I got to the whole urban street life scene.
Maybe something based off JSR's but less clunky; creating graffiti makes small summons similar to noise but with less durability. Fusion attacks create golem-esque beings to either flood the enemies or provide a layer of protection. The beasts summoned from them correlate with the majority brand Neku's wearing along with what's the established brand in the area.
Its better
It’s a probably a reference to how kitsune can shapeshift into different forms. Other Fox noise can do this as well and it’s honestly pretty cool.
So, something like V from DMC5?
youtu.be
Better than what exactly?
So, do you guys classify TWEWY as an example of a 2D cuhrazee game or something to that effect?
Honestly, yeah. Especially with the amount of crazy shit you can pull off in combat.
This is THE definitive song collection as far as I can tell.
youtu.be
More so for spectacle reasons but I loved the final boss fight. Taking on Draco Cantus while your partners keep giving you energy to finally take him down made for one hell of a climax.
That actually illustrated the idea a lot better than what I had in mind. Good find user.

youtu.be
Holy shit was this guy an asshole. Thank god for Velocity pins and Splish Splash Barrier.
So those are your Psychs but how would you gain fusion stars?
Honestly blows my mind when a DS game made in 2007 has more depth to it than most triple A games today.
That’s because the developers wanted to make it so that the game took advantage of the DS hardware in almost every way possible. When you go at a product with a ton of passion and a cohesive vision, you can get some amazing results.
Don’t forget about the crazy ass boss rush in Another Day. That one had me on the edge on my seat throughout the entire time I was playing it, especially when facing Uzuki and Kariya together.
So, to close this thread off, how did you guys first discover the game? I remember reading through some articles in Nintendo Power and coming across the game for the first time. After that, I was hooked right away.
Actually had KH DDD to thank for that. I was interested in Neku’s and the other Players’ designs and found myself wanting to learn more about that. After I beat DDD, I immediately went out to try and find a copy of TWEWY at my local GameStop and after that, the rest was history.
>almost five hours of music for a goddamn DS game
We’re not gonna see this level of passion for a long time, are we?
I think the first time I ever saw anything Twewy was an ad in the back of a booklet for another DS game that I was reading, on one page was the box art of a dino king game and in the other was the box art of TWEWY. I didn't think much of it until years later when KH3D was getting released and I saw in the trailers that characters from TWEWY were going to be in it so I decided to get it and play it before 3D came out so I'd know who the characters were. Needless to say it blew my tiny mind.
Where did the phrase "Jesus beam" even come from?
Got it as a gift from this one friend in highschool.
Reminder that they crammed more music in by cutting cutscenes and using the software usually used for voice line compression.
Browsed video game trailers on Youtube and eventually just stumbled upon this game's back when it was still only slated for Japan release and referred to as It's a Wonderful World even in English. I couldn't tell what was even happening in any of the footage, but I liked the sprites and was curious about the game since I liked KH Chain of Memories.
Joshua is basically Jesus, the human form of an angel of heaven, and he fires the beams. They even have angels in them for christ's sake.
The Nintendo Power articles and review. I actually got the game roughly a year after it came out, but those Nintendo Power articles were something that never left my mind.
I remember going on car trips with my family and printing out online tips about how to get the secret reports. Shit was wack because I was a dumb kid and couldn't figure any of the in-game tips out on my own
I haven't seen passion for music like this since.
It’s because of how Joshua floats in the air in the crucifixion pose and unleashes beams of holy light, with angels even accompanying them at times.
this game shooting out of nowhere to the #1 spot on the "top 10 most popular fourms for DS games" list on gamefaqs of all things
Absolutely based.
Good question.
I mentioned it would have to be graffiti based, but it's hard to implement the execution of that without it being too convoluted. Perhaps, something like completing directional prompts like JSR, but other than that I'm stumped
Same. Remember that showcase of it in NP too as well as other rave reviews in EGM. I remember getting 30$ for my birthday and the rest was history. The best game anyone could play when they're 14. Lullaby for you at the end filled me with something that still gives me goosebumps to this day.
>TWEWY thread hits bump limit. Fucking nice. Thanks for the great thread, bros. Here’s hoping that the 12th anniversary thread is just as good.
And yet it still wasn't enough for all of it, and so they decided to just swap out some songs for the cut ones in the English release, just to not let them go to waste, and this is the actual reason why some songs got replaced between regions.
It’s been a long ass time since I’ve seen a TWEWY thread hit the bump limit. Feels nice to see that there are people who love this game just as much as I do.
Think I saw it on the back of a magazine
Maybe assembling letters or combining the right strokes to make a symbol?
It makes me happy seeing others appreciate the game as much as I do.
I remember beating it for the first time and feeling empty that it was over.
It was #1 on a rom site back in the r4 days
