Forums - Gaming - One of the coolest things about The World Ends With You

Well, honestly, at this point, I'm really in love with the game, but here is a cool feature the reviews probably leave out:

 

As soon as you get in game, you have a little HUD in the upper right hand corner that charts your Wi-Fi connection, your battery, and your in game stuff, so it's like having a cell phone. Even if you don't want to be hooked up to Wi-Fi, it still has that little Wi-Fi chart thing in the upper right telling you your signal, god only knows why, but it's really cool to have that setting there and knowing, heh, I'm in internet activity range right now if I need it for something. No other games just have that defaultly on and showing ya how leet you are for being in a hotspot. Cool stuff. Battery thing is also nice, cause it has the same novelty effect, like, "yep, batter isn't even half gone, this is like playing a Cell Phone game if you have the baddest ass cellphone they make."

 

Also, this is worth a mention. The music in the game, isn't Videogame music. It's like Elite Beat Agents music. Real, I guess licenses or created music, with lyrics, playing the whole time. When you read text, or in battle. Great, great, great. Not too often you get that level of production value from a game that doesn't center around the games music. This game is obviously something made with love, care, and hippness.

 

Anyway, really great game, nothing out there like it. It's like if Bleach was a videogame instead of an anime, Shinigami and all, except that it's actually the quality of the second season on the anime, packed into a videogame, and not a crappy licensed mock-game, but a real version of Season 2 Bleach entertainment on the DS. If you're on the fence about this one, allow me to take the blame for you buying it.

 

The game also uses that FFTactics thing where the words are text, but the characters have a little emotocon sound they use to display emotion at the beginning of their talking. The text will say

 

"Hey you stop"

 

but you'll hear your guy just say.

 

"Hey!"

 

Works really well, and there is some great Voice Acting in the main scenes as well.


Lol, that's the HUD for your cell phone in the game. To make it realistic. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with your DS.

 The battery is affected by how much you run, the Wifi strength is how thickly populated the area is with noise.  It's not your real life DS battery/ wifi signal.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Pokemon says hi.


The Sun Dial says hi. Seriously, Pokemon did not pioneer in game clocks.

I believe Words of Wisdom just got pwned here.

 

 

This game sounds awesome. If my 8901257 Wii games, my woman, and my motherfucking Japanese finals weren't taking up all my time (listed in order of importance), I'd definitely czech it out. I'll play it soon.


lol, you caught that, did ya?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It certainly is the real clock from your DS though.

Still a cool little feature. I didn't know it had an actual use in game.

I'm also enjoying my time with The World Ends With You (I prefer the original title "It's a Wonderful world", it's more in line with the social commentary the game is doing).
The over-the-top art style is really what the DS needs, the IGN review was right "Phantom hourglass is the best of the 3D Ds games, World ends with you is the best 2D".

I'm not a huge fan of the J-POP sound track and the someone what confusing plot (keeping in mind I'm only 1 hour into the game).

I reckon 8.5-9/10.

Awesome. I wish there were ban bets, because I woulda so owned you by betting that you score goes up the farther you get into the game, lol. The first hour is the worst part of the whole game.

 

I am slightly worried that you don't like J-Pop.

 

Not because of the game, just because irl, come on man. J-pop, so catchy and sweet. I LOVE it, lol. Man, they made this game for Zenfoldor and his hooligans!

Also, I like your sig. I think you should replace "Buyer's Remorse" with "Cognitive Dissonance" though.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'm tossing up between this and Professor Layton for my next DS purchase. Any help here? Probably leaning towards Layton a little, as I think it will better appeal to my wife.

One of the songs in the game, Calling, is just fantastic. It's currently my ringtone ^^

The game is just so good, i'm almost at the end and i keep getting "wow" moments, the story is filled with twists.

Huh? Did you seriously just put down Bleach: The Blade of Fate for DS?

 


I own Blade of Fate. It's good. The World Ends With You is Final Fantasy good. There's a difference.


 I wouldn't say TWEWY is Final Fantasy good.  I'm in Day 3 right now.  Its good, but not that good.  You must forget how great those games were.
