The World Ends With You (DS)

[StarlightAngel]

I just finished the main game, so now I'm doing the extra stuff at the end <3 (SPOILER)I'm loving the alternate chapter. "Must... resist... urge... to be emo..." and the whole Who-Gets-To-Be-Pink thing are sooooo much win~! Though, I was a little sad not to see an entire picture of Shiki as she looks in the RG ):

I don't really see a sequel coming from this. The ending seems pretty final to me.

Too much Chain of Memories for me.

[ljkkjlcm9]

haha
it's quite different from chain of memories. It did take a lot of the strong points from that game however, and drop many of the weakpoints.

I love how there's something called "Matoya's Spell" (in a book you can get) and it says, "Push L and R at the save screen" in reverse. FF1 reference!

Yay, glad to see that in my 2 weeks of abscense there are people who are into the game now. Sad to say I'm not very far from where I was when I posted, but now that I'm back to civilization I'm likely to get into it again.

I like 'The World Ends With Two'

Back to civilization? You were in Australia. :P And you went back to Bermuda. xD

I was officially overwhelmed when they started talking about trends.

I was officially overwhelmed when they started talking about trends.

you can pretty much ignore trends. As it turns out, the trends of the pin/clothes you use the most will become more popular. So really it only hurts to use the lowest trend in an area in the first battle or chain of battles. The only time I've ever bothered with trends is when I need to to clear a wall blocked by a reaper.

interesting thing about trends is that each one represents a part of the Zodiac.
"D+B", the Ox.
"Wild Boar", the Pig.
"Pegaso", the Horse.
"Mus Rattus", the Rat.
"Hip Snake", the Snake.
"Tigre Punks", the Tiger.
"Pavo Real" the Chicken.
"Natural Puppy", the Dog.
"Sheep Heavenly", the Sheep.
"Lapin Angelique", the Rabbit.
"Dragon Couture", the Dragon.
"Jupiter of the Monkey", the Monkey.

then there's gatito, which is just a cat... wonder why a cat was not in the zodiac...

You should read Fruits Basket :</>D!

[Ashi]

Thanks ljkkjlcm9. I only really play when I'm commuting early in the morning or late at night right before bed so my comprehension skills aren't really great then, heh.

As for the cat and the chinese zodiac... yes, like Jessweeee♪ mentioned, Fruits Basket does tell a story. I don't know if that's the real thing or not, though.

I noticed advertisements for this game all over Akihabara last summer and I was really intrigued. I tried playing the Japanese one but my language skill are still very sub-par. I snatched this up as soon as the US release came around and I was very impressed. The game is visually impressive, at least in a 2D realm. The battle system is one of the most innovative on the DS and incorporates the touch screen very well. There are some minor gripes when different abilities have similar strokes, but overall it works very well. The whole funky Shibuya style is what really gets me and I love the soundtrack. It's fun to evolve pins and I've been playing with a friend, and while the multiplayer isn't super deep, it's nice to get Mingle PP and Tin Pin Slammer is nice for a quick break from the main game.

Hooray!

[ljkkjlcm9]

well, with pins with similar ways of activating... it uses the pins from left to right first... or just use Sub pins by pressing L or R on the pin you want to set as a sub pin, then hold it in battle to use it. These two ways of controlling pins makes it very handy to do some good little set ups. I'm finding most of the game is very easy, but the special boss in Another Day is insane! While I've been able to beat just about every other boss on ultimate with little difficulty when playing around level 20 (boosted rate of 85 for items) this boss destroyed me in seconds. I ended up beating him on easy just to beat him, considering I will beat every enemy on every difficulty anyways. I needed some serious stat raising before Ultimate on him then!

THE JACKAL

Indeed, this is the key to making sure you're using the right pin when it has a similar activation method. That annoyed me quite a bit before I remembered I could use sub-pins.

[Clouded Sky]

Yeah, I realized that when I went back to play.

I just finished week 2, on to week 3!

saw it, but I almost have 100% completion on this game now... I'll take a picture of it and post it or something when I do. Any questions about this game... I will gladly answer.
