Square-Enix The World Ends With You

The first time i ever saw this i thought it was actually a KH spinofff and it actually looks like i will be addicted to it instead of Nintendogs

 

D:

I wish I had a friend who owns a private game retailer. ;_;

 

I love this game

 

Just some tips for when you guys gets this great game.

Abilities (What you would call spells, magic, special attacks, etc.) are called "Psychs" in this game, and these "Psychs" are in embedded in "Pins" that you find and collect throughout the game.

Anyway, your Pins level up independantly from Neku, and all have their own Damages, Effects, Terms of Use, Touch-Motions to Activate, Elemental properties, and even how fast/slow they level up. If you've played Final Fantasy X-2, it's a similar system to that of how the Dress Sphere's many abilities leveled up based on how much you use them, and eventually get "Mastered" (I know Finla Fantasy X-2 was admittedly a mediocre game, but the level up mechanics of the game were legitimately a good idea)

So moving on, when you look at the description of a Pin it'll tell you either "This Pin can Evolve" or that the Pin cannot Evolve. So, certain Pins through certain means actually evolve into more Powerful Pins.

The way Pins Evolve is through specific types of EXP in the game, for a Pin to evolve it will want that the majority of the EXP it's gained to have been from 1 of 3 types of EXP. So for Example, the Psych "Aqua Ghost" requires that the majority (More than 50%) of it's total EXP be from Battle EXP (EXP gained from using the Pin in Battle), if more than 50% of it's EXP s from Battle and you Master that Pin, suddenly it'll start glowing and Evolve into "Aqua Demon", a much more powerful Pin for you to use and level up some more.

The 3 Types of EXP are:
Battle EXP (EXP gained from using that Pin in Battle)
Shut-Down EXP (EXP gained from not playing the game)
Mingle EXP (EXP gained from using the Pin in Multiplayer)

What's this? Shut Down EXP? I'm not sure I mentioned that before, but yes, The World Ends With You gives you EXP for not playing the game! Early on in the Game the tutorial states "We know that life can be busy and you don't want to worry or feel guilty about not playing your Game, so the game automatically rewards you with Shut-Down- EXP, where your character and your equipped Pins gradually gain EXP over the course of the day you've spent not playing the game, so you can leave the game at home worry free, and be excited for the Prize waiting for you when you can finally start playing again"

So yes, certain Pins' evolutions suggest that you equip them and then just leave the game for awhile, and then the game will automatically award them with Shut-Down EXP towards their Evolution.

Also, don't worry about not knowing what % of a Pin's EXP was gained from a certain type, when you click on a Pin's description, there'll be a helpful Meter there that tells you what % of it's EXP came from where, and it's color coded. (Red: Mingle, Blue: Battle, Green: Shut Down). So, just make sure that 1/2 that Bar is the right color, and when you Master that Pin it'll evolve.

 

Hey dude, there's already a thread about this >>;

Go there to see my opinion.

 

Thanks MuffinMan. Now im even more hyped to get the game. The shut down exp makes me laugh for some reason, but thats a pretty interesting way to gain exp lol. The leveling system sounds awesome though. The evolution of pins and the individual leveling makes me wanna just warp to the future for it.

 

Just picked up the game today at GameStop. I'm liking the vibe of this game though it took me nearly all day to find a stylus for my DS. I'm currently on Day 2. I also like the music, and it's to be expected when it comes to Square. Could you imagine Kingdom Hearts mixing with this game?

 

I just got the game this morning and it's pretty good. Already past Day one.

 

You see... If you already have the PSP for KH BBS, I have the DS for Subarashiki Kono Sekai and KH 358/2 Days...
But I don't have PSP for KH BBS...!!!!!
DAMN!!!

 

That would seriously be an interesting story to write. There might be a little confusion between Kairi and the look alike (don't know name!).

 

Her name's Shiki

Does anyone have this game yet? I got it today and I dont understand how to cash in Yen Pins for actuall Yen, help plz?

 

Just drag them to the trash can.

 

Ugh!

Stop it, you guys!!!

You're making me want this game more and more... :(

Haha, I'm totally kidding... but serious at the same time. O.O

How much does a DS cost? I'm willing to spend my money to play this puppy.

 

I think they are around $90-$100.

 

REALLY?!

I think I have that much..

This game is MINE.

 

The game itself is like $35. But it's worth it. It's definitly challenging.

 

I'm guessing the story line is pretty good itself?

And... Shiki, was it?... is my favorite character so far. Even if it was just the videos I watched. :p

 

does the game use voice acting or what? i want to buy this game badly.

 

Yes, it does have voice acting, but it's mostly during battles. Like KH:CoM (GBA version)

 

i know how you did it~
