I love The World Ends With You and would welcome a sequel but if THIS is seriously announced and released before Final Fantasy Versus XIII even gets a friggin' release date, I'll create a Nomura voodoo doll dammit! Just work on the games you already ha... oh, who cares. They'll never learn.
Hell no, screw that. I'm sure the world ends with you is a fine game, bu I still haven't managed to put myself in the mood to finish the first one, and I completely agree with the sentiment that this guy needs to stop having so many projects at once. I don't want him to have a single though go through his procrastinating little head until versus xiii and KH3 are out, then he can work on other stuff
Neku is the worst main character that I have ever seen in a JRPG. That said, It was a great game. I wish that I could have ignored the second screen and stylus like most DS Jrpgs but It's quality was undeniable. Maybe this one will let me ignore the gimmick. Or maybe we can see a vita release.
I agree with karavision. Neku is about as cookie cutter and plain as can be. But the game and premise were good. I wonder how it would play on the WiiU
It was probably the best SE made game I've played in years. I'd very much welcome a sequel.
At the same time, try and finish what you're already working on, then we'll talk.

Also, if you think Neku was a terrible, you missed the point. The battle system was also incredibly ingenious, with Neku's attack not being limited by the amount of buttons or retarded combos. Just action. The two screen play also means hectic pattern recognition, used to manage both characters. The game isn't meant for slow thinkers, I guess.
Fuck. Yes.
This is the video game equivalent to patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. Only way awesomer than either of those shit things.

Slow thinker, not really. I just don't like Nintendo gimmicks that add nothing to a game. If you liked it, fine. Try not to insult people because your precious Husbando and the decisions of your glorious Nippon were brought into question. There is a reason that the 3DS is now adopting a tradional button layout. But worry not, by the looks of New Dante's punk ass. You'll have no shortages of emo bitches to play ass in the future.
TWEWY was amazing and one of my all time favorite DS games. This is great news(hopefully) and I can't wait to hear some details.
I never saw anything special about this game except:
- Terrible protagonist, horribly cliched. Cloud and Squall are emo enough as it is. Neku wasn't even interesting.
- Basically stole the plot to s number of Shin Megami Tensei games, SMT Nine in particular (only released in Japan, but still, Google it).
- Gameplay was a confusing, poorly designed mess.
SMT:Devil Survivor was worlds better than this game, and ironically accused of being a TWEWY rip-off by the know-nots that had no experience with SMT, where demons tend to outbreak in Shibuya all the fucking time.

YESSSSSS!!!
The first is my favorite DS game by far. One of the first games to actually put the dual screens AND the touch screen to good use.
A sequel would probably mean breaking down and buying a 3DS, but by the time it comes out, I'm sure Nintendo will have the 3DSDubNub out and I'll buy that.

TWEWY was one of my favorite games on the DS of all-time, and it was made me take my friend's DS away. A sequel is always welcome, but nevertheless, I'm still awaiting for Versus XIII and that should be the priority.
Would've loved the game had the combat system not been so awkward. And I hardly think that for any decent game.
TWEWY was hands down one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Not just of this generation, but of my entire gaming experience. I'd love to see a sequel. Just make sure everything about it is just as good if not better than the original.
Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing a new character take the spotlight. Neku grew up a lot in TWEWY so there wouldn't be much point in continuing his story.

people complain to much this was an awesome game and It had unique combat that I enjoyed can't wait for a sequal
"I just don't like Nintendo gimmicks that add nothing to a game. If you liked it, fine. There is a reason that the 3DS is now adopting a tradional button layout."
What traditional button layout, is the 3DS offering, over the DS? The buttons are all exactly the same, but they only added a analog stick to it. So you thought a touchscreen was a gimmick on the DS? Than why does the PSVita have a touchscreen now? Is it still a gimmick? Is it a gimmick on the iPhone as well? I just don't get how people automatically screams gimmick, when Nintendo does something, but they praise other company's to the high heavens, for doing what Nintendo did 6 years ago. Now all of a sudden, its revolutionary and not a gimmick at all. Whatever!

@Karavision Gimmick? The whole battle system was double screened, and once you got the hang of it IT worked.
Neku was a fine character once you finished the game. In fact, the ending is what made it so special.
SPOILER
The fact that you don't win the "battle", and instead the happy ending comes from the villain redeeming himself thanks to your efforts was... wow.
SPOILER OVER
The whole difficulty system was great and created an amazing risk-reward system.
I for once welcome TWEWY 2, but I hate that this guy is biting more than he can chew

What I liked about TWEWY was that it was self-contained like BioShock. I don't see a need for a sequel, but I'd still be really excited about one if it was handled well.
It's a gimmick when I have to use minigames with the stylus to start a fucking car in GTA. It's a gimmick when I could very easily control a Zelda game like A Link to the Past but I have to use the damn stylus. It's a giimick in Donkey Kong Country when I have to fucking waggle instead of hitting a button to spin like in the past. Most Developers on the Vita will ignore the touchscreen in core titles. By the way, fuck touch controls on mobie.
I was hoping The World Ends With You to be an one-off and leave it like that.
I really liked the game, I wouldn't call it a MegaTen ripoff though. It threaded on similar themes but the story was secondary to the gameplay for me. As a whole was very good
Can't compare it to Devil Survivor because they were doing two different things gameplay and story-wise.

@karavision
agreed
although I think the second screen is the real gimmick. I mean I like my ds, but how many games REALLY take full advantage of both screens? I'm tired of ds games where one screen is entirely devoted to an inventory screen/map, which can be convenient sometimes, but it seems like the vast majority of ds games could be pulled off on a single touch screen system. (although ironically, The World Ends With You is the only game I can think of that really does take advantage of both screens, so I guess my point is a little misplaced)

After seeing the KH 3DS trailer, Im thinking on buying one, just because Neku is in it.
If there is a TWEWY sequel, Im sold.
Its the best DS game ever.

@karavision, its people like you that try to stick to the same old controls that cause other people to complain that there's no innovation in games anymore. Sure there are many games that could be better without "gimmicks" , but there are many that make good use of alternative control methods, TWEWY being one of them. And even though you don't like touch control in phone games, the iPhone and Angry Birds prove that millions would disagree with you
Just for the record, I bought all of those games that I mentioned. I am not out to shit on Nintendo, I just wish that could enjoy myself like on the GC and the SP. No gimmicks and none of that "everyone's a winner" bullshit on Mario Kart and Smash brothers.
Great news! TWEWY was a benchmark on innovation, using EVERY function of the DS, and breaking so many cliches and molds of traditional RPG's, can't wait to see what can they do with the new 3DS functions.
i might play that kingdumb hearts just to see that The World Ends With You world, that game seriously was the best in the DS library, and that's saying A LOT
This is some good news. Great game, might pick it up again actually.
I love that some pubes here are ragging on Neku...

Finally SE, a TWEWY sequel! I've waited for this for years, the original was my favorite DS game because of how innovative it was with it's gameplay. I also liked the characters, Sho Minamimoto may be one of my favorite characters ever, just maybe.
I'll admit that I'm a bit worried about a sequel though. First of all, they need to finish their current projects. Second, it's very likely that they will fuck the game up by bringing Neku back. His story is over, I say bring in a new cast in a similar scenario and a different location than Shibuya.
Can't say I'm surprised at all the hate here, the game isn't for everyone.
@The Silent Protagonist
Neku is a character he is all about growth, he starts out emo, but gets better as the game goes on. Also I don't see how the game copied the SMT series at all. The theme of 7 days is in A LOT of things so if anything the SMT series copied it from somewhere else.
@Karavision
Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Karavision, it's fine if you disliked the game. Neku's character developed over the course of it from emo kid to actual human being, but if you disliked that, cool.
But it's not a gimmick just because you disliked the battle system. It's a new way to play a game, simple as that. Hell, the touch screen in Ocarina of Time 3D made things ten times more efficient due to shortcuts. Some games use it as a gimmick, of course, but it's not gimmicky just because it's there.
I love SMT. I also loved TWEWY. Did they have some similarities? Sure. Does that mean one rips off the other? No, especially considering Devil Survivor was about demons invading Tokyo, where TWEWY is about people thrown into a mysterious game in Shibuya.
I'm not sure what they could do with a sequel. Place it somewhere other than Shibuya? Use Joshua as the only recurring character?

People who think Neku is a terrible character are flat retarded and understand nothing about character development. But hey, I guess they're entitled to the opinion. Now, for a sequel, they should definitely shift the cast and location, possibly to another fashion center. Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Buenos Aires and Milan all come to mind as interesting, bustling fashion and social centers of the world. Also, we need to remember that each zone has it's own rules and a separate Composer.
*SPOILER ALERT**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER*
*SPOILER*Joshua is only the Composer of Shibuya*SPOILER*
*END SPOILER ALERT**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER*
So the entire cast needs to be changed with a location shift.

@Anyone hating on Neku Sakuraba and The World Ends With You: Did you actually finish the game? Did you witness the character growth happening to everyone in it? Did you appreciate the ability to customize how you fight, from the controls and attacks right down to changing the difficulty on the fly and making the top screen totally automatic? What about the amazing replayability, with chapter select and the hilarious extra day?
No? Then I think you need to play that game again. It's the best game ever made.

I was a fan of TWEWY, I'll admit that how great the game is has has been exaggerated, but I still really enjoyed it. I thought half of the story was good, and most of the battle system was fun. My two favorite things about the game were the first chapter, hearing Neku's inner thoughts about Shiki were amazing. He was such a jerk, I normally dislike rude characters, but he was hilarious. It was a pretty big contrast between him and pure of the heart Sora (at least in the beginning of the game).
The second reason I enjoyed the game was Sho Minamimoto. The way he talked adding "zetta" to everything and calling everyone hectopascals and yoctograms it was awesome. Mathematician slang is what sold me on this game. If it wasn't for those two things I might have fallen in with the crowd of people disappointed by the game. It was a good game, but not an amazing one. I hope this sequel is just as good, it's definitely on my do buy list.
