Dang. It's expensive, but in theory they'll still be getting the physical shipped to them, which they can then sell to make back most of it. I wonder if they'll just end up canceling the physical version for those orders. Though I guess then they'd also have to refund the shipping costs?

I haven't even played TWEWY 1

Final Remix is a good port despite the changes, and it's surprisingly short of you want it to be. Or you can watch the anime adaptation instead.

this has been my main dilemma

should i play the DS version or will I be fine/none the wiser if I just start with final remix? does final remix as my first experience of the game take anything away?

If you're talking about story, NEO follows the events of the anime I think, so which game you play doesn't really matter.

As far as gameplay goes the biggest difference is the different gameplay since one screen vs two.

right and my question is am i missing out on a super cool unique thing about the original game's control scheme, or is final remix's control scheme just as good/serviceable such that i will enjoy the game equally between the two versions?

like playing re4 on the wii with motion controls is a very different game from re4 on any other system, and fundamentally changes the game. ("fundamentally" might be a stretch, but you get the point.)

The dual-screen/character controls are a major part of what makes the game so great and is key to the games broader themes. You lose a lot in playing FR as your first experience. I would say its only serviceable for someone who has already played the game before.

Promotional material has made it pretty clear it picks up after the events of Final Remix's "A New Day", which the anime doesn't cover at all. But NEO focuses on a new set of protagonists, so it makes the most sense that anything relevant would have to be re-explained to the new characters anyway, so either way it should be fine.

Playing through it now and I don't think you lose too much. It's a slight downgrade at worst, sidegrade at best, and the way partners were implemented does add a different layer to the game. And while I haven't tried it myself, I'm told that enabling "co-op" and then controlling both characters yourself with motion controls is...interesting!

And the QOL features more than make up for it. Axing stuff like Mingle XP and being able to quickly cheese timed stuff like pin evolution and hunger is more than worth it and is honestly a good change because those systems were, let's face it, bad in the first place. And I value the Switch's ability to actually handle the soundtrack in good quality a great deal!

Plus as mentioned there's an additional episode in Final Remix. The bottom line is there is no definitive edition of the game anymore. You won't "miss" anything by playing through only Final Remix but if you highly value the pure and original gameplay experience then go ahead and track down a DS copy.

From what I've heard, since I've yet to play myself, is that handheld is the best way to play Final Remix. I hear the motion controls aren't so great

Motion controls aren't too bad. There's certain pin motions that are harder to do with motion controls, but there's so many viable pins you can just not use those ones.

Yeah I think the handheld mode is pretty good. I've done a little actual co-op with the motion controls and it was odd but fine.

I thought the first TWEWY was pretty cool but I haven't really heard anyone talk about this until this topic

was the demo disappointing or something, or am I just hanging out with the wrong people

I played the demo.

Unless the rest of the game is significantly worse, this game is going to be better than the original. Largely due to the gameplay improvements, mind - I hated the gameplay of the original. Simply could not wrap my head around it at all. But the rest was very good. And NEO preserves all of what made the original good while having decent gameplay, based off the demo.

Yeah there hasn't been a ton of promotion or marketing that I've seen. But there was a demo topic here that got a decent amount of replies.

Ha, this is funny. I thought Neo's battle system was oversimplified, though also I'm not going to judge it too much based on the first two days. It wasn't bad or anything though, I was just expecting more.

I agree with everything else though! Game should be a fun time. It's just still pretty niche so there hasn't been a ton of talk about it. The demo does transfer to the main game, so if anyone is thinking of checking out then go for it.

If anyone here did manage to get the digital version early, disconnect your Switch from the internet. Reports are popping up of Nintendo/Square suspending access to it now.

I've been reading plenty of impressions of people who got the game early, and it sounds like the battle system gets a lot more involved later on. First of all you don't even have all the party members by the time the demo ends, so even just getting that fourth character apparently makes a world of difference. Tons of different pin combinations and synergies with how they work together. Also reports of people having their asses handed to them by future bosses (on hard mode, anyway).

But also in general, response to the game as a whole has been immensely positive from what I'm reading. People saying it's everything they could've hoped for in a TWEWY sequel.

Yeah I figured it would be something like this. TWEWY loves slowly dishing out systems and is super easy until late in the game anyways so it checks out. I was just talking about the demo.
