Board 8 > darkx plays The World Ends With You [blind playthrough] [spoilers] [TWEWY]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Given the hard-on that the board has for this game it's pretty amazing that I'm pretty much unspoiled/totally blind for this game. Here's a rundown of what I DO know about the game:

-It's a Square-Enix RPG
-The combat is at least partially rhythm-based(?)
-It heavily uses the dual/touch screen
-There is a hero named Neku Sakuraba who makes a cameo in a Kingdom Hearts game
-There is a villain(?) named Sho Minamimoto
-I THINK the plot has to do with some sort of game that the characters are part of where loss = death?

And that about sums it up. Otherwise I have no idea what I'm in store for.

From this point on, I will post spoilers up to where I've played. Please do not post any spoilers beyond where I've played to (even in spoiler tags, as my phone has a habit of clicking on not-where-I-touch).

Finally started and... wow they kinda threw a lot at me at once here! I'm not even fully used to controlling Neku and I'm already controlling a second character on a different screen in a totally different manner? How hard is this going to be to get used to?

Anyway I managed to beat some bear boss and... I'm already on Day 2?

Tagging :)

Are you playing the DS version? It's such a unique game.

I never did, but mashing random buttons while focusing on Neku was usually good enough

Yes I am

It kinda seems like there's some VN elements to this as well so far...

The best advice to getting used to playing on both screens is to focus on whatever screen has the light puck.

Have fun! I should get around to playing the sequel someday.
