[DS] 'World Ends With You' (aka It's a Wonderful World) coming Stateside

That's the problem with the gameplay. It's a different learning curve for everyone because it depends on how good you are at multi tasking. You can put your partner on auto with 3 different speeds. You will benefit nowhere near as much as when you manually control him/her though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can't think of an RPG I've enjoyed this much in almost all aspects (Pokemon Diamond was definitely up there, but that's enjoyable for entirely unique reasons), which is why I'm making that kind of claim.

I'm working on the Angel Magnum myself. Thank god for the DS internal clock trick. Just in case anyone hasn't figured it out, you can fast forward the DS internal clock for quick and easy shutdown PP. Just do it week by week because I don't think you get any more after a week.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

-Couldn't hold my attention. Battle system seemed slow in growth, and after about seven hours I was still using the same two badges to get max combos.
-Awful character design.
-Seems to suffer from "press A to get through the dialog ASAP" syndrome.
-Lectures about how to be hip.

That last one pretty much started killing my interest.

I understand that you do not like the look of the characters, but I thought they were aiming for the trendy looks in Japan right now. From what I know, they hit the nail on the head with that. Same thing about the whole "hip" factor.

Britney Spears' Toxic. In my Taiko Drum Master. Words cannot describe the lameness.

To say The World Ends with You is an accurate representation of Shibuya youth culture is silly. It's more along the lines of a caricature of Tokyo's upper middle-class' youth socialites and their goofyass fashion sense.

Point taken. But you're still saying that it's following their current fashion sense. Whether it's exaggerated or not.

I still have to debate that I see no difference. You're just using a fancier word for exaggerate. It's really a moot point anyway. I have nothing to prove here so I'll shut up now. My apologies for going so off track.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I feel ya on the Joshua issues early on. The problem I had with him was that his attack wouldn't fire off until you finish the chain. They do reward you for using a longer chain, but he's almost totally wide open the whole time. You'll love him when he can attack from the air though. It's just a damn shame that's almost at the end of that week. -_-
