i havent even shown the deck yet

what a gang of bras cassés (endearing)

#not sorry for using french on main. get used to it #anyways. for an explanation of what “bras cassés” means:#literally - “broken arms”. less literally - a person/group who isn't good at anything but like. in a joking way. it's a humorous insult ig?#it's light and very rarely taken seriously #to be serious with it -> instead of saying “bras cassés” you say “bon à rien”#ntwewy playing time #post anesthetics posts

Shibuya syndrome’s only redeeming quality was serving as a pretext for Operation Awakening.

It really was like one of neo’s most grating plot elements, ‘oh no this noise is eating people’s soul!’ as if that wasn’t a thing noise have been doing since day 1 without such severe effects. Noise+ with more devastating impact, I guess, but I found it hard to buy.

I try to give neo some credit for taking a different approach to its story instead of retracing twewy’s footsteps. But shibuya syndrome, 3-week structure, and Rindo being Joshua’s proxy (...? For uh, reasons and purposes the game is committed to never making clear) are all places where neo hews too close to the original to its own detriment.

A lot of the effectiveness of ‘to right the countless wrongs’ in twewy was finding the npc’s we’ve gotten to know fall under its influence. And while Ryoji might be one such example, and kariya/ayano/kanon all succumbed to it to some degree, these were all story events. It wasn’t a part of the world in the sense that the player could choose to run up to talk to them only to be hit with “...”.

That’s another thing, the wonderful world mantra was both more unsettling and thematically relevant than uh, nothing at all. You could try to extract some meaning of Shibuya syndrome reflecting Rindo’s unwillingness to speak up. But compared to the crystal clear role to right the countless wrongs plays in twewy’s message it feels incredibly lacking.

In terms of lore and world building, it’s also a nuisance. There isn’t really a thorough explanation of how operation awakening even solved shibuya syndrome. Sync up with them and send a reminder, sure, got it. But what happened to all the noise? The cinematic with people’s soul’s leaving their bodies is also incredibly hard to parse. Oh other weirdness, on day 4 with the ‘zombies’, why are the wicked twisters even viewing people in the rg a threat? I guess the noise in them could come leaping out at them but it’s still weird and disorienting. I’d hoped the secret reports would’ve offered more clarity to all this, but in the words of coco, lol nope jk.

#twewy #neo twewy #the world ends with you #Neo The World Ends With You #ntwewy #I'm not saying its ripping off of p3's apathy syndrome but I'm also not saying it isn't obnoxiously remniscient of it #only played like a couple hours of that game most of my knowledge of it is incomplete second hand knowledge #and like I'm sure it's not such a not uncommon trope #I'm so sorry for all these double negatives but it's how I feel #I wish I was more articulate alas words are hard there's a better discussion to be had on thematic relevance #than I offered sorry

Hello! After seeing your gorgeous TWEWY-styled artworks, I was wondering if you played the sequel :0

If so, how did you like it? :]

Hi!! ^_^ I just got NTWEWY for switch recently and I am still going thru it! Going in relatively spoiler-free and being not very far in (I think), there's not much I can say haha. But I really like the graphics, all the noise look suuper cute in 3D!! Here's a Rindo for you :)

#The change of fighting style is kinda a bummer but I realize I am a geewun about these things #I wonder if Nekky will be a Conducto r like fanfiction foretold #kaa.txt

🎮 — favorite video game(s)?

🎶 — favorite song at the moment?

@arcxnumvitae | Munday asks | Accepting!

🎮 — favorite video game(s)?

My favorites change pretty often actually, so BEHOLD! My list of games that I tend to recommend to people, and games that I keep going back to here and there:

Po.kemon Yel.low/Cry.stal/Em.erald (Yellow was the very first videogame I ever owned when I was like...5 or maybe 6 tbh yeah I started really young video games were actually a huge part of the reason I learned to read so well at a young age, and then Crystal and Emerald were the first ones that I was actually old enough to understand how to actually progress through and beat.

Pok.emon Stadium 1 & 2 (I still have my N64 and stuff SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE, OG OCARINA OF TIME, AND DK64 OKAY?)

The World Ends With You & NTWEWY (Actually the og game might be my all time favorite game. It came out when I was but an angsty...god, I can't remember if it was in 8th or 9th grade, but you get the point. Anyway, because of that, the premise really hit home. Even after I got older, there were always new aspects of it that really stick with me for different reasons)

Dra.gon Age series (Listen. LISTEN. I know it gets a lot of heat, and YEAH there's a lot of problems with them. But some of the characters are just very near and dear to my HEART OKAY LET ME HAVE THIS)

Hol.low Kn.ight (*cue sobbing in "I love those goofy little bugs"*)

Bl.oodbo.rne/El.den R.ing (*cue sobbing in "I promise I'm not a masochist"* But also that lore though????? Spoiler-ish, but ER's stuff on madness and "outer gods" is what made me want to start fleshing out what's happening in the blog's current arc. Amyg.dala from BB is what initially gave me the idea for some things I wanted to include in Ezzion's other form when I first made them, too. not me outing how long I've had some of these muses for)

End.er L.ilies (Okay but listen. If you haven't ever heard of this game before? It's a little difficult, so I won't demand that everyone play it, but at least watch a playthrough of it! So good! There's one boss fight in particular that took me forever to beat, but between the moveset and the music, and the stage the fight takes place in, it's soooo satisfying)

C.ode V.ein (Again, shhhhhhhhhhhh. I know it's anime d.ark so.uls, but the story actually has a lot of really interesting aspects to it. Plus, again, and unsurprising to literally everyone, the characters drew me in orz)

FFXIV (I play with Kei a lot, and I'm attached to my little wol siblings, okay?)

Spi.ritfarer (This one is a fairly simple game, but it had me and Kei and two of our friends that recommended the game to us originally legitimately CRYING at a few points. It's pretty wholesome, but definitely has some really powerful messages to it, too.)

Lobo.tomy Corp./Lib.rary of R.uina/Lim.bus Co.mpany (I'm gonna preface this by saying that this series gets really dark, and fucked up really fast, so don't go deep diving into it if you're not good with that. But there's a lot of really interesting stuff lore-wise, and I love so many of the characters. Will also say that for the first two games I definitely love the story more than the gameplay at times)

🎶 — favorite song at the moment?

I don't have a favorite song, so uhhhh, I'll just say that a lot of my playlists are primarily composed of video game music. I have a really wide range of music genres I listen to, from all kinds of different places, so I can, at any time, just whip out whatever songs suit the Vibe of the Day™

I also sing, like...a LOT. Like...A LOT, a lot. So I can also get really into broadway/musical stuff, and other things with really powerful vocals where I can just unleash the kraken regardless of my mood, usually. For example, I just got Kei really into Epic last week or the week before.

#[what is she getting us into now? -ooc-]#There's a lot of other games but like.#it was already getting long #so I decided to stop with what I had on there already

Who's your favorite twewy/ neo twewy character and why? Who is your least favorite?

thank you for the ask!

My favorite twewy character is Joshua for sure., love him a lot blorbo supreme I think about him at least once every day lol

Out of all the characters introduced in ntwewy, Shoka was by far my favorite. I already loved her design from the jump and characters who begin as antagonistic and then become a part of the team later on are one of my favorite tropes so I was excited in the direction of her character arc and was very surprised but happy her and Rindo became the emotional core to the end of the game.

As for characters I dislike, I don't think there are any? I think each character has something I've come around to appreciate. But I will say when I first played twewy, I didn't like Konishi much. I think she's an icon now tho lol

#asks #anon #always happy to talk about my favorite game <3

I am American and I can sadly only speak English (and a small amount of other stuff) because of Brain Damage Reasons, so if I misunderstand plz be patient ty!!! So here is a list of all the things I can recall I care about. If it’s bolded it causes me massive brainrot and I love it to death, probably. Non-comprehensive Games List:

Everything Not Games:

Sailor Moon, When They Cry, Dragon Ball, Code Geass, Pandora Hearts, Star Driver, Lupin the Third, Detective Conan, Angel Beats, some older Pokemon, Digimon (esp Tamers, Frontier, and 02), OG Yugioh (manga too), Madoka, Little Witch Academia, Kamen Rider (W/Futo PI mostly), Paranoia Agent, Mahou Sentai Magiranger, MLP (mostly Equestria Girls tbh), She-ra PoP, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Cats (the musical), Phantom of the Opera, Beetlegeuse (musical too), some Disney, Gundam (Mobile Fighter G / Wing), GitS, RWBY, Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, Wander Over Yonder, PPG, Sonic Prime, March Story, Homestuck, some Vtubers (Garbage Barstool), Alice in __ (Country of Hearts/Clover/etc.), Vocaloid/SynthV (Evillious, Deadline Circus, basically anything Gakupo or Kaito), Ghost & Pals, Clover song series, Vampair, Voltaire’s music in general tbh, Blood+, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, YYH, Spiderverse, Gwenpool, Venomverse, Red Hood, Teen Titans, Howl’s Moving Castle (the books and movie), and other various Ghibli films (HMC and Princess Mononoke are my favorites that aren’t Spirited Away or Porco Rosso), Tithe series (novels), Yozakura Quartet, Are You Alice, FMA (original), Fruits Basket, Adventure Time, horror stuff in general rly (I fucking love Junji Ito’s anthologies.)

... If you read all this, hey thanks, and go play Case Book of Arne. Or Paranormasight. Or NTWEWY. They all need more love--

wanted to make a little blog post documenting some real life going ons and things i've been playing/watching! :o

Truthfully not much going on IRL for me as it is too cold to do anything 🥴 I keep saying the moment it gets hot here I'll be up early and take advantage of good weather like I'm not going to run back inside to an AC-chilled room the moment I start sweating too much LOL Also took a brief hiatus from the gym just to focus on some life/hobby stuff after work, still been going good with my dieting so it's not a big issue. So besides that, really not much going on. Been slacking on making art lately but trying to work on something atm. In regards to stuff I've been indulging in lately: Games:

FFXIV: 6.1 dropped so I've been having fun with the game again after a brief break. I've been enjoying the PVP revamp to an extent, sadly not enough to grind for the Garo mounts sorry LOL Sailers also did some Endsinger EX and that was a lot of fun! Current goal is to get a clear from that and go back to leveling crafters.

NEO: The World Ends With You: I started this one about... a month ago now, I wanna say? I've absolutely been loving everything about this game so far and am always listening to the OST on my way to work everyday LOL Probably about more than halfway done with the game and if postgame stuff isn't too annoying to go through maybe I'll do it right after... or just save it for an NG+ run in the future. But I'm having a blast for sure right now.

Twisted Wonderland: I'm only mentioning this because lately I fall off of gachas really quickly. The moment leveling units starts to feel like work the uninstall is inevitable. However, since the game is really more a card collector visual novel where stats don't matter, I don't feel nearly as stressed to do shit. It's nice. My plans after NTWEWY are to either pick up Kirby or start DQXI which has been on the backburner for a while but it'll most likely be Kirby. I need a bit of a JRPG break after this lol Shows/Channels I've been watching:

The Ultimatum: What can I fucking say about this honestly?? You are not immune to watching straight people be messy as shit on one of these trash tv shows. I fucking love it.

Rilakkuma and Kaoru: Already seen this one when it came out, but gave it a light re-watch as background noise while doing some drawing last night. I'm still mad they'll never make more of this, it still warms my heart as much as the first time I watched it.

I Will Always Travel For Food: If you are familiar with TabiEats (foodie vlog channel run by two Japanese dudes named Shinichi and Satoshi), you'll also probably know this one? It's a side channel run by Shinichi where he doesn't talk and just quietly shows stuff and adds commentary through subtitles. I watch his other two channels where he tends to talk (not that I have an issue with that LMAO) it's just that I tend to prefer the ASMR on it and reading the subs. If you like Japanese food and restaurants (and are also possibly trying to fill the niche of not being able to go to Japan rn), I recommend this! The Ultimatum is giving me a 90 day Fiance itch again so that feels like something that I'll be watching sometime soon LOL And that's pretty much what I've been into as of late 😤

#idk what i should label these kinds of posts as... oh i got it #loz news network

i have influenced my brother to play ntwewy (dont have regular on me rn bc i let somebody borrow it) and he loves it which im happy to see! however at one peint he did dramatically stand up like he was abt to stretch and instead just caressed sho's sprite on the screen. so idk whether the kids are alright or not

No, no. That is normal behavior. I am pretty sure Nagi is like THAT (a Loser™) just to mock the Sho fans.

The kids are alright, I say.

japanese is fascinating to hear when you're on the verge of comprehension but lack the means to cross over into understanding

#it's that って. ilove to hear っ in general. it creates that slight pause you can hear before a consonant #(iirc it doubles the consonant it precedes - causing that pause because in japanese you do that whenever っ appears ?)#if im hearing it correctly rindo is saying “生きるって言っていいとも”#(in romanji: ikiru tte itte ii tomo")#im like. Barely on the verge of being able to understand it. Just Barely. it;s insane #i know the Essence of what he's saying but to provide an equivalent in another language? no can do!#someone who knows japanese please help me out here #ntwewy playing time #post anesthetics posts

my experience in neo: the world ends with you

spoilers for both twewy and ntwewy btw

woo I finally beat this game. The story was.... Eh. I didn't like the story. throughout the game I was wondering when it was gonna get good and then... it never really did. shiba becomes a twist good guy. shoka is a gamer girl for some reason. tsugumi does nothing despite being hyped up 10 years before the game was announced.

I think it's cool that they brought back old characters, but did they really need to bring back the ENTIRE twewy cast?

Beat being a party member was fine. Minamimoto is there but only for the first few days and then he's gone until week 3. Why the hell are joshua and shiki here as well when they contribute nothing to the plot? AND WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BRING BACK LITTLE MIS MICRO TRANSACTIONS?? You can keep neku in though he reminds me of a friend and I always like when he's on screen.

So about shoka being swallow.. I don't think that was a good plot twist at all. First, they teased swallow was in the game by showing someone in a hoodie that looked nothing like shoka, implying that beat was swallow. Okay, good start, now we know swallow is in the game. Next, swallow reveals that they're in the game, but won't say anything else. Ok cool, now the characters know. Finally, all the other teams die but swallow still reads messages. Now we have reason to believe swallow is a reaper and on the ruinbringers. AND THEN THEY THREW ALL THAT OUT THE WINDOW AND HAD SWALLOW BE SHOKA WHY. THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE WASN'T SHE LOCKED OUT OF HER ACCOUNTS AFTER BEING KICKED OUT OF THE REAPERS?? WHY WOULD SHE BE ABLE TO READ MESSAGES?? AND EVEN IF SHE WAS ABLE TO READ THEM WHY DON'T THEY GIVE OFF THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS?? THEY SHOULD'VE NOTICED BY THEN THAT SHOKA'S PHONE MYSTERIOUSLY VIBRATED WHENEVER RINDO SENT A MESSAGE.

sorry. I think that plot twist sucks.

Kubo being an angel had no fanfare at all and I don't like that. He was literally just like "oh also I'm an angel prepare to die"

Joshua. Bud. Why are you here. Joshua shows up at the end just to ask neku to be composer and then teleports shoka to cat street and never shows up again. Why.

Onto the things about this game that I ACTUALLY like..

The music is phenomenal. They took everything about twewy's aesthetic and modernized it. They even did the same thing with the art style. The character interactions are great and I loved seeing beat and fret's dynamic. I love these dumbasses. I like that nagi finally started opening up to fret near the end. I like neku and rindo's interactions. I like that fret tried out elestra at the end because nagi told him to and thought that was really cute. That's it.

Final verdict: 6/10.

Ntwewy would've worked better as a reboot than a sequel to a 15 year old game.

I haven't unlocked the secret reports because I am burnt out on playing this game. I'm gonna go play a worse game now (bdsp)
