WhooFlungPoo-_- Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 This game is leaving psn plus March 19 2024. Was wondering if this is worth going for before then if I've never played the original? Saw reviews and they all seem positive, but my backlog is huge with a lot of stuff I want to finish and/or play. With that in mind I'm in the process of watching a recap of the prequel. So far the premise sounds fun. Due to its length, is it worth it to go for it with such little time left, or wait for it to go on sale and pick it up with unlimited time to plat?

Breakingthegreen Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 There's an anime of the original you could watch as a shorter way to catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmaBR Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The game is worth going through. The plat is a pain, and I wouldn't advise rushing through it. Do watch that recap first, and be sure to look at the extra content the Switch version had. By the end NEO references that stuff a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhooFlungPoo-_- Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Curious if you could elaborate on "pain"? Just wanna get all the info I can before deciding to hit it before its deletion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very grindy and many items needed for plat depend on RNG to drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob12345678 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Second that the plat is awful. Takes forever and is not fun to go for. Honestly I didn't like the game much either. The combat doesn't really work very well compared to the first game on DS (can't speak for the switch version) and most of the good music is just rehashes of tracks from that game too. If you wanna experience TWEWY I'd just play the first one. It makes great use of the dual screen and touch screen features of the DS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamurotetsu Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I personally can't recommend this game, it's far too long. I like the overall battle system and pin customization, but once the game makes you play spot the difference Where's Wally style with pictures, I had enough. It's as bad as it sounds. You can't skip cutscenes either, so you have to mash X to get through. If you enjoy Tetsuya Nomura plot nonsense like Kingdom Hearts, you'll probably enjoy this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceIsDandy Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I share similar views I liked the pins overall (their designs/names etc), but did not enjoy the battling since the majority of the time it was just button mashing (for large parts of the game) however I did like the music having never played the original. The plat is pretty bad though I used an in depth walkthrough and even then I had to spend a good amount of the time in this game farming for drops i wasnt going to use. My biggest "letdown" was the story. I'd been aware of this game since it came out and despite (or maybe because of watching enough anime) this just seemed like a generic death game anime that could have come out in like 2007. Oh and get a turbo controller because good God some of the dialog goes on way too long to not have any kind of useful fast forward or even auto button most of the time.

ObsiEez Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Currently working on the platinum (nearly finished) & while I think the game is great, the platinum is such a pain in the ass & one of the most boring grindfests when it comes to getting the platinum. Especially with some of the drop rates being just utterly stupid low even with bringing yourself down to level 1 & equipping every single drop rate boosting item. Also, it is HEAVILY recommended to at least watch the anime & then the cutscenes for A New Day from the original game since if you don't, you'll be missing so much context for the later half of the game, especially the ending sections, not to mention it spoils the hell out of the original game if you do plan to play/watch it in the future.

You can hold R2 to fast forward through dialogue when replaying chapters. Still should have added a cutscene skip, but you don't really need to play through a majority of the days again either way since all the boss noises are usually right at the start, or the pig noise are pretty quick to get to, minus a few.

Dark_Overlord Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'd say no, the localisation is that bad. It's probably the worst localisation effort on PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermilion_Joker Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Grindy platinum, but overall a good story with fun mechanics. If you don't care to grind your day away and self-handicap to have better RNG, give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant just mashing through the dialog the first time haha, like I said I was disappointed with how basic the story was and how basic/uninteresting most/all of the characters were. That is probably due to the height of my anime consumption being around the time that death game amines "blew up" in popularity and like you said its going for the plat that REALLY kills the enjoyment even more so on a time limit im sure it would be more palatable if you had a year to do it vs a few weeks.

In terms of the speech bubbles, you can actually mash X faster than than the fast forward goes through them, but the cut in portraits speed up a lot when fast forwarding, so overall fast forwarding ends up being a bit faster. I personally enjoyed the story & characters, but I haven't really watched much death game type animes outside of a handful. The platinum does certainly kill a ton of enjoyment of the game though & I'm glad it's finally over for me lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remainpositive Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Chiming in, characters, music, and design are great, but wow does scramble week 2 and the grind to 100% makes this game lose absolutely all of its steam. Quite quickly does it become a "wow what comes next" to a "why am I still here and even doing this at all" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
