Why are the Reapers so hot?!

I accidentally let the topic purge but I've been playing the shit outta this. I finished the week. Found out Shiki took on the appearance of her best friend. I am intensely curious what she actually looks like. Her friendship with Neku was sweet. I actually miss her now. Now I'm stuck with this Joshua prick. He might be ok.

Also that reaper boss was a pain in the ass. I wish this game had a block button. Took me at least 4 tries

I'm knee deep in the game now. Basically certain actions bring out your partner so you attack with them and Neku at the same time. I could summon Shiki by tapping the enemy. She would do her three hit combo while I did crazy stuff with Neku. It works fine enough. Joshua took me a sec to get used to.

The partners have HP but they can't seem to get hit so I dunno what's going on there

Lmao Daisukenojo Bito is his full name. I'm glad he's my buddy again. He's badass. So the game makes you think Joshua killed Neku, but it was that asshole reaper Sho. The guy's such a dick. I'm surprised he became a meme.

So yeah Joshua is dead too now after taking a hit for Neku. That sucks. Guess he was an ok guy after all. This feels like the endgame? Neku and Beat are the only people even in the Game now. The stakes are very high. They're fighting for everyone

I've been playing on the Remix OST.

It looks like this is for real for real endgame. Beat's fading. Sho is back from the dead and speaking nonsense about being as powerful as the Composer. Everyone in Shibuya is brainwashed. Even the two hot reapers who were kinda scummy but became friendly. It's kinda creepy how the NPCs don't move anymore.

I don't know if this is a common opinion, but Beat feels like the standout character in this game. Neku is cool and I like that he goes from edgy dude who was (maybe??) willing to kill a girl to escape the game to the guy who cares and understands others. Beat is just the bro though. He just wants to save his sister. It's tragic that she doesn't remember him and she basically died twice because of him. I want Beat to be happy

Lol yeah I've had the game for about a week and it's held my attention. I'm definitely gonna play Neo. I saw that Sho is a main character in it. That's nuts.

That's a good question. My stupid brain was thinking this was social media where everything must be vertical

I beat the big boobie reaper. Her fight was super annoying with the shadow gimmick. I had to watch a video on the last phase because I was clueless about what to do. Shiki is back aaand she got brainwashed. I fought the dude with headphones. Beat's knocked out. Just Neku. Really curious to see what the deal is with Mr. H

Spoilers for the ending and the background events
Joshua was the Composer. A week before the start of the game he started a side game with the Conductor (the dude with the shades and headphones you fight at the end), with Shibuya as the prize. Joshua viewed it negatively and believed it won't change and wanted to erase it, the Conductor wanted to prevent its erasure at any cost. Joshua killed Neku to use as his proxy, and Sho was there to try to kill Joshua believing him to be vulnerable in the Real Ground.
When Neku beat the Conductor, it was Joshua's win and he had the right to destroy Shibuya, but Joshua decided to make a final bet with Neku for it's fate. Whoever shot the other first would become the Composer. When Neku refuses to shoot and instead decides to "trust his partner", it changes Joshua's opinion. If even Neku could change, maybe Shibuya had potential after all. So he revives Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme and returns them to the Real Ground. Just to troll Neku one last time, he chooses the familiar crossing as the spot of Neku's revival. The main party is all alive in the Real Ground at the end.
At least in the original version. Final Mix has some additional content called A New Day (not the same thing as Another Day) that I guess leads into NEO.

they're not stuck in the UG, they're back in the RG. If you notice in the last cutscene, the people in the background are surrounding Neku

Ditto. Apparently they showed her face in an art book for the original game. I preferred the idea of her actually being possibly unattractive, but of course, they went ahead and made her cute anyway, which kind of makes her whole backstory regarding her appearance pointless.

Yeah, someone else said they're in the RG as well. Guess I didn't notice the people seeing them. That's sweet. All this Joshua stuff is nuts. I've been reading the Secret Reports and they are saying some wild shit. Alternate realities, ANGELS, other higher level beings, the path from Reaper to Angel, etc. Mr. H was the fallen angel all along and he helped Sho make the taboo noise. Even he didn't wanna see Shibuya erased. Joshua kinda sucks.

I did like that a Secret Report mentions that Joshua was busy in alternate reality playing tin pin all day while Week 3 was going on and Mr. H had to go get him. Kinda funny.


I started New Day just now. Everyone's weird. This reaper girl is weird and kinda doesn't match the artstyle of the game. I dont like her

So it was kinda obvious she was evil because she came out of nowhere and was super odd looking. Seeing Mr. H piss her off was fun. I thought Neku and Beat were in a parallel world but nope it was all one giant Noise setting up an illusion. Kinda cool.

New Day ends with Neku being shot AGAIN! By Josh or the reaper girl. Couldn't quite tell. She resurrected Sho with Taboo Noise sigils. This weirdo reaper gets so much love. Can't believe he was resurrected twice lol. So they're setting up Noise getting into the RG and erasing the real world with Shinjuku getting erased. Who is mystery girl and why does she have a Mr. Mew doll though?!

Glad I waited till NEO was out to play this.

I'm so glad the sequel doesn't involve a FUCKING touch screen.

Getting 6 pins and going crazy on the noise is fun in TWEWY, don't get me wrong. Dodging enemy attacks was tougher than it needed to be though. I sucked at it. When it came to the final boss, I just stood in one area and spammed while soaking damage. If I took too much damage I used a recovery pin. Dodging all those dragon heads was just impossible

tho tbh as much as I love NEO, I wasn't entirely satisfied with how some of the plot points carried over from AND were handled. All I'll say is that I agree with this comment "AND felt like setup to a TWEWY 2, but we got TWEWY 3 instead"

Yeah, mainly because DDD already had Sora become friends with Neku's gang and promise to visit him in Shibuya one day.

So when KH3's secret ending showed off locations in both Shibuya and Shinjuku, right before A New Day brought up Shinjuku as well, people def started to piece together what Nomura might be able to do with all this if he wants to connect it one day. Yozora just being an Alt Noctis and him obviously tying in Versus 13 concepts didn't help matters either, since everyone expects some big wacky Square Enix crossover thing.

I'm kinda interested in playing it again on the Switch and I hear the controls are not good, but I'll give it a go anyway if they're not /extremely/ bad because of how much I like the game.

Can't speak for TC, but for myself, the controls are only really bad playing in Docked mode. Basically it uses a pointer and motion controls to try and emulate the touchscreen controls, and its really slippery, imprecise, and unpleasant.

In handheld mode, however, theres functionally almost no difference between the switch version and the Solo remix on mobile. Playing it that way, there'd be absolutely no issues

Interesting you say that. I've heard a lotta good about NEO but I also heard the new characters kinda lose the spotlight to veteran characters after a while so their development isn't all there. It sounds like the game tries to balance the line between new game for newbies and sequel for old heads and maybe doesn't quite do enough for both

Also I bought NEO...

tbh I really liked the new characters, since the old characters don't intrude much until near the end (and even then it's the new ones that are at the forefront). I say NEO is an amazing game and a great sequel to OG, it's just the AND stuff that I feel didn't land too well. I'm hoping we get some Torna-like DLC down the line
