The World Ends With You - Solo Remix (iPhone/iPad) announced [Out Now]

Because TWEWY has a really solid, though small, fanbase that simply loved the title when it was released on DS some years ago. Since Square Enix didn't do anything with the franchise for such a long time, people thought it would have been a stand-alone game, and that's it. But TWEWY characters in KH3D and Nomura's words (and later on, the countdown) raised all fans' expectations, who wanted to see a proper sequel on 3DS. Now, we have an iOS porting that looks terrible and downgraded with an insane price and no one really wants. That's why people hating it
I see, they hyped it up too much. Never trust those announcement to an announcement.
It looks good graphic wise though imo, they definitely put a lot more effort into it then a few graphic filters. It looks way too busy though.
Well, Kingdom Hearts got quite a few games after KH2, so it's not really the same thing.

Is this iPad retina or just retina on iPhone? Yes I'm a graphics whore when it comes to my iPad.
I think that has more to do with Nomura and Final Fantasy XIII Versus the End of Time than it does with the sales of previous KH titles.

It's just a damned shame that it doesn't run on iPod touch from what people are saying. I'd be all over this!
Different thing, the team was put to do Versus so the sales aren't the issue there.
Is it me or does anyone else feel really weird about TWEWY having a 'solo remix'? The whole point of the game is that you can't do anything solo.
I would propose that Chrono Trigger has a lot more to do with staff issues than sales as well.
People aren't mad with the port per se. They were just super hyped for a sequel announcement that never came. SE hyped too much and people raged over it.

Not even for Android or 3DS?
"SQUARE ENIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!"
Still interested in that Remix album though.

Nah, a few of us are getting it. I'm particularly curious to see how much they succeeded or failed gameplay-wise here. It's coming out in the US and other stores in some hours (it's up on the App Stores where it's monday already like Indonesia and New Zealand).
Complete change of the combat system which was the highlight of the original as well as a gameplay compliment to the overall theme of the game. People aren't also sure how the game will play on the touchscreen since the original really required precision of a stylus.
Plus the whole 'This is gonna be some super awesome TWEWY announcement' hype.
Honestly SE never hyped it. The only mention they made of the countdown was on their Japanese twitter account and nothing else, fans are to blame themselves for their own disappointment.
VERY good point. You're right, kinda forgot who has to get together to make a sequel to the game.

I know Chrono Trigger was the dream team, and modern day SQenix's dream team wouldn't be something I would want to have the "Chrono" name attached to it.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Everyone, everyone, remember the chart!
It will help with all future countdowns.
Here's a warning we can put up every time a Square Enix teaser comes up, save it for future references guys!
Also, I semi-updated the list too (added 4WoL and CT DS):
Horii will never do another CT, that's for sure.

It helps if you realize that a lot of people who are raging about this would also be raging if it were a sequel on anything other than the 3DS/Wii U. It looks great to me too, and I plan to double dip to support a franchise I enjoy.
I think Sakaguichi would be the more problematic of the two to get working on an SE game.
Did you just accuse me of being a Nintendo fanboy? I take it you're not familiar with my posting habits ...
Chrono Cross really isn't a sequel. It's a follow up, sure but sequel? Neh.

Looks pretty cool to me, honestly. Although I won't pay $18 for it since I have yet to finish the DS version.

Btw, any impression about this iOS version?
I'm really curious

Yeah that's pretty amazing. Takao, a Nintendo fanboy. I never thought I'd see the day.
You're really embarrassing yourself.
Well at least they got the message.

Probably going to get this, but man, I would kill for a version on my Nexus 7.
Gonna have to enjoy it on my tiny lame iPod screen instead.
Chances are an android port will come in a few months, following the recent SE iOS trends.
Not really. There's just some janky muddy filter over this version's graphics that makes it look ugly.

Did someone get a final capture of what the "Likes to Dislikes" ratio was?
Would be interested to see when the world really did end with SE's tolerance of red bars.

SE disabled the rating system on their Youtube video? How mean.

Definitely.
I mean, I appreciate all the details added to the updated artwork, but this version seems also to exhibit a soft/blurred look, typical of such HD remakes, that makes it a lot less interesting to my eyes.
I think it was less trolling and more shilling.
Not sure if "final" but I got this before it was disabled.
People are saying it's cheaper on DS, where exactly? I can't find it for less than $40. (That ships to Canada anyways)
So like what happened with CT when DS port sold only half million units in Japan.

It's a toss-up, considering what Horii has actually said about CT before. I love the man but his throughts about CT break my heart.
It's $20 on Amazon.Not sure if "final" but I got this before it was disabled.

I know you're joking, but I want to stress the fact that Chrono Trigger DS did really well in Japan, and in North America it went to sell as the SNES version.

Just an aside to the stupidity, but I genuinely disliked the dual screen aspect of the original. It was very distracting and I could never properly divide my attention between the two sections properly. Maybe I'm just stupid.
