(Spoilers for The
World Ends With You)
In the New Year,
people are wondering what kinds of fresh, interesting games will be
released. Therefore, the absolute best way for me to start 2016 is to
completely disregard the desire to do new things. Instead, I went
back to 2007 to play a game that I missed out on: The World Ends
With You (TWEWY). Back when this game first came out, I made the
decision to get a PSP instead of a Nintendo DS. That meant that up
until I purchased a 3DS, I wasn't able to give it a chance.
Aside from the fact
that it was a highly acclaimed RPG on the DS, I honestly didn't know
too much about TWEWY going in. I'm glad that I didn't, because it
gave me a chance to get to know the cast of characters on my own
terms. Of particular note is the protagonist of TWEWY: Neku Sakuraba.
Though not a particularly unique character on his own right, Neku
serves as a great example of someone with a fully fleshed out
character arc.
