Topic: not a TWEWY sequel ;____;

Uh.

Sort of ironically since this is coming to IOS I may pick this up. I've been meaning to get it on DS for a while now, but never cared enough. If an equal quality version is coming out for a lower asking price I think I'll buy it later on.

@Retro_on_theGo
Not really. Since it's the same game, I don't see why they should tease their fanbase with a countdown clock. They should just announce it instead of letting us get our hopes up. I get that people know about this new release because of the countdown clock, but we would have known about this anyway if Square Enix just announced the thing.
@zezhyrule
Announcements of this sort infer that something "new" is going to be revealed. Since this is the internet, a port of a game is not going to be considered "new". It's a port, not a new game. It's rational for fans to think that way.
Whether or not you'd prefer a new MGS game in my hypothetical situation is irrelevant. People who are getting hyped over a countdown would be expecting a new MGS game, probably the 5th numbered title. To announce a port of a game that nearly all of the people getting excited for this already have would be like a slap in the face.

Just to further reiterate: I'm not mad that TWEWY is coming to iOS; I'm mad that there was a week long countdown timer for a port. If this was announced instead of hyped, then I'd be happy that new people would be able to play this game.

Moral of the Story: moomoo would rather have been disappointed seven days ago instead of waiting until now to be disappointed.

can we move on now? i'm kinda interested in how having two characters on the same screen will work, e.g. do we have to dodge with shiki/beat/joshua too, or just neku? is there any video of this port up yet?

I wasn't making an analogue to this situation when I mentioned not wanting a MGS sequel. I just said that because someone mentioned new MGS sequel and I had to respond

@dragon: I posted a video on the previous page, actually

I agree with moomoo on the evil teaser site thing minus all the fanboy rage though. Was very dissapoint, should nae have gotten my hopes up for a sequel though. ;____;

The backlash on that Youtube trailer was pretty harsh, fans are undoubtedly annoyed about this.

Likes/Dislikes climbed to 280/2,779 before they disabled them.

I sure wish I didint know about this, im so disapointedx(. Time to go on and never come back. Nothing we can do..

Ok, I am looking at this quote and can't even fathom someone could say this. I understand everyone has their own opinion but really? That is one of the main things that made this game good. It took a while to get used to it, I had to put auto play for a while. After you can do it all manually though it's literally amazing. Anyone I believe can do it if they take the time to get through the game. This iOS port is dumb for two reasons. First, we were expecting a sequel. Second, the thing only has one dang screen so it messes up one of the best parts of TWEWY. People who really liked TWEWY liked that. I just can't even fathom why SE would do this. It's just seems dumb to hype up a dang port. This is just, UGHHHHHHHH!!

@Trainer_DJ You forgot to mention that the dual screen mechanics were a major plot point that emphasized the theme of trust.
The reason the partners were separated was because they fought in slightly separate, overlapping dimensions. A player would have to trust that the other player would be okay on his or her end, thus showcasing a theme without saying it, as well as showing character development in Neku in his deeper sense of trust through his partner getting new abilities.

On top of that, you can only summon your partner once in a while when using a pin. Seriously? If they were both fighting at the same time without this summoning it would've been a little bit better.

Well, the gameplay in this version of the game looks pretty nerfed.
Just so everyone knows, you can get TWEWY for the same price as the iOS version on the DS at Square Enix's online store.
$20. http://store.na.square-enix.com/store/sqenixus/en_US/pd/produ...
So unless if you don't have a DS, or live outside of America, then there doesn't seem to be much of a contest here.

Hey guys, remember how the game had actual creative and interesting use of the DS? We don't need that!

I also question if this game is too unknown to make this worthwhile for SE. Like, TWEWY was never some huge hit that anyone outside of hardcore RPG gamers know even exists. The only people who have been hyped about this game are people who ALREADY OWN IT. No one else cares.

I mean what next, are people gonna try to make Little King's Story a hit on a brand new handheld system-oh wait

@kkslider5552000 At least Little King's Story 2 is coming to a system that has a bunch of people that desparately want to play games on it. Also, it's not a port.
This is a port. An inferior one, at that; and Square Enix put a freaking countdown timer to hype fans up.
Seriously, Square Enix is the best troll ever.

Yeah why hype a game for its fans only to be a port of a 5 year old game, at least with FFIII and Crono trigger they were 15+ years so those were actually a big deal for iOS

They clearly aren't desperate enough to buy Gravity Rush so I have as much faith in Vita fans as I do Wii fans (ie none).

Yeah, I don't get that either. Why didn't more people with Vita's buy Gravity Rush? Seriously, I'd expect there to be a pretty tight ratio of system to game there, almost as much as Halo: Combat Evolved and the original XBOX.

i like how you expect me to pay attention to anything you post :3
_{well, that and from your comment about it i thought it was gonna be some lame fan-reaction to the announcement that it was iDevice only lol}

So it's really just that port hm?
I never got why there was so much hatred against Square, I rarely paid attention to what they did and I never played any Final Fantasy game safe for Tactics, but this... well I begin to understand now...
