EDITED AGAIN. THIS SHIT IS BIG.  LIKE REALLY BIG. NOT JUST ME BEING LIKE "OH LOOK, SOMETHING INTERESTING." LIKE REALLY.  SEE BOTTOM.

Rain here! As I have been bad and missed my scheduled discussion dates due to the start of college last week, I have decided to make up for it with a new discussion!  Of course, I COULD wait until my assigned Wednesday in two days, but that wouldn't be as fun.  Plus that's when classes start.  And more people would have found this by then so it wouldn't be AS cool to some of you.

The timer started at 7 days.... And for those of you who don't know Subaseka is the abbreviation for Subarashiki Kono Sekai (lit. It's a Wonderful World), the Japanese title for The World Ends With You.

I feel like this speaks for itself.  Thank you ~KimYoshiko for posting this on your journal even though you too found it from someone else.  I usually don't troll for this kind of news until after a game show (I mean, Tokyo Game Show is coming up, maybe they'll announce more then?)

Now, I'm not saying that this is definitely hinting and what we hope, it could really be anything Subarashiki related, but I mean what else WOULD it be?

*EDIT* Okay, is it just me, or does it look different today?  I think it got clearer and we can see more... If you, like I, left your window open because you don't want to miss the end of the countdown, refresh the page, but look very carefully.

*EDIT 2* Upon closer inspection, who else noticed that the timer isn't really acting like a timer at all... Sure, it's counting down the last (at this point) 5 days, but if you watch the "seconds" area, it definitely is behaving with a strange sort of pattern....  I'm looking at the source code, but seeing as I haven't yet LEARNED any programming, this only helps so much.  Feel free to take a look if you HAVE experience, let us know what it all means.  As an amateur looking at it, I noticed a couple of things: 1) There is an entire code source devoted to the "ticker", which goes to show that I am right in that it is not a normal timer, although it looks like your every day, standard, TWEWY hand timer, 2) the hours, minutes, and seconds all have two different codes affecting how they count, and 3) the numbers 24, 60, 60, and 1000 show up a lot in that order, indicating the hours in a day, minutes in an hour, and seconds in a minute.  What does that mean the 1000 is?  You'd have to tell me... I haven't figured it out yet, but if what I learned in elementary school is right, that is no ordinary timer.  There's something special about it...

*EDIT 3* You know, the more I look at this, the more I notice about it.  Anyone else find it strange that even though this is the JAPANESE WEBSITE all the timers correspond to YOUR TIME ZONE?  Does this mean that people closer to Japan's time zone will know sooner?  Are they ACTUALLY being really strict about the DAY that people find out what this is all about?  I can't be sure, but there sure as hell is a reason for it, so don't forget to keep googling stuff about this before your timer ends, someone else may already be able to see it.

*EDIT 4* HA!  The picture IS changing!  For those of you who couldn't figure it out yesterday, it's gotten to the point of obviousness today that we are looking at the Shibuya skyline, made obvious by TWEWY's token use of the "104 Building" as a main point of reference in the game.  Yup, music definitely changed too, today it's "Calling", a mixture between the original version and the remade Kingdom Hearts 3D version by the sound of it, plus a little extra stuff.  I LOVE IT!!!!!

DISCUSS! Or questions are fine too I guess.


Well, the internet is at risk of explosion due to the most recent TWEWY news.  A leak in the network of the Japanese Square Enix store revealed to more observant shoppers that along with a new The World Ends With You soundtrack going on sale, it is also referenced an iOS version of the game coming out later this year in its description.  Way to go guys, you are soooo smart.  Now, I suppose this can't be all bad, I mean I suppose that TWEWY would port rather w--OH WAIT IT WOULDN'T. WHAT ABOUT THE TOP SCREEN GUYS, HUH? HUH?! USE YOU'RE DAMN HEADS PEOPLE, WE DON'T WANT THIS.  Now, I was originally optimistic involving the news of the platform shipping for the original game, figuring that maybe that wasn't the big surprise.  But with the news of the soundtrack, my self justification kind of falls through, as I was counting on the new music as being proof for something new and refreshing in our beloved version of Shibuya.

But, DON'T GIVE UP HOPE:! While I'm just as, if not more, disappointed as the rest of you due to this "revelation", I still believe that maybe it is only a precursor for something still to come.  I mean, would the porting of the game REALLY be worthy of the countdown?  Or a completely new, awesome soundtrack?  I believe no.  Maybe they meant to do the slip.  They know how the internet finds these things, making them viral news that even if only 10 people in the world saw it, in a few hours everyone who cares would know.  Just like how I'm telling you.  Maybe this is top get hype back up for a game that has been out of the picture for 4 years.  Maybe when TWEWY turns 5, we'll see ourselves faced with an actually new The World Ends With You, but they want to remind people just how much we love and miss our pin using friends.  Either way, I'm still eagerly awaiting to see what this countdown will bring us, because I believe in the long run it can only mean good things for TWEWY and its fans.  Who knows, maybe the Tokyo Game Show will tell us something that the timer won't.

What would really piss me off is if the this wasn't a porting and a new game for iOS.  Slap in the face.

Expect to hear from me in two days, I'm blowing this shit out of the water the moment that timer hits "mission end".  This reaper is waiting for her next assignment.  Rain out.

Final Fantasy XIII-2's big Lightning VS Caius download content scenario was announced weeks ago, but Square Enix still hasn't said when we'll be getting it. The wait may finally be coming to an end, though.

Dengeki PlayStation reveals this week that the DLC will be released some time in May. It will follow Snow's DLC, which is due on May 15.

As previously detailed, the Lightning DLC is titled Requiem of the Goddess. The scenario will show Lightning and Caius in a different form of battle from what we saw in the main game.

Clear the Lightning episode, and you'll be able to make Armored Lightning into a party member. Lightning will have an exclusive role and abilities. Her "Scene Drive" ability will be "Scene Drive Kai" ("Scene Drive Reformed").

It looks like Square Enix has a whole lot planned for May. In addition to the Requiem of the Goddess DLC, we can also look forward to White Mage Serah and Black Mage Noel costumes. We'll also be getting 16 Moogle costumes.

All this comes after the Snow and Valfodr DLC.

It's time for this weeks.... Random Discussion Wednesday!!! I'm your host Rain, here to discuss the newest developments in the beloved soon-to-be series of The World Ends With You!

For those of you confused by more then my talk show attitude from the above statement, direct your attention to link: [link]

Anyone who bought the new TWEWY re-release for iOS and completed the game has already seen this post-secret ending ending.  Yeah, that's a mouthful.  I waited this long only out of courtesy, not everyone is as crazy as me for completing games (if you recall my 3-4 day completion of KH 3D) so I figured this was a decent amount of time to wait.  Not to mention it isn't like it gives away any of the plot, it merely confirms that which we were all hoping for: a new TWEWY and a new 7 days.

Nothing else is known so far about this other then what is shown in the picture and what has been hinted at as far as a new TWEWY game, so everything to be discussed here is pure speculation.

I'll start: We got us a pretty typical schoolgirl, red being her apparent accent colour, and ambiguous enough features to not hint too much at who she may be (or be related to, if you know what I'm sayin').   Notable mentions are the skull on the 104 building, so it's OBVIOUSLY still the Reapers Game in Shibuya, not to mention the 'phones and a very familiar looking cat.  You know what I'm getting at by this point, doncha?  Yep, my theory is that this is Neku's and Shiki's daughter.  Of course, that is pure speculation, but it is also the only reasonable thing that I can come up with considering the facts: Neku cannot play in the game again, but that doesn't mean that his family isn't fair game, and why on earth would anyone else have both the signature TWEWY style headphones and Mr. Mew?  Just my opinion.

What do you think this new game could mean?  What do you think this new character might offer?
