ohio why were you so cold

And two-stop layovers suck. On the other hand, at least that gave me more time to play The World Ends With You 8D. A couple of points:

1) Another Day is the best thing.

2) The brave/equip system is the second best.

3) I will acquire the entire black planet set. Though I can already tell that the 96U battle will be very, very painful D:.

4) Speaking of which, I managed to meet a Fifenfrog in probably my 7th battle looking for it instead of the potentially hundreds it seems to take most people 8D. Ganked its Black Mercury pin of course :3.

5) Adjustable difficulty? Adjustable levels/drop rates? Nothing being 100% missable? Being able to replay any chapter any time aka New Game++++++++++? A plot that actually justifies a band of teenagers saving the world Shibuya and writing that pokes fun at the standard JRPG emo protagonist model? Just about the only major criticism I can level is at the item organization system or the lack thereof, and even that's not too painful to work around. Another Day absolves it of any minor sins anyway, as well as Shiki's 3rd level Fusion and Shooter's Tin Pin Slammer 'Diagram' and Def March's goofiness and Pi-face (SO ZETTA SLOW) and the Crayon Warriors (seriously, Another Day) and god I love this game ♥.

TWO AT ONCE? Ok, that is terrifying XD Slightly disappointed that you have to beat the whole game first but sdkfs I suppose it's only fair, if you can take it back up from anywhere afterwards. :O And ooh, I love it when they let you just restart after dying; it's not like you're going to pay much attention to all those dialogs a second time... unless you're a hardcore fan, I suppose?

Have someone play it first. That is totally what I would do, ok XD Gah, this makes me want to invest a few salaries in a game console :( I haven't properly played a game in one in ages. The last Amazing game I played til the end was Monkey Island 4. On the computer kldfsf. I always feel like neither of those things are very impressive to Proper Gamers. XD

a;lskdjf that's what the AI is for but yes, it can really test your hand-eye-coordination if you want it to >_>. And yeah, it's a great feature. You can also speed through dialogue when replaying it if you want to, the developers pretty much thought of everything :D.

Funny you should mention that, since the DS actually has quite a few point-and-click adventure games similar to Monkey Island :D! Though not Monkey Island itself, alas. And don't worry, Proper Gamers have been whining about how the genre died out and IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T HAVE THESE NEWFANGLED CONSOLES etc since forever XD.
