Why do we hate nomura again?

A single autist named Barry hates him because everyone said FF Versus xiii looked better than his darling hyperfixation ffxv

there's better girls if you aren't a basic bitch

Why do we hate nomura again?

What's the use of a Nomura artstyle with nerfed tummies. Stop covering the damn navel you prudes

We don't. Shi/v/uya Saturdays were the best threads this board had in the past decade.

NEO TWEWY was a disappointment and I'm tired of pretending otherwise

Nah it was great. Not as good as the first game, but GOTY 2021. Oh god it's almost half a decade old.

Because his writing is juvenile idiotic trash, he's an autistic subhuman whos understanding of social interaction is below us (thus he's not fit to write characters) and he hasn't done anything good in over a decade.

This.

yeah the story was a meandering mess
while the combat had a strong base, it got too repetitive with the endless combat it kept throwing at you
the music tracks had too many remixes, and some of the new ones were just meshes of samples which while not bad, weren't what i was hoping for
still, glad it exists and wasn't a disaster, but i can't see myself replaying it much

I was only disappointed in how Neku and Coco were handled.

I've come around on Neku. I like how Rindo put him on a larger and larger pedestal as a mythical figure and then he's just a dude. A strong dude, a dude with friends in high places and a good knowledge of the UG, but a dude. Rindo not only learns not to abdicate solely to Neku but actively disobeys his advice to get another shot at saving his friends. Yeah, the result is that Neku is a bit flat but homeboy already had entire game to himself.

he insists upon himself, multiple times even

i think it would have been better as some kind of spinoff tbdesu twewy itself was fairly conclusive and worked well as a self-contained story - even as far back as a new day it felt like things were getting overcomplicated just for the sake of it
not a bad game by any means i just think it probably didn't really need to be a sequel

Without the multiple pins, two screen management and variety that came from the touch screen precision the combat is just a generic button masher with nothign in common with TWEWY.
With Neku it felt like you were playing as a strong character with your own custom moveset. In 2 he's reduced to a single button in the most shallow yet crowded RPG party ever.

I think you mean above us, way above. e doesnt give a fuck about your retarded social dogmas. he cares about making pure kino. literally all of his games are great. you're just another clueless hater with shit taste.

How the fuck is 4+ hours of characters autisticly anime grunting at each other and making awkward unnatural pauses in their clunky stilted ass dialogue "kino"?
how the fuck is being a huge faggot, ruining all your villains by making them say blatantly homosexual shit 24/7, "kino"
the guy took very human likable characters and made them flanderised anime trope mongoloids that you just want to see die.
How is tacking childish time travel multiverse bullshit on to everything, especially already bloated stories that were never made to support it, "kino"

why is "kino' the buzzword brainrotted retards use to out themselves for having no shit taste?

Who said we hated him?

nah game was great. i like it more than the original twewy

Kino.

He should just stick to drawing

He's a great character designer, mixed director, and terrible story crafter. Problem is they keep putting him in charge of stories

Because he admitted not knowing the story of his own convoluted games

It should have either been a new story or a continuation of the original, pussyfooting between the two ruined it.

I don't know why people think Nomura is the lead writer of everything that has his art in it. In the game's credits, it is stated that Akiko Ishibashi is the writer of TWEWY 1 and 2. I guess people just need a person to attack, even if that person isn't a writer at all.

oh jeez. you're another one of those fucking retarded bugs who talks about "anime grunts". you fucking faggots are so annoying. every fucking anime in existence and anime game in existence has the "nod" with a "hm". thats not a fucking "grunt". im replaying KH3 right now and there is literally nothing even remotely close to what youre blabbering about. Ironically, riku is the one in this game that kinda talks like a retard and thats about it. pretty huge oversight on your part. time travel allows for more stupid fun shit to happen. its a video game, and only the good video games out there go all out with their stories.

he's a garbage director.
lots of content in KH3 made it to full production then was scrapped.

in FF7R, 2 entire builds of the game were made with years of work before he sabotaged squares relationship with CC2 because of his incompetent direction, absence of communication or responsibility and unprofessional behavior.. They took everything with them and cut ties with square so Nomura had to rush out this low quality dog shit at the last minute.

FF7R assets.png - 1279x1352, 2.3M

It was as good as the original. A worthy fucking sequel.

every fucking anime in existence and anime game in existence has the "nod" with a "hm"

Only the worst shonen garbage in existence has shit this bad. these faggot characters walk 2 steps and weeze like they're clinically obese.
they literally grunt at each other instead of talking.
Only nomuras work has this level of autism.
youtube.com/watch?v=kpEd2yK8KzQ

Also 99% of anime does not have good dialogue, so using it as an excuse when most video games don't have this trash and the original FF7 script didn't have inane anime noises written into it, is nonsense cope.

well it's anime. most of those make sense when they are doing an action. would you rather them be silent and it being awkward? its just confirms, sighs, actual grunts from doing an action, surprise, etc. of course one of you bugs had to make a compilation of it because it can be funny out of context. now condense it all completely and it would be a lot shorter. the dialogue in that game stretches 5-6 hours long. it is still a very good game despite this hateboner for this specific anime trope you faggots like to squeal about for some reason.

T-THE ORGINAL FF7 WASN'T ANIME!!!!!

You're too retarded to exist. Consider suicide.

nothing in common with original TWEWY

I love it when retards like you make it clear that you have no idea what you’re talking about in regards to OG TWEWY because a lot of NEO’s gameplay design is lifted strictly from the original and expanded on in the new 3D engine. Both games are at their core unique takes on action combat that places an emphasis on keeping up a steady rhythm between party members, with the Puck and Beatdrop systems being analogous to one another in this way, not to mention the enemy design as well. Jellyfish clones? In the original. Rhinos taking less/no damage when attacked from the front? Also in the original. Sharks diving below? Yeah, see where I’m going with this? Both games have thoughtfully realized combat design; OG TWEWY gives you plenty of pin variety and unique enemy designs to try out copious amounts of viable strategies; meanwhile, NEO provides multitudes of pin interactions that create hit state and positional advantages not possible in the OG. Each game plays well to their strengths and I appreciate both for that.

generic button masher

What game PLAYS like NEO? Be for real.

It’s funny because NEO arguably has more depth in its combat than the original TWEWY yet morons like you lambast it for not using touch controls.

most of those make sense when they are doing an action

No they don't. they aren't needed. there's even a mod that removes 90% of them and turns the volume to 0.1% on the rest and its already a drastic improvement.

would you rather them be silent and it being awkward?

I'd rather the dialogue have proper pacing that moves way faster so it's natural.
but yes people don't go 'HUHHH!!?' Whenever someone walks through a fucking door or makes a sandwhich or does the most mundane shit not requiring a reaction.

the dialogue in that game stretches 5-6 hours long

1.45 hours of which are anime grunts and most of the rest is long awkward pauses to pad out the cut scenes as long as possible.

shallow yet crowded

What the fuck does this even mean in regards to NEO?

generic button masher with nothign in common with TWEWY

has a lot of the same mechanics as OG TWEWY

has a lot of the same enemy design from OG TWEWY

even has pins like OG TWEWY

nothing in common

There are a lot of characters but their abilities in battle are about 5% of the variety of a typical party member so they only really clutter the screen with an insufficient payoff. They also are not very unique from each other.

Why do OG TWEWY stans love making shit up about NEO to prop up the original more than it?

To my recollection, it happens often. I recall that Nomura wasn't the one who talked parasite eve 3, and that it was some other guy who actually wrote it while he just directed the cutscenes or something (he did a good job if it was directing the cutscenes, he has a strong sense of cinema), its just that he is easy to hate for making weird character designs later in his career, and for his pet project, kingdom hearts, being convoluted so when something kingdom hearts-esque happens in something like PE3 or FF7R, people blame him. I also seem to remember he wanted to do a straight FF7 remake and had to add the time nannies because of some suit.

His bosses probably seem to think his stuff sells like hotcakes and want him to make everything kingdom hearts, even when he doesn't want to or knows it would be bad for the product.

stop posting you sperg.

jewish game about children eating ice cream until they wear women's clothing and it turns out they killed themselves

too predictable why not just make a discord server if you want to groom

5% of a typical party member

Except the way NEO handles its pins virtually makes this a non-issue. You can do more creative and interesting things in NEO with one pin compared to another action RPG like Tales of Arise, which came out in the same year.

Because the first game came out when they peaked in high school and nothing can compare.

insult a post for no reason

Take your meds

It’s always the same thing too.

"NEO is shallow in its combat"

doesn’t actually explain what makes it shallow

"pins are all the same!"

OG TWEWY is way worse in this regard

"enemies are too tanky!"

they don’t use Mashups

I mean come on, if you’re going to bitch about the game, at least actually try to say shit that isn’t easily disproven.

Finding all the different ways you can combo's pins together in NEO is so much fun.

Thought the max party size was going to be 4

Then it became 5

Then 6

I like how the minute you get access to Sho’s kick pin, you can straight up use other enemies as projectiles. Reminds me of God Hand.

i have no clue, i love both games and i know for a fact a good chunk of Anon Babble likes it too, it's just to ruin the thread i imagine.

If you thought the CyberConnect proto-looked good or played good, you're out of your goddamn mind.

he thinks modern Anon Babble actually plays video games

For what it's worth, people say the same things about the OG game. I've introduced that game to friends and while they loved the story, they didn't get the combat at all and just set it to easy to rush through for the plot.

>"NEO is shallow in its combat"

>doesn’t actually explain what makes it shallow

This one is always baffling to me because compare to some of the modern action games coming out today, NEO is honestly pretty damn comparable to the action games we had on the PS2 when it comes to combat design

grabs

collisions

parries are useful not overpowering to the point of overshadowing other options

wallsplats

status effects are useful across the board as well

OTGs

there are distinct benefits to ground vs air combos

enemies can actually break out of combos

it looked better than this trash.

That sounds lame. Both games have pretty sick combat.

while they loved the story, they didn't get the combat at all and just set it to easy to rush through for the plot.

It was a cutscene simulator, the only fucking parts we see were the damn Reactor and the section after Cloud separates from the rest of AVALANCHE.

This, has no soul unlike the original

His art is monotonous. Not sure what your pic has to do with that though, since twewy character designs are by Gen Kobayashi.

nomura

twewy

Once you get to know them for sure. It doesn't handhold you into learning the game much. It's symbolic, as the 2 screen combat is supposed to seem obtuse at first as it reflects Neku's inability to relate to other people. Some people just aren't willing to learn something new. IMO people are spoiled and if gameplay isn't super easy to learn immediately it gets written off as a QoL issue rather than a skill issue.

It was a cutscene simulator

Ironic to say when talking about a walking sim like FF7R

We never saw proper gameplay, and it was a particle effect festival regardless. You're jerking off to a game that have even less revealed about it than Versus because of the collaboration with CC.

CyberConnect2 was working on FF7R

Never knew that

I genuinely liked it more than the original, particularly for character interactions and development.

Soundtrack so great a theme can be used both for overworld and a boss and it works perfectly for both.

Can any other game claim this?

Anon, you are aware that TWEWY is a collaborative effort, right? Hell, it isn’t even just Kobayashi and Nomura.

Yamashita gave us the best Coco design

Bless her

coco gun.jpg - 1148x1582, 628.42K

it got too repetitive with the endless combat it kept throwing at you

Literally change up your pins. You might as well complain about this in regard to the original as well.

Ackshully, Sachie Hirano wrote the story for the first game. Ishibashi actually wrote for NEO. Funnily enough, they actually got Ishibashi for KH4.

We?
Who's we?

confused cat.jpg - 716x627, 41.54K

missing the point.

Everything that happened with the project was Nomuras responsibility. He was the director.
How is it good for a project to lose years of development on nothing because Nomura shit the bed and ruined the companies relationship with CC2.
instead of being able to touch up existing assets he had to hire poojeets to shit out the lowest quality asset farm assets ever made, at the last minute because he can't manage a project.

Why was he as project manager not overseeing it properly? Why did he throw a childish fit because it wasn't cringey and anime enough for him?
he's the fucking director, he shouldn't have been asleep at the wheel. and then he fired everyone, all the OG VAs and what he rushed out was cringe low quality visuals with cringe low quality acting & dialogue.

Nomura didn't write that, Nojima did.

3rd Birthday was Tabata. Nomura just did character design and art direction.

Nomura was the director as well as the scenario director.
he had final say on everything.

the repetitive enemies were the problem.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Honestly never felt that way with how distinctive the enemy design was. Even variants had different things about then make them meaningfully distinctive, especially when paired up with other enemies.

Just wish it had more enemy variety also if any of you guys hated scramble slam fuck you

The funny thing is, Neku never does a complete about-face to a "touchy-feely hippy baby". He's still a snarky bastard, he now just does it as playful banter rather than snide remarks. It's actually one of the few characterization issues I have with NEO is that he is just kinda UG Jesus despite how well the first game avoided that. I get the guy probably changed during his time in Shinjuku with Coco, but damn.

i think he's a hack, and fake women doesn't change that lmao

Honestly, when you look at his dialogue with Joshua, he’s still pretty snarky. He’s probably just putting on a face for the other youngins

Yeah, it’s actually hinted at in the game that Neku is just putting on a brave face for the others.

Neku: I get it: you’re nervous about the big fight. So am I.

Fret: You sure don’t look nervous.

Neku: Just good at hiding it.

There’s also that part where he tells a little white lie to the team about how he doesn’t know who sent him to Shinjuku but as we find out later on, he is very much fully aware that it was Joshua.

I think it’s a pretty interesting characterization choice because Rindo initially puts Neku up on this pedestal of being this legendary, untouchable badass when he’s really just a guy with his own fears and doubts. He just puts on an act, which in turn gets Rindo to initially overly rely on him like he did with Sho and Beat until he stops and actually learns his lesson in that regard.

ruined the companies relationship

Unless you were there, you have no fucking idea what even CC2 had done, because outside of the teaser trailer NOTHING was fucking released, they could have gotten NOTHING done and it all could have run or looked like shit. Not gonna lie, the fact that you're trying to defend CyberConnect tells me you're a jackass in love with their flashy but runs like shit gameplay loop from the Naruto games or even Asura's Wrath, and I love Asura's Wrath for the story beats and pomp. But the gameplay is trash.

childish

Literally just your headcannon on how things went down, I will never understand fucknuts like yourself who's only interest is blaming a sole person for something the company he works for foisted on him.

I think you're forgetting how much of Neku's snark was never vocalized. He spent a lot of time biting his tongue and is probably going "holy shit if these children would just shut the hell up and let me think I'd've fixed this shit a week ago" and "should've kept my fucking headphones" the entire time

In week 2 for sure. He keeps how much he hates Josh in his head because he has more important things to do. In week 1 he's very vocal about telling Shiki to fuck off, and in week 3 we get lines like him suggesting to Beat to save Team Rocket from the taboo noise solely because they'd hate it.

Oh I meant more in the context of NEO

Oh well then I at least kind of agree. Even if it's a face he's putting on for the kids, it's kinda lame for Neku to not act like Neku during the short time we have with him.

we get lines like him suggesting to Beat to save Team Rocket from the taboo noise solely because they'd hate it.

Ackshully, he did that with Joshua.

neku's torso width is like 5cm

Unless you were there, you have no fucking idea what even CC2 had done

They didn't do anything wrong. In an interview square staff said Nomura had been completely fucking absent in his role as director. He saw the trailer and complained that is wasn't anime enough.
(but it's literally his fault if the project isn't to his liking because he hasn't been doing his fucking job) objectively unprofessional manchild behavior. He single highhandedly ruined the partnership with CC2 and all that dev time was completely wasted. No competent director would allow years of work to go down the drain like that and have to use shitty poojeet assets.
you don't end up with a product as low quality as FF7R unless the director is a retard.

the fact that you're trying to defend CyberConnect

They weren't directing the project nomura was. anything that happens is his fault.

Also Asuras wrath has a dodge that actually functions and air combos that aren't dogshit so it's already better than FF7R.

Everyone in TWEWY is a fashion guru

Always thought that was funny. It's like the city runs on fashion, and all the guys are dressed like faggots. The girls are hot though.

It's like the city runs on fashion

all the guys are dressed like faggots.

so like. fairly accurate then

I have never seen any guy dress like the guys in TWEWY, maybe it's only in certain metropolitan cities. I mean, maybe if you go to NYC or LA.

Give me the interview, also Nomura was never told he was directing the game UNTIL the trailer dropped, have you forgotten that shit? Fucking Kitase was supposed to direct the damn remake, but he pussied out and dumped it on Nomura without him knowing it.

tbf it's more directly inspired by fashion trends in shibuya than like america and that type of shit is a bit more common there than like la

For some unholy reason high waisted pants have been in style for a while now. They look so fucking stupid. (Not sure about in Japan, might have been a coincidence)

You mean like Elden Ring? So many companies outsource generic character models and buildings and shit, I'm amazed you never noticed that there were hundreds of assets in Elden Ring made by an Indian 3D art studio, especially any game that has to jumped to using Unreal as a base. Just admit you have a goddamn obsession with hating Nomura and pretending Remake wasn't going to be a clusterfuck in development.

i didn't know I was directing the game for multiple years.

yeah I just didn't know lol

He's so full of shit. blaming his incompetence on other people. you don't just "not know" that your directing an entire project for years. that cunt should have been fired.

Elden ring is trash but it's not as unacceptably low quality and badly made as this shit.

nah

He's so full of shit.

Pretty sure Kitase admits that it's true in that case. You literally are a sperg just for Nomura, fucking christ.

So for 2+ years, not a single person at square asked for an update on this project from the director?
not a single person asked where the director is, in any of the days of work?
not a single writer or designer consulted him?

If it was really Kitases fault then he should be fired.
lets say that Nomura literally didn't know, which is impossible but..
Years of work and millions of dollars were wasted because Nomura sabotaged things with CC2. It's also because of him that all the voice cast was changed.
What he did there was his fault. He had to start from scratch and what he made was a low quality pile of shit that is 1000x worse than anything that could have been made if he was professional and touched up the existing game with CC2.

scared man.jpg - 3840x2160, 577.97K

Wish I could pull off the K’ fit on the left desu.

Yeah the CEO was so fucking excited that he said something like we are working on big effing game just you see.

Then Square didn't like the way they developed it, kinda like how Capcom saw RE4 remake by M2, and it took it internal.

The target render gameplay from Dec 2015 was actually made by Square, there was a dev on linkedin who listed working on it since Nov 2014. Maybe CC2 couldn't reach that level?

I got bored after week 1 cause it was all talking talking talking, with very little being said that moves the plot forward or in an interesting way, like bruh you are in death game, stop acting nonchalant, and the stakes aren't high enough. Also, the laughing sound from the phone is ass, and pretty much all the overworld music kinda loops to the point it gives you migraines.

Neku and Beat were chads unlike the covid mask boy and his zoomer friend.

Because KH4 was revealed three years ago and we haven't seen any more gameplay.

it was all talking, talking, talking

You’re in charge of the buttons you pressed. You can literally chain battles at anytime.

like bruh you are in death game, stop acting nonchalant, and the stakes aren't high enough.

Unlike OG TWEWY, Rindo and Fret didn’t see people get erased in the very beginning of the Game like Neku did at the start of Day 1. Not to mention that the rules of the new Game make it so that Players don’t get erased until the end of the week. Which then makes the twist hit harder for the Twisters since they haven’t yet realized how rigged the Game actually is and you slowly start to see that the other Player teams have been at this for a LONG while, to the point that they’ve more or less given up hope.

speedreading

Neku is a bitch who couldn’t bring himself to shoot the twink that emotionally manipulated and screwed him over. Rindo actually changes fate and punches the literal manifestation of his flaws in the face.

Neku

chad

lol
lmao

Doesn't need people to validate him

Strangles Shiki ready to kill her at a moments notice.

yep he's based.
meanwhile vaxtard covid kid is a little bitch who whines all the time about his faggy emotions.

Doesn't need people to validate him

He literally gets offended when people point out his shit fashion sense

strangles Shiki, ready to kill her at a moment’s notice

You do realize that he could’ve gotten himself killed since he was being an idiot by not trusting his partner and instead trusting the obviously evil Reaper lady who tried to kill him and Shiki twice two days in a row. Not to mention how he actually hesitates and only reluctantly goes through it when Uzuki pulls some shit out of her ass about Shiki being a spy so that he can justify to himself killing Shiki.

meanwhile vaxtard covid kid is a little bitch who whines all the time about his faggy emotions

Saying this when Neku bitches and moans in the first week all of the time in his head is so funny to me. This is literally how he starts off the game, even.

edge.jpg - 500x313, 35.63K

complaining about Rindo whining while propping up Neku

The irony.

Which is crazy because Barry ended up winning

obviously evil Reaper lady who tried to kill him and Shiki twice two days in a row.

Wait, when did Uzuki first try to kill them?

Persona at home

You mean Persona if it actually had good gameplay and didn’t waste my fucking time.

This. And the retard zoomer/millenial jokes are so bad it makes Persona look like an M game

persona x twewy when

inb4 it's idol slop just like smt x fe

Week 1 Day 1 by the 104 building. Neku even recognizes her as the same Reaper who sent Noise after them when they meet again the day after at Hachiko.

Also the part that people seem to always leave out is that Uzuki said she'd kill Neku if he didn't kill Shiki, not sure how people miss that crucial detail

makes Persona look like an M game

Anon, I…

makes Persona look like an M game

Who wants to tell him?

That can't be right. TWEWY actually has gameplay and interesting characters

playing rpgs for the gameplay

l m a o

What part do you think the G in RPG stands for?

Neku complains about the retards around him being annoying.
He complains in a masculine Jaded and detached way.
Rindo whines like a sensitive little girlie bitch about his homosexual couples therapy with the broccoli haired faggot..

sales and steam reviews say otherwise
cope

Based retard.

based tumblrina chaser

Appeal to popularity

Then I guess CoD is best series of all time

Neku complains about the retards around him being annoying

Yet he would’ve died like an idiot if it weren’t for said retards saving his ass multiple times.

still insisting that it's still what people play rpgs for

l m a o

Holy cope lmao

Contrived circumstances of the game are not relevant to his based demeanor and personality.

Saying this about TWEWY, which has always had interesting action RPG combat, is so fucking funny to me. Like, do you think the people comparing pin decks and posting about mechanics are just in it for the story or…?

we're talking about twewy and persona retard. sales AND steam reviews show twewy is shit
played it and its full of shit trying too hard to be edgy
cry about it

Man, you did not understand TWEWY, huh?

set level to 1

still beat the game

lmao great gameplay

we're talking about twewy and persona retard. sales AND steam reviews show twewy is shit

played it and its full of shit trying too hard to be edgy

Which one of these series has one of the main casts shooting themselves in the head to summon their Personas?

Thinks twewy of all series is edgy

you were probably this guy

That’s
That’s literally what you’re supposed to do, yes.

…Yes? That’s literally how raising the drop rate works.

one edgy thing vs the entire game's being

yeah, persona 3 is soooo edgy and sooo zetta slowwwwww

That’s literally how you get new pins.

A skeptical, reserved character who looks down on the stupid plot makes the inevitable faggy Square enix anime trope of the power of friendship more bearable.
He starts out based and then gets friends but he's still pretty reserved.
A character who already starts off being a huge cringey faggot is irredeemable.

Yes. Only pussies play at full level. Go big or go home.

hence it's shit
good gameplay my ass, balanced around your weakest point

You are aware that leveling in TWEWY does not have any effect on your stats besides HP, right?

Sounds to me that you probably should’ve played TWEWY in high school. Probably would’ve helped with your personality a lot.

My dude your levels literally don't matter in twewy, it's more gear focused and synergy based than anyway

every guy should find themselves a girl that responds to being sent weird porn by firing back with even weirder porn

he didn’t even play the game

I love it when retards expose themselves.

How the fuck is TWEWY the edgy one compared to Persona 3?

contrived

How?

Wait, people actually think Neku’s week 1 personality is based? I always just thought of him as someone trying way too hard to hide that he cares and being afraid of getting close to others due to his fears of getting hurt again. His reaction to Rhyme’s erasure says as much to me anyway.

I fucking know that you retards, and the fact that I still beat it without planning pins and using them on cooldown being enough is what makes it shit
wtf is the purpose of leveling if you're incentivized to keep it at 1? so weirdos think they did a fucking good job? nope, it's a joke
but I don't care about that desu. my main complaint is the shitty story, weird-ass characters with weird-ass designs that either keep reminding me of Kingdom Hearts organization xiii retards, or edgy teens (the fuck is with the weird chin mask?), and zoomer-millenial jokes
cry about it, your game is shit and it's dead

wtf is the purpose of leveling if you're incentivized to keep it at 1? so weirdos think they did a fucking good job? nope, it's a joke

You are aware about how the multiplier works, right?

(you)

Too many fucking zippers and pockets

People who are still in that very emotional state themselves but haven't been able to move on yet are the ones who think he's based.

he keeps doubling down on his retardation

Oh lord, I’m laughing.

it's shit, it's a joke, it's got a shitty story and characters, the only thing that matters in a JRPG btw, so it's shit
simple as that

So how are you supposed to hold the controller once you get all the party members? This shit is hella disorientating.

wtf is the purpose of leveling if you're incentivized to keep it at 1? so weirdos think they did a fucking good job? nope, it's a joke

The more you level up, the more the drop rate increases when you set it down. It’s not rocket science. Can you not read?

oh wooow i got a better pin that lets me kill enemies 2 seconds faster
amaaaaazing gameplay

This entire conversation just reaffirms to me that no matter what direction TWEWY threads will take, we’re still heads above Personafags.

Hold it like normal. The real trick is putting everyone on their own button and realizing that your best damage doesn't come from just mashing all the buttons on cooldown. Chaining your hits and moving strategically is much better than just loading up everyone with R2 bombs and then nuking the screen once every five minutes.

too bad it's your last game lmfao

A lot of people are heads above Personafags, that’s not saying much. Still true though.

we're gonna get a fighter spinoff one day trust the process
please

Rather die on a good note than seeing the IP become a cash cow. I’ve had my fill of FF7, thanks.

Too bad Barry left this shithole. He would love to see the downfall of FF and SE now.

It helps to remember that twewyfags actually like their games

that we can agree on. square enix is a joke

That’s part of the fun of customizing your pin loadout, yes. Even early game pins can be useful depending on how you set things up.

to be fair, being better than personafags isn't too hard to achive.

Yeah, we actually discuss the fucking gameplay for starters.

then i guess it's just not my cup of tea gameplay wise. doesnt change the shitty story and retarded characters though (but music is amazing so i'll give you that)

That's the problem. I'm trying to play optimally with every element and attack type covered, which leads to having to think about holding one button while mashing another and rhythmically pressing another and lining up thrusts into the walls and trying to dodge at the same time despite the constant perspective shifts.

shitty story and retarded characters

How is the story shitty and how are the characters retarded? Given the level of intelligence you’ve displayed in this thread so far, I’m not expecting much from your answer.

Try to make a pin deck that’s centered around a specific concept and finding your own rhythm. One of the best things about NEO as a game is how there’s a lot of viable options in regard to how you play.

My biggest issue with TWEWY was it was the very typical and very Japanese villain forgiveness shit. The villains do terrible shit the entire game but you're expected to let them go and forgive them over and over to focus on the bigger picture.

Final Fantasy often runs into the same issue, eg.

FF5 Gilgamesh kills countless soldiers and is a huge threat, then gets treated like a joke and becomes a friend

FF7 the Turks murder everyone in Sector 7, then get treated like a joke and/or cool and become friends

Funny enough FF14 mostly avoids this.

Neku explicitly says that he doesn’t forgive Joshua in the ending of the game but he still trusts him anyway due to actually doing right by him in the end.

TWEWY Reapers are basically soul janitors. The concept of the Reaper’s Game makes it essentially a necessary evil in the grand scheme of things since its job is to filter out the most creative who would be of most benefit to keeping society healthy and to offer them a second chance at life.

Gilgamesh is seen as a threat from the moment you meet him until the moment he's banished. He was always a ham, but never a cakewalk, constantly pulling new powers out of his ass to make his fights harder.
You only feel sympathy because his own master turns on him after he had been so loyal. What happens to him is tragic. He turns to help you partly because he respects your strength and wants to get back at ExDeath for banishing him.
You might only forgive him after he gives his own life as atonement. You fundamentally don't understand Gilgamesh's character.

Unironically this. I played the first game back in high school too.
