Nathan Adams
>>612650806Man, I love Stuck in the Middle. Made positioning a hell of a lot easier for certain pin and Mashup types.
Tyler Ross
>>612650898They’re more handy than people give them credit for. One of my faves is the one that sucks enemies in and inflicts confusion on them with a good status-build.
Jaxson Cruz
The connection between "world is yours" and "NEW GAME" is an interesting on that I've never seen mentioned.>WIY is Rindo's theme>NG is like a less intense version of WIY and keeps getting interupted by other songs>NG doesn't have much of its own identity>WIY is a fully realised song that represents Rindo's feelings compared to NG at the start where Rindo just accepted other peoples ideas as his ownI don't know if that was intentional but it's still kino

James Cruz
>>612652790I liked how Aero had light Magnet properties, Blizzard can create Flowmotion rails, and Water can act as a shield but yeah, I wish the magic in KH3 had more unique variations or utility on their own. Stop, Gravity, and Magnet were fucking great.

Where's the fucking game on steam, I can't see it? Why is square so fucking dumb? Doing a "how to use steam" segment during TGS but insiting on keeping games on the marketing black hole store? They really are the nintendo of multi-plat publishers.
Alexander Anderson
>>612653386My main issue with KH3 is that the delivery of the majority of spells is the same, they're all projectiles that have some level of homing. I don't have to think about how the magic is used, just what it does on hit which is pretty lame. I can't use reflect to counter a hit which makes an enemy vulnerable, cast magnet to trap them then do some melee hits into the fire finisher for example. A lot of the morphes don't help this either with the launchers just making every spell big AoE attacks, pistols making all spells homing bullets and many melee weapons making all spells into KH2 fire. NEO handled this kind of system better in my eyes because how many cool interactions you can make with Mashups and your pins (using Gravity to activate the ability of Aerial Assassin pins, using Poltergeist to swing Noise into the ice pillars, baiting Noise to jump into a water geyser and watch them get launched, using Black Hole in combination with Fire to increase the damage of the lingering flames, etc).
Andrew Hughes
>>612654324I personally really like the Electric Mashup. It’s one of the harder Mashups to position but if you utilize it just right, you can bounce around enemies into the cages of an Electric Mashup for knockback, use it for area denial for enemies such as bears, wolves, and birds, stack up damage on large enemies such as mammoths and dinos since their large sizes means more hitboxes spread across the cage, or hold them in place at the edge with status effects or Black Hole/Snare Trap to increase its overall damage on trapped enemies. I think the one thing I think would’ve make it even cooler was to make it so that if you knock an enemy into the walls with, say, a well-placed Grizzly or Massive Hit pin, it activates a Beatdrop prompt since it technically counts as knocking an enemy into a wall.
Oliver Russell
Coco if she real
Elijah Foster
>>612654821Shit, that actually sounds really cool and now I’m sad that it’s not a thing. Oh well, still a really cool system.

Jose Campbell
>>612654821You can also use it to trap enemies, which can come in handy for the puffer Noise.
Charles Powell
>>612655368Sho's great and all, he's up there for sure. But nobody can beat Beat.
Jordan Rogers
>>612655258For me, it’s based Nagirl. Shoka, Kanon, and Uzuki are also some of my faves.

What are some of your favorite psychs to use? For me, it’s Poltergeist. Love just swinging Noise around.

I still find it curious how TWEWY and KH get labeled as button-mashers by some of the public when they have some of the most sensible core mechanics compared to a lot of other ARPGs I’ve played.
Jason Hernandez
for me it's RAT (from an old collab album between SAWA and Ishimoto)youtube.com
Evan Edwards
>>612662897What makes you say that if you don’t mind me asking?
Jonathan Cook
>>612648379And people trusted the Nvidia leak with their life that it was going to release on steam back on spring lmao
Anthony Martin
I'm not going to read a goddamn thing in this thread because I'm just now playing the game after failing to get into it when I played on release, but I just want to say Fret yelling "WHAT WILL HE DO NEXT" and then making the screen explode into a fireball will never cease to amuse me. See y'all in like a month once I can't be spoiled.
Tyler Gutierrez
>>612655258People already gave my picks. But its Sho and Nagi for me. I'm also really fond of Neku as well tho.>>612656054Also, that fan art is so good. Love the perv gremlin energy.
Anthony Martin
>>612655258This dude keeps me going, love him
Lucas Mitchell
>>612663323Basically, when it comes down to it, lot of ARPGs tend to fucking suck when it comes to balancing skill-based combat with RPG mechanics. Like Nier Automata, FFXV, and GoW tying hitstun to leveling, Graces F, as much as I love the combat, tying consistently hitstunning enemies to the accuracy stat, or having your general damage output be lowered due to you not grinding your stats high enough. Even Dragon’s Dogma, one of my favorite games, isn’t immune to this (though at least in that game you can mitigate this with good equips). TWEWY and KH have some of the best balance in this regard because the damage output you dish out is still relatively high due to the damage floor being honest. RPG build variety is still present, especially in TWEWY, but good utilization of the mechanics in both will still help you get very far. Hitstun is also consistent in both (well, the mainline entries and Recoded at least) in that small enemies are susceptible to all hits, mid-sized enemies are more vulnerable to finishers and big hits, and large enemies need a different approach.
Tyler Sanchez
>>612664686Very good points. TWEWY also managed to make cooldowns not suck as part of the combat, impressively enough.
Mason Kelly
>>612665580Cooldowns are often looked down upon by high-level action game players due to how the devs use them as a band-aid to cover up the lack of meter management and on-the-fly decision making (see Nier Automata, GoW 2018, most of the KH Osaka games) but I feel like they fail to take into account how the games themselves are built around those systems. In that regard, I’d say that the TWEWY games actually have a pretty damn smart way of balancing their combat systems around cooldowns. They’re tied to your only means of attacking (the pins) so resource management is a core part of the combat and there are multiple ways to manipulate them. What also works in TWEWY’s case is how the cooldowns are related towards building up the power of the light puck or building up Groove. If you just spam, you’ll be missing out on less opportunity to build up the puck for more damage since it can eventually go away if you’re not doing consistent finishers and in NEO, Groove rapidly depletes if you’re not doing Beatdrops consecutively. Unlike the other games I’ve mentioned, there are in-game battle goals that reward you immensely for properly managing your meters and adds an extra layer of depth to the combat. You can also stagger your pins and let them recharge when the gauge is still up for more uptime, which is especially noteable in NEO since there are Psychs like Firestorm that only requires you to inflict the burn effect in order to activate its Beatdrop, which you can augment with Ailing Enemies.

Leo Jackson
>>612666723Maybe it would’ve have flopped if Squeenix didn’t fuck up the marketing.
Brayden Lewis
>>612666723They released Balan fucking Wonderworld on Steam, I’m pretty sure they can spare a few bucks for NEO.

Is Neo a sequel to the original ds game?
Alexander Carter
>>612648072I picked it up off amazon for 15 bucks for ps4 the other day. Should I bother with replaying TWEWY on ds or switch first? I haven't played it since it came out fucking forever ago.
Lucas Cruz
>>612669738Yep.
Mason Johnson
>>612669693holy shit bigchungus, every twewy video i watch there's one of your comments in there, your combo videos are pretty cool man
Asher Morris
>>612669741You don't really have to replay the original in my opinion, but remembering stuff from the original does make neo more fun in my opinion
Ryan Wilson
>>612670028Thanks man. Currently busy with work and life at the moment but I will be making more videos soon.
Jonathan Price
>>612669693Oh cool. Either him or his editor has good taste.
Colton White

I started replaying this recently Beat looking exactly like neku and him ceasing to explain it will forever piss me off
Brayden Turner

Jayden Clark
>>612669741If you played it once, you probably remember the broad strokes like Neku becoming more open and shit, that's enoughThe first game is fun and not that long so it wouldn't take you too long to replay it probably
Ryan Gonzalez
>>612670723The plot was changed because Nomura fucked up.

Anyone got "a few what in my what?"
Caleb Wright
There’s no way that BOTH Kingdom Hearts and NTWEWY are stuck forever, r-right? Surely SE saw the direct comparison of sales between FFVIIR on Steam and Epic, r-right?
Levi Martin
>>612666191it's also worth pointing out that in TWEWY you pick your own cooldowns. If you think they're too long then you can build a deck of pins with shorter cooldowns.
Adrian Allen
>>612672195Yeah, it’s very customizable in that sense, which is nice.

Gavin Cox
Anyone else wishing we got more scenes with Hishima? His banter with Shiba was pretty based.
Charles Wilson
>>612675491I do. Him roasting the hell out of Shiba and actually getting him to listen was pretty nice to see.

Liam Bailey
>>612654324As someone who makes combo vids on the game, it feels so smooth just executing well-thought out pin sequences into the desired mashup, then playing off the effects of the mashup with my pins while building up groove and planning forward as to what mashup I want to build into next. The flow that comes from making those decisions is unlike anything achieved in OG TWEWY, as great as its combat is.
Anthony Jones
>>612679957Yeah, Mashups are a lot more fun than Fusions in my opinion.
Mason Martinez
>>612681095Fun? Sure. Cool? Not a chance.
Henry Hernandez
Andrew Cox
>>612681310>sucking up enemies into a black hole and stopping time itself isn’t cool
Liam Turner
>>612682230It's about being MORE cool than fusions. Find me a mash-up as cool as dropping the fucking moon and I'll retract my statement.

>>612686154But I want it by 2024 at the latest tho
Luke Peterson
>>612686842Anon, do you really think Squeenix is going to invest money in a TWEWY game that soon?
Colton Diaz
>>612687207Not really. But I wanted to ramble my unrealistic wishes anyway
Adrian Morales
>>612648379This please give me a Steam release already, and of SoP too.
Samuel Watson
>>612687567I get you, man. I get you.
Jaxson Young
>>612683250Shiba in general had incredible meme potential, but the shortba edit really came out of left field. It was for the best though.
Jordan Campbell
I really think that if TWEWY weren't so obscure, a lot of its songs, namely Transformation, World is Yours, Breaking Free, and We're Losing You, would be on the level of stuff like MGRR and Bury the Light in terms of popular vocal vgm.Shame, because they're just as good.
Eli Jackson
>>612691918That’s the sad reality of being a niche property, sadly. At least we got some cool memes.
Juan Morgan
this game is fucking evergreenreplayed it twice, still love itthe story's better a second time when you notice all of the little foreshadowingprobably gonna wait a little while till all the details blur to replay it a 3rd time
Mason Morales
>>612692338>>612691918I'll see you all when we're middle aged and Twewy 3 drops in 2035hopefully we get some twewy cameos in the next 20 KH games that'll fill that time
Cameron Richardson
>>612694108Nice and same here. The character writing is just full of details.
Alexander Nguyen
>>612691918You just gotta wait for those songs to show up in a super popular video, or wait for some super popular streamer to shout the game out.

Wyatt Evans
>>612699358It is on sale. But don't. You're paying for halved FPS or lags in battle. Don't do that to yourself.
Michael Price
>>612699358AwfulNot even an exaggeration. You will get virtually single digit FPS in combat or very close to it
