Interview with a Director (a possible interest in TWEWY sequel?)

Jan 22, 2009 21:31

Okay, it's not really news, but it's something.

IGN interviewed Tatsuya Kando, the director of our beloved TWEWY. In this interview, Kando expresses some interest in a sequel, but perhaps not to DS, but rather, the Wii console. You can read the full interview here:

Personally, I think the game is perfection ( Read more... )

I don't have a Wii, so that would make me sad... But Yay! A sequel would be awesome. XD

Thanks for sharing. ~~

I do have the consoles, if there were some kind of sequel, but I rather a full blown manga series or an anime series for TWEWY. Hell, next month there's a Takarazuka play for Phoenix Wright/Gyakuten Saiban. A Subarashiki Kono Sekai/TWEWY Takarazuka play would be epic as well. (Also, I would want Tsukigumi/Moon Troupe to cast it because I'm a Kiriyan fangirl and she would make an awesome Joshua is besides the point...)

Yeah... Silly thoughts there. ^^

I dunno . . . I really dislike the tie-in manga that does exist. It treats Neku as your standard RPG everyman dumbass instead of, y'know, Neku.

Wow, I'd love to get a sequel to TWEWY, but I have no idea how they would go about making one. I mean, the story in TWEWY pretty much wrapped itself up, leaving only a couple of holes that I don't think would make for much of a game... unless you're talking about a prequel. Because knowing more about Josh and/or Hanekoma's past would be pretty badass. But if they're planning on a sequel, my guess is that they would do it with different characters in a different setting.

I'd still go out and buy it like the rabid fangirl that I am, though 8D

I'm thinking it could be done if you took Neku and then dumped him into one of the alternate realities. It'd be a nice, in-game way of justifying why he's level zero again - different world, different world rules and he has to learn how they work.

sea_serpent January 23 2009, 19:11:55 UTC

That could work, true. Hopefully Squeenix would have the sense to add the "different world rules" bit, too. I mean, I love me some TWEWY, but if they're going to do a sequel I would hope that it wouldn't just be the exact same game but with different dialogue, you know?

... And I really hope that they toss in an "Another Day" equivalent somewhere. That little addition simply made my day when I got to it XD

I... I'm not complaining, but I must admit I'm kind of baffled. I knew that it did very well abroad but I was under the impression that it didn't sell well in Japan.

But damn, a sequel would be absolutely fucking awesome.

I fear all Squeenix sequels based purely off past precedent.

semisphere January 23 2009, 13:15:16 UTC

Yeah, I just keep thinking about FPS missions, Shiki and Rhyme in those D+B bikinis and Joshua admitting that Neku made him feel like he had a heart.

I wouldn't mind it if we didn't see these characters again tbh

flidget_jerome was giving me some highlights from the tie-in comic, and I nearly headdesked myself through a wall.
