I've mulled it over during the weekend and will now probably buy it on Monday, anyone else pick that up yet?

i think i need to read up a little more on it before making a decision on purchasing. It looks good and stylish but i dont know if i can get into it or not, i'm not usually the rpg type.

Day 1 been looking at this game forever (since it was announced for Japan). The team behind this game is a very competent team and I have enjoyed past games of theirs. If anyone is on the fence about deciding what this game is about and perhaps want to see it in action, let me find the site. . . .

I just like the art style, its like Kingdom Hearts meets Jet Set Radio.

I actually tried checking out some videos on the site and it wouldnt load right for me, maybe i'll just buy it for the hell of it just to experience something new. I don't think i've heard anything negative about it anyway, so if i end up not enjoy it it'll be for my own reasons, and nothing to do with the game itself.

Got it today and played about an hour or so, definitely awesome~! One of the few action Rpgs out there where the battle system gameplay actually MAKES YOU WANT to play the game. Angsty main character Neku can get annoying though. . .

I just wanted to pop in and confirm that the game is awesome.

I went to pick it up at Gamestop and they sold out yesterday. They only had 3 copies.

Sounds like typical Gamestop shenanigans to me. Honestly, I haven't seen much interest in the media we've put up either, so this could end up being a missed gem by most of the public. If you can't find it locally by the end of the day, you should just order it online.

I plan to. The game sounds like fun, especially since it is coming from the developers of Kingdom Hearts AND it is such a unique game. It will be too bad if it bombs.

So what type of a game is this? An action RPG?

Adrock · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2008, 01:17:30 AM »

If I were to buy a new DS game, this would be it. I just can't justify buying a $40 DS game. ALL of Square-Enix's DS games are $40. It's like they think we're made of money.

EasyCure · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2008, 09:50:08 AM »

3 copies? ugh. There's a GS next to my job that always seems dead, so maybe they'll still have it.. unless 3 of the 4 employees bought one

This game is pretty damn rare, I've been searching for a few days for it (after spotting it last saturday) and it was nowhere to be found, I finally found three copies today (after searching eight stores), two of which were in a GameStop (hate those, they remove the wrap and put the pricetags on the box itself). I got the one that wasn't in a Gamestop. Same store I saw the XBox 360s in on launch day BTW. No idea if the game sold so quickly or if stores simply didn't want it (which would be strange, I've seen more copies of a third rate C&C knockoff than this). I wonder if it got advertised?

The game was priced at the normal 40 EUR (which isn't a given, some cost 42 and others go up to 50).

Icecold: Yeah, action RPG but with zoomed battles. The combat system is pretty unconventional. Your main character is pretty much a spellcaster using the touchscreen while you have a secondary character that fights with the dpad (combos and all).

Well I ordered it on ebgames.com with free 3 day shipping so hopefully I get it monday or Tuesda.

EasyCure · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2008, 03:07:21 PM »

Found it. Bought it. Impressions to come give it a few months

Darkheart · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2008, 08:03:41 PM »

Still enjoying the game the main character is becoming less emo but the whole item inventory and sub menu systems are so damn confusing, toss in the clothing,food, and fashion brand stuff to make me a very confused customer @___@. . .

Bloodworth · « **Reply #17 on:** April 24, 2008, 11:08:01 PM »

I broke down and ordered one of these beauties. Hopefully I'll get it soon.

I suck at this game.

I can't beat the statue that turns into a wolf thing.

I have a "no buying a game while working on a review" policy. The fact of the matter is I wont be able to focus on what I'm trying to review if I know there's a better game to play.

Right now I'm about ready to launch my DS into the sun, so I'm willing to guess The World Ends With Outrageous Clothes is better than what I'm playing.

Now that I've read this thread I've become worried that I wont be able to find it when I finish. I don't even know how much is left in the game I'm on. All I know is I need to grind and the game PREVENTS you from grinding.

Holy crap, I'd never play anything if I did that. I generally get handed a new game within an hour after turning in one of my scripts.

You probably get better stuff than I do. $:-\$

ShyGuy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 25, 2008, 03:28:54 PM »

You bought a statue?

Bloodworth · « **Reply #23 on:** April 25, 2008, 04:08:15 PM »

Yeah. Not something I normally do, but I need some cool stuff for my desk.

Darkheart · « **Reply #24 on:** April 25, 2008, 05:17:27 PM »

Please guide me to the link that allows me to purchase that piece of awesomeness~!
