Multiples times during my first playthrough of The World Ends With You I related too dang much to Neku at the time and I just had to step back for a little bit. Also all the images and music in the credits were *perfect*. Game straight up changed my life I swear https://twitter.com/Litt1eR3d/status/1265014200943902720
Keep in mind I was just getting out of high school when I first played it and drifting apart from friends and people I knew from there. I was an angsty teen who was lost trying to find their way in the world, AND GUESS WHAT THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU IS ABOUT???
I'd seriously recommend anyone around that age to play that game. I'm not even kidding you when I say that it gave me some much needed advice and mentorship in a time when I really needed it.
And also everything in that game is god tier. Music, story, writing, gameplay, art, just... everything. It's SO damn good
