The World Ends with You: Final Remix details and screenshots – new pins, music, more

Square Enix provided a new wave of details and screenshots for The World Ends with You: Final Remix today. We have the latest on new pins, music, and more. Find the full breakdown below, courtesy of Gematsu.

How to Survive the Reapers’ Game

– “Clear this mission or face erasure”
– With that, Neku and the others get dragged into the irrational Reapers’ Game
– In order to clear their missions, they must solve mysteries at various places in Shibuya and defeat the Noise blocking their path
– (1) A mission is sent to the participant’s cell phone; erasure awaits those who are unable to clear this mission within the time limit…
– (2) Run around Shibuya in search of hints to clear the mission; use Psychic Scanning to read Thought Fragments of the people bustling about Shibuya
– (3) Battle Noise; work with your partner to defeat the Noise that attack

Scanning

– Reapers’ Game participants can use “Scanning”
– Tap the pin at the lower right of the screen on the field and the scan field will expand and the Thought Fragments of the surrounding people will flow in
– Most Thought Fragments consist of chatter, but there may be a hint to clearing your mission hidden among them
– A Noise symbol may also appear during a scan; touch it to battle against Noise

Battle

– Touch command battles with intuitive controls that depend on various types of touches to the screen
– These include taps and slashes
– When playing with Joy-Cons, a pointer will appear on the screen
– Work together with your partner to attack the enemy and increase your Sync rate
– When your sync rate reaches 100 percent, you can use a Fusion special attack that heals Neku’s HP and deals major damage to all of the enemies
– Fusions differ depending on the partner and have the feeling of a minigame

Fusions

– A Fusion uses one of three card systems
– Three levels of Fusions
– The higher the rank, the more powerful the Fusion, but the higher the sync rate required
– Neku and Shiki: ESP Cards: quickly memorize the cards, then tap the ones with the same symbol as the card at the top; the more you get right, the more damage your Fusion will deal, and the higher your drop rate will increase
– Neku and Joshua: Mantic Cards: tap the cards in numerical order as fast as you can; if you tap the correct cards, your attack power and drop rate will increase
– Neku and Beat: Kinesis Cards: tap extra cards to discard them and close the gaps; when two cards of the same suit touch, they will disappear and your attack power and drop rate will increase

Pins

– Over 300 pins for battles
– Each pin’s effect and how to activate it differs
– Get pins in battle or at the shop
– Depending on the pin you equip, you can unleash a great variety of attacks
– The combination of pins you equip is also important for connecting combos

New Pins for Final Remix

– The Cruel Fortune-Teller: By holding and releasing Neku… swords will fly out all around him; this is also effective against long distance Noise.
– Yadokari Phaser (Hermit Crab Phaser): By slashing Neku, he will freely run around the area, dealing damage to any Noise he bumps into; when he hits the edge of the screen, he bounces off
– Hanayome Date: by tapping the air, a huge sphere will appear in the direction of your tap; it will drift about for a fixed period of time, and can induce and damage Noise
– As you progress through the story, you will be able to gain more experience points by not playing
– Since there are pins that evolve as you level up, be sure to take advantage of this system

Brands

– 13 brands throughout Shibuya
– Most items and pins belong to a brand
– Fight with your favorite brand’s pins and equipment to increase the popularity of the brand in that area.
– The Brand Ranking displays the popularity of brands by rank
– Pins of the brands ranked in the top three have increased attack power
– The brand ranked #13 has decreased attack power
– Neku and company can buy equippable clothes and other items at the shop
– By becoming friends with the shopkeeper, more items will be added to purchase

Background Music

– 92 background songs
– New, arranged, and original songs included
– Change between original and arranged songs at any time

Some songs:

Twister Give me all your love

New songs with different tastes that have yet to appear in The World Ends with You will make their debut in Final Remix, and arranged songs have a completely different atmosphere than their original counterpart.

Mr. H

– Coffee shop owner claims to be a “guardian” keeping an eye on the Reapers’ Game
– Gives Neku sound advice

Higashizawa

– This massive Reaper only just hit 20
– He can still demolish a parking lot with one well-placed fist
– If there’s a brain somewhere in Higashizawa’s brawn, he often forgets to use it once something gets his emotions cooking

Minamimoto

– Violent and maliciously mathematical
– Young genius who is definitely not to be factored with
– After posting some “zetta” outstanding numbers, Minmmimoto shot up the Reaper organization’s ranks

Konishi

– This dangerous vixen may be dressed to serve, but she sits comfortably in the top echelon of Shibuya’s Reapers
– Konishi seems to be calling at least some of the shots, but Neku and the others hardly ever see her

Kitaniji

– Running the showis Kitaniji
– Careful planner whose discerning tastes shape the Game
– It takes a confident, imaginative mind to sit atop the Reaper ranks, but Kitaniji knows he is the best man for the job
