Each pin is assigned to a unmarried button and requires a unlike input.[four] Wearable "threads" too requite a boost to the player characters' abilities.[iv] Common game enemies are chosen "Racket", which are negative emotions that have come to life.[5] The scanning ability the thespian uses to search for these enemies allows the player to read characters' thoughts.[5]
Leveling up grants the histrion characters bonus HP; other stats can be upgraded past ordering meals at restaurants in-game, though the thespian characters tin only swallow when they are hungry, depicted past a battery meter that depletes after each fight.

Exterior of gainsay, characters can use their abilities to assist people and explore the city - for case, Fret's "Remind" power will remind all NPCs in an surface area nigh a particular topic, and Shoka'due south "Telewarp" lets the grouping teleport to previously inaccessible areas. More of these abilities are acquired past progressing through the story. Previous days can be revisited at whatever fourth dimension in order to access previously incomplete side missions.

Development and release [edit]
"I've had a chance to nourish various events in unlike countries during the 11 years following the release of The Earth Ends with You lot. On many occasions, I have been interviewed by both the fans and the media, who have told me how much they want me to brand a sequel for The World Ends with You. We've been looking for an opportunity, and there were a few times we tried to get it started, merely fourth dimension passed without it ever coming to realization. There are a number of implications backside this Concluding Remix version. In add-on to my intention of making this my last fourth dimension working with the original game, I think this is the final chance for creating a path to the side by side step, which I've had ideas about since the first launch 11 years ago. Many thanks to everyone for supporting ongoing efforts."
Tetsuya Nomura, Artistic Producer and Main Grapheme Designer, discussing The World Ends with You: Final Remix [8]
The original The Globe Ends with You (TWEWY) had been developed by common team members and released around the same time every bit the Kingdom Hearts serial. While the latter had more sales and recognition, the onetime had garnered a potent cult following equally well as being a projection of interest past creative producer and character designer Tetsuya Nomura and managing director Tatsuya Kando.[9] Even so, much of the original's team were too involved in subsequent Kingdom Hearts games to focus on a follow up according to Kando.[10] TWEWY remained of pregnant interest inside Foursquare Enix, which led to them collaborating with h.a.n.d. on a high-definition port for mobile devices via Solo Remix in 2012, and some other port for the Nintendo Switch via Final Remix in 2018, the latter of which included a new affiliate called "A New Twenty-four hour period" with new characters. Final Remix was directed by Hiroyuki Itou and produced past Tomohiko Hirano, both of whom reprise their roles for Neo.[ix] According to Hirano, while the idea for a sequel had been on their minds for some time, "we needed to secure an environs where we could focus on this game, so that's why it took a little fleck of time for us to deliver it to you lot".[9]
Kando stated that while Neo is a sequel, they did not want to telephone call it The World Ends with You 2, as at that place were many significantly new ideas in both gameplay and narrative, and were introducing new characters.[9] However, Kando did state they wanted to address the loose ends from the original game, as well as from the "A New Day" scenario in Terminal Remix, simply present it from the viewpoint of characters completely new to the Reapers' Game.[9] Role of this includes the major shift from the dual-screen battle system used in the Nintendo DS game to a single-screen system. According to Itou, they wanted to brand certain to retain the focus of teamwork of the DS battle system, and developed the new 3D-based battle system then that the player has control of all 4 members of the party at the same fourth dimension, a concept that was explored during the evolution of Solo Remix.[10]
Nomura returned to design the character art. For the pb character of Rindo, he was looking to provide some type of iconic item of clothing that would brand him stand out and correspond his isolated personality, similar to Neku's headphones in the original game. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, he had seen that face masks had become a popular fashion accessory for the youth of Japan and opted for that;[ix] he did not imagine that face masks would become a normal occurrence in the world by the fourth dimension the game launched.[eleven]
The game'south world will yet exist based on an accurate representation of modern-day Shibuya, expanding maps into other areas of the district such as Harajuku. The game reflects the changes in Shibuya in the xiv years since the original game, such as renovations to Miyashita Park that were completed in 2020.[10]
