I turn on my 3DS and it informs me that I have a gift.

Whaaaaat?
sincere: DGM: Lenalee's back to the viewer (holidays ;;)

[personal profile] sincere 2012-03-04 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I have three gifts. They're programs for some reason! Like a 3D Pokedex! Oh okay. Well, it's nice to get gifts.

I'm turning up the music ALL THE WAY. Because I hate us.

This game has some godawful repetitive music.

Continuing my saved game, but starting from the beginning. Because, yeah, level 67.

We open on artistic cut-ins of Shibuya, and Neku is the only spot of color. He monologues:

Shut up.
Go the hell away.
I don't get people.
All the world needs is me.

Title card. Aww yeah we got some existential shit going on.

So Neku wakes up in the middle of the crowded Scramble Crossing and he is totally not sure why he was sleeping in the middle of an extremely busy pedestrian intersection in the heart of Shibuya.

He gets up and he finds a pin in his hand, and then he is able to hear people's thoughts ahhhh out of my head

Note: 4 minutes before [personal profile] rainfall physically grabbed the 3DS from me and turned off the volume rather than listen to the howling city theme anymore.

Neku is very confused about what is happening and why he has this pin, then the game instructs me on how to read minds. Let's see what people in Shibuya are concerned about right now.
sincere: DGM: Lenalee's back to the viewer (for her grave ;;)

"I'm 10 yen short of buying a drink and I'm so thirstyyyy."
"Secondhand shops are the scum of the earth."
"Bean paste on pancakes is amazing. Stupid cityfolk don't know good eats."
"I wonder if Kyo will be skateboarding at the park today."
"Towa Records and AMX write some passionate music reviews that I disagree with!"
"The Prince can't sing but that's part of why I find his music mesmerizing for some reason."

Good old Shibuya. ♥

Neku is still puzzling out his new ability to read minds when his phone goes off.
Reach 104. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure. --The Reapers.

But wait! The message is still there. "It's like the junk mail from hell," Neku concludes, puzzled. Then his hand is emblazoned with a digital countdown and these mysterious frog monsters come at him ahhhh!!

They're attacking him and I get to flail around on the battlefield and learn how to escape from fights because I can't fight them yet. Hooray for strategic cowardice!
sincere: DGM: Lenalee hugs Komui happily (no boundaries ;;)

"Gotta bounce!"

Neku shouts for help, but no one notices him, even though Scramble Crossing is still packed full of people. Frustrated, he makes a run for it.

Opening animation!

I love Joshua's look at the beginning when he runs past each of his partners. The way at first he's so dark and displeased, but as Neku dashes past him he turns around and smirks slowly.

I also love the style of the credits... The whole game has great styling. I just wish less anorexia were involved.

We introduce two Reapers who aren't yet named.

Male Reaper With The Lollipop is boreeeed and doesn't waaaaanna work. Female Reaper With The Pink Hair points out they haven't worked in weeks, so shut it. Day 1 is when you can rack up the most points, so let's go!

Frankly, Lollipop, I don't think I would object to having to work one week out of any given month.

Lollipop suggests a game, so it doesn't feel so much like work. "C'mon, you love it." Pinky agrees to play "Reaper Sport #3: Player Hunt". Who can bag the most Players during the mission today?

Pinky doesn't think this game sounds fun, because she's going to totally win. ♥ "Now I have to actually try," Lollipop bemoans.

Loser buys the winner a hot bowl of ramen.

The frogs follow Neku to the Statue of Hachiko, and then the frogs start plucking people out from the crowd and eating them while they scream. Cheerful game is cheerful.

Neku is really freaking out by now ("WHY AM I EVEN HERE? WHAT IS GOING ON") but the frogs are still trying to murder him. Not a lot of time to think.
rainfall: A girl stands in the midst of fallen leaves. You can't see her face. (Default)

Less anorexia. Better music. (gym)

I confess, I'm a sucker for a good manipulative bastard.

Fuck you game.

Now I want ramen. :(

Suddenly, a chick arrives!

Shiki: Forge a pact with me!
Neku: Uhh, I've kinda got my hands full...
Shiki: Forge a pact with me and we can kill the Noise!
Neku: Who cares about some noise?!
Shiki: Please.
Neku: Uh... fine. I accept?

Now for shoujo blue power-up sequence!
sincere: TOA: Peony is upbeat (oh hey ;;)

[personal profile] sincere 2012-03-04 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Neku is confused about the shoujo blue power-up sequence, demands, "What's with the light show?" I love him.

Our new partner gives us another pin! The original pin is black with a stylized skull on it; this one is red with a flame on it.

Now we can attack the frogssss. No explanations for Neku, who is still wide-eyed and reeling.
sincere: TOV: Estelle is fond (the sweetest thing ;;)

[personal profile] sincere 2012-03-04 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Shiki is impressed that Neku can use the pin. "You must be really good at psychs!" she says happily, "Guess I found the right partner!"

WHAT ARE PSYCHS. They're magical pin powers. But Neku gets the important part: now that he's made a pact, the Noise won't attack him.
sincere: TOV: Yuri reclines with a smile, natural (he's got it all ;;)

By the way, goodbye Joshua who was lurking in the back of the crowd like a normal pedestrian. I saw you there.
