Square Enix opens new TWEWY Countdown site
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date

The 2D sprites are a major aspect I loved about the first game; both the pixel ones on DS and the super refined ones on mobile/Switch. However, I can always go back to the first game if I miss them so much. if going 3D allows for a better combat system I'd be fine with it, could give the series a pretty big push too.
The timer gets a bit messy based on your timezone. It's only accurate for people in Japan.
Oh. Well if this being targeted exclusively to Japanese people, I feel like that's a sign it's not anything too significant.
Countdown being for Japan =/= Japan exclusive announcement. If it's a Switch game, in fact, the countdown would have to be in Japan only as it's the only region where Square Enix itself would do the promotion, rather than Nintendo elsewhere (as has been shown with DQXIS, DQB2...).
Plus, TWEWY did better in the West anyway, so anything that happens with it will definitely make it over.
I like how there's clearly a right half to this with the heroes, looking at the 104 building and skull
Small chance it could have three pieces. I kinda doubt it though, so yeah weird omission.
2 hours
We keep doing this lol
The timer gets messed up if you aren't in Japan. 10 AM EST
the website countdown is going off your system time, the info drops at midnight JST
Weren't there some rumors that the sequel would be multiplatform? I feel like I read that here somewhere...
Why would they announce a sequel in the middle of the night? Definitely keeping my expectations low.

it's actually pretty common for info to drop around that time, it's one of the few times where you can expect most of the world to be awake
Sure, but the countdown has been focused on Japan -- all the updates and the site itself. Kinda weird to then make a big announcement in the dead of night there.
All the recent Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcases have aired at 23:00 JPT, and there have been several mid-to-major announcements for the Japanese audience featured inside them.
This is pretty much around the same time Nintendo does most of their announcements. It isn't that weird.
TWEWY initial success came from abroad and not Japan, it's the norm now but it was more unusual back then and probably why the IP wasn't buried like many others Squix IP on DS (Sigma Harmonics, Blood of Bahamuth, FF 4 heroes of light, Mana titles...), that and a producer still wanting to keep the IP alive.

Midnight new announcement/info dump is quite common for Japanese companies.
4 Heroes wasn't really buried - it evolved into Bravely Default. Just saying, because I like that game a lot :P
The link in the op says 6 hours though?
In for the chaos in just over an hour

New Key visual
That animation is SO BAD. digital animation was a mistake.
Timed Switch exclusive was the rumor that was floating around a while ago.

Huh? What's wrong with it? It looks like a great adaptation of the games style to me.
4HOL wasn't really shelved, it evolved directly into Bravely. Mana was actually planned to continue on to Wii but the team quit to form Grezzo.
I think we all understood that you have no faith after your hundredth post in this thread on the matter dude
