Yes. Everything Is Rubbish.

The first time I saw The World Ends With You was back when it was titled It's A Wonderful World and had no plans of a UK release date, and I was in love. It's quirkiness. It's unique look. A DS game that had caught my attention in a way that nothing really had done since Mario Kart. But then doubt set in. I wanted to protect my fragile expectations. I become concerned that the sharp art style would out-do the substance. And that behind the A-grade looks, would like an F grade game. After all, Square Enix y'all. Fast-forward, and I had the game.

It's looking like Last window will be no different.
