Shouldn't this be in the Square Enix section...?

No .

Yes .

Actually we clarified things waaaaaaaay back at the beginning when we announced we would be covering TWEWY, so all of the news articles go here in FoKH (inappropriate title, I know, we're working on it).

There's a lot of news. We'd rather not make a mess in the SE section.

I think we need to put "And The World Ends With You news" in the description at the very least (like I imagined was there but realized wasn't)

[strike]or make a TWEWY subsection if they ever make TWEWY2 because i know for a fact they will have kh cameo in it because of kh3d[/strike]

there i did a thing <3

(agreed there must be kh in the future twewy)

Not sure if I'll buy. (read: will buy anyways)

I love any and all tribute albums by Square Enix in general so I will probs buy (or listen to a lot). I've already killed my NieR tribute album by playing it so much. TWEWY will not escape this fate.

Okay, bed. I'm waxing on like a bad poet.

Sign you're beautiful for the thing <3

"This is your hub for everything Kingdom Hearts, including discussion on the series in general, the community, merchandise, development, and so forth. This board also includes discussion for newly-released titles including Dream Drop Distance and upcoming titles such as Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- and Kingdom Hearts III. The World Ends With You news articles are posted here."

Now it is official!

But isn't this KHinsider? Don't get me wrong, TWEWY is actually in my Top 3 Videogames of All Time. But this site is just for Kingdom Hearts, and it always has been. Just because TWEWY made 1 appearance in only KH3D, you guys don't have to post TWEWY news too. What if there was a website doing Zelda news, and Super Smash Bros. came out. Would that site have to post news on all franchises apart of Super Smash Bros.?

There is often a lot of overlap between TWEWY and Kingdom Hearts, especially because a significant number of the TWEWY team works on KH. TWEWY Solo Remix, the iOS port of TWEWY, contained Kingdom Hearts songs made for KH3D as did the Crossover album released a few months back as well as a few remixes of these songs still with "KINGDOM" attached to them. We have reported on miscellaneous Disney news and Square Enix news in the past as well, usually because it is interesting enough to warrant it.

Also TWEWY news is not and never will be a major focus of ours as we do not report on all of the TWEWY news that does come out. We do it to supplement slow news days, and because of Kingdom Hearts 3D (even if that doesn't sound like a reason to you; it was reason enough for us) If we did not have a dedicated sister site, Final Fantasy Network, we probably would report on major Final Fantasy news as well. There are many Kingdom Hearts news sites out there who report on more than KH news, as there are Final Fantasy sites that also report on Kingdom Hearts news and beyond so we like to keep things fresh.

Hahahaha I remember having this conversation... I came here to comment "I thought there was going to be less TWEWY music news" lawlawlawroflcopteretcjgfdkdfkjldd.

Nah I like TWEWY. But they have a lot of musics or something... :3

Ok, that makes sense. TWEWY is awesome, but I just don't want it to replace KH on this site. And you guys are doing a pretty good job of that not happening.

I like that you guys cover TWEWY news here. I hope you continue to do so.

If they make a TWEWY 2 they should have Sora or Riku as secret unlockable characters.

While I don't think that will happen (considering Neku and the cast weren't playable in DDD) I'd love for to just pop up in a secret cutscene or story like Another Day in TWEWY1 :)

P.S. I want to hear some of the tracks and see the cover of this album lol I think SE does nice OST covers (minus that 10th Anniversary Fan Selection which I wasn't a fan of) so I'm excited ^_^

This is what I believe would happen in TWEWY2 [strike]when[/strike] if it happens. The knowledge that there are many Shibuyas in the TWEWY multiverse and that KH!Shibuya is one of them helps to set up a nice Another Day in TWEWY2 where Sora and Riku finally visit and get thrown into some whacked-up adventure. It'd be great if they had more than one Another Day:

[LIST]
[*]Another Day - Kingdom Remix (Sora: "Woah, what are these monsters? Heartless" Riku: "No, they are something else entirely" ???: "As keen as always, Riku~" Sora: "Uwah! *falls*" Joshua: "Tee hee~")
[*]Another Day - Piggy Remix (must go back to the original Another Day with the Crayola Warriors in Tin Pin Slammer land)
[*]Another Day - Coco Remix (Live Remix should get love since atm we have no clue if it will ever make it to the western world)
[*]etc, etc
[/LIST]

Because KH and the original characters associated with it are owned by Disney, to put them in a TWEWY game (even as a small cameo) they'd have to have Disney okay that, right? I kinda fear that Disney would say no to that because of the TWEWY games being more mature than KH. It'd be really disappointing for TWEWY2 to happen, then in some interview after release we see Nomura going, "Originally we wanted a KH cameo, but we weren't allowed."

Ugh, just talking about this makes me really sad because we don't even know if we'll ever see a TWEWY sequel. Obviously Square is caring (somewhat) about the series because of Solo and Live, but the lack of any knowledge of what they plan to do is disheartening. Hopefully something is in the works and they're just waiting to announce it so that we aren't sitting around for a couple years waiting for the release, like with most of SE's games.

So if they are making a new album
is their a fature for TWENY is a sequel in developments or coneption
I thought it was just arefreshed title, and then they didnt confirm if that girl was a new chracter or not

I don't suppose you remember the TWEWY audition they held last year to find an inspiring artist to work with Takeharu Ishimoto on his new secret project? That should be enough of a giveaway.

I so want TWEWY sequel!! I so want to learn more about those characters and everything else.

SE probably has much rights to the characters as Disney does, and even if Disney would have to approve something like that it probably isn't all that hard to fax something to whoever deals with Kingdom Hearts at Disney and get an approval.

Honestly waiting might end up being a good thing. I'd rather an announcement later on and near completion/completed than an announcement now and not even ready to come out.



It's what Sign said. They hired a new vocal artist for a "secret project" using TWEWY as the basis of their audition, are doing a lot of sudden TWEWY related things like the GREE game "Live Remix", the iOS port "Solo Remix", introducing Coco, TWEWY concerts, the additional secret bit in Solo Remix. You be the judge. c:



Continue hoping!



Not to mention the entire audition was very TWEWY focused, and then the soundcloud Ishimoto opened is nothing but TWEWY songs with a splattering of new stuff with a definite TWEWY vibe.

This is just me throwing a random theory out there, but the timing of this album's release could be implying something. I mean, think about it:

1- E3 is going on yet again this year June 11-13.
2- Along with other major developers, Square Enix will also be there with their own fair share of announcements
3- 3 days later after said announcement, a TWEWY album appears

Considering these facts, I'm willing to guess that an announced sequel will show it's face at the conference. If so, then it makes sense to release a TWEWY album a few days later (probably be on iTunes in NA I'm willing to bet, as well as widely available throughout Japan) while the hype for a future game is sky-high. Plus, there's just enough space between the 11-13 and the 16th for potential hype to build as more and more people tune into E3 after the fact to find about what's been announced.

Now by all means, this is not a certainty; Square Enix HAS let us down before, and I could be reading into it much. Perhaps this IS just some random release date. However, as the release of TWEWY: Solo Remix - the first major development (cameos aside) in TWEWY for years- was closely followed by the Crossover OST, then perhaps this is the case. Anyways, just my two-cents on the matter; feel free to take it or leave it.

While I definitely think TWEWY 2 will happen eventually, I can't see it being announced at E3 this year. Though with Solo Remix they definitely did revitalize interest in the series which is always good (plus the inclusion in DDD was another big helper), I can't see the announcment really being hinted at because of a soundtrack. IDK why, I just feel like they might have dropped more hints to it if they plan on announcing it in June. Perhaps they will, but I'm honestly torn because there are too many good games coming out soon, if TWEWY 2 came out, I'd have to put a bunch on hold O_o

Fair point. All the same, I'll remain cautiously about a potential release; finding a correlation between TWEWY 2 and a TWEWY album is, I'll admit, a bit of a stretch at best, but even the possibility of a sequel being announced gives me something to look forward to at E3 :) And besides, at least we'll still have sweet new tunes however this turns out :)

Oh, and on a side note, I'm HOPING that Live Remix will somehow make its way over here, but would I be correct in assuming that is unlikely to be the case?

I would also be cautious about Live Remix coming over but I wouldn't count it out. I mean, Solo remix introduce people who have phones to the story of TWEWY and Live Remix is a social game, which are quite popular nowadays. However, I don't know how well Solo Remix did in sales to determine if SE would even consider it. They do a lot of social games in Japan that never come over here (KH Mobile is a good one).

Live Remix is F2P. No sales. Profit is generated by the amount of users who use it and how often. I think it is fairly successful considering there hasn't been anything that has said otherwise. It clearly hasn't broken 1 million users, though. We would have heard about that.

We got Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade so we could easily get this if SE feels it is worth it.

Huh... that's interesting; I didn't know that about F2P. Well, you learn something new everyday.

But back on topic however, you have pretty much confirmed what I already had thought; namely, that there's no telling what will happen with TWEWY Live Remix in the future. *sighs* Ah well, I appreciate your reply anyway; thank you. :)

In any case, at least the fact that this album is coming out means that, though we are lacking both LR and a proper sequel, the franchise still has potential as far as SE is concerned. If they thought otherwise, they wouldn't be bothering to release another series album.... probably. I can't claim to know or even be able to guess all the internal logic that goes on within big name companies, so I could be mistaken. :p

(Er, I meant Live Remix btw xD)

Please look forward to, so enter Remix various live recordings and new songs such as, for the last time.

Unless I am reading this wrong, this album will be the very last time they Remix those songs.... and then surely they will move on to... something different....

BTW you can watch the some of the music for the album being recorded here!

Thank god. So tired of listening to them, no matter how good.

Hopefully this is a sign of what's to come (announcement soon plox!)

I second this :) I mean, I love TWEWY's music and I have no doubt that I'll enjoy this upcoming album, but 4 albums just for covering and remixing the music from one game feels a bit like overkill. :p

Yeah, I love Takeharu Ishimoto and his music (I swear I listen to the Type-0, TWEWY, CC, BC, and Dissidia OSTs everyday) but we all need a break. New songs [strike]for a new game[/strike] please

New song has been added to the website! "March On" Karaoke~ (Somehow it makes me nostalgic of TWEWY and Type-0 and I didn't even know that was possible)

If it's reminiscent of Type-0, it's got to be worth a listen!

Why am I at work right now? ;A;

it feel like the inclusion of Tweny in 3d was just a chance to put back some shine on the game to fans and newbies so they could better sell there remake and soundtracks.....
whas the news on the possible sequel

There has been none. The most we get is from Ishimoto teasing inside the recording studio and posting about rather suspicious topics on his blog.

He's been talking about specific bilingual artists lately...

?????????? Crossover ? Tribute | SQUARE ENIX

Hey guys, look what updated! :D There's two new songs on there, plus new artwork~
