Thanks Links!
At this point only time will tell if World Ends With You has the staying power to be an A game. I was bummed that I couldn't convince Duke to keep the grade, but the more sobering thought is that the game is so weird, obscure and hardcore, that I can't imagine people talking about it in The Future. Even with the first print run selling out!
On the bright side, I've been finding some great unlockable items even this late into the game; I'm digging into the bonus missions and there's still a ton of cool stuff to chase. What a cool game!
