It's a rather peculiar time for The World Ends With You community right now. The game's 7th anniversary is approaching in just a few days, the 7th album including music from the series is set to release in September, and Square Enix's store and cafe is currently hosting a campaign revolving around it. A lot is happening in just a short period of time, but is that really all there is?
Apparently not. A special event was just announced today via the third episode of Square Enix's mdRadio, called "Subarashiki Kono Sekai Preview Night" which will be held on August 7th at ARTNIA. Lucky fans who obtain a ticket to the preview night will be able to buy TWEWY merchandise, watch an episode of mdRadio be recorded live, and try out food samples from ARTNIA's special TWEWY menu as well as Nomu-tetsu Special dishes based on the food Tetsuya Nomura eats often (Nomura warns that the food from his special menu isn't very "trendy", but we are all certain it'll still be delicious!)
Fans will also have the chance to get autographs from special guests including Tetsuya Nomura (character designer), Tatsuya Kando (director) and Ichiro Hazama (producer), check out an original art exhibit for the game before the pieces are auctioned of on the 8th, and everybody who attends will leave the event with a special souvenir to commemorate the event!
To gain admission, you must submit a Direct Message to the merchandise division's official Twitter account (@ SQEX_MD_GOODS) with "個人情報は記載しないでください" or "Applying for TWEWY Preview Night". The preview night begins at 5pm and ends at 10pm and only individuals 18 or older are allowed to attend (photo identification required).

I don't trust these three at all. I know they're up to something.
Just what are you up to TWEWY people? *stares intensely*
I wonder what the Nomu-tetsu Special dishes will be. I'm figuring it's some good ol' comfort food.
Hmmm... Tetsuya Nomura....plus The World Ends with You...equals.....Sea-salt ice cream ramen? (That actually sounds pretty good.)
This is more TWEWY than all of the TWEWY we've gotten in ages.
Comfort foods for Nomura's fav dishes would be nice. ARTNIA doesn't have too many of those.
I don't even want to say anything. I don't want to be disappointed, but they know what they're doing to me.
I bet at least one of these Nomu-tetsu specials has egg in it.
If there is no TWEWY2 announcement, then these bitches need a slap.
twewy 2 confirmed omg (square you're not even subtle lololol)
But seriously, this is really awesome! :D I wonder what shiny merchandise they'll have... or if they're going to announce something beforehand or if they're going to announce it at TGS >.>;
I don't even care about a potential big announcement.
I'm just mad that I don't live in Japan because holy hell this event sounds sooooo nice.

Beat me to it. They need to stop teasing us at this point if nothing is gonna come from this.
I find it suspicious that they revived mdRadio just to talk about going to SDCC and this TWEWY event.
The last time mdRadio happened they talked about eggs (and ate ARTNIA eggs), Jurassic Park, and "I hope to be able to talk about Versus but I can't say anything about it" then a few days later FFXV was revealed.
I almost wanna say we're in some strange limbo, here...
If they don't announce a sequel here, I don't know what they're doing. What exactly would everyone be previewing anyways if it's not the sequel?

Yeah! 7 years since the game came out and NOW we're celebrating? Somethin's up...
And I like what we're all thinkin!
Here's hoping for more zetta awesome Phones action!

We've actually celebrated the anniversary of the series since the 5th anniversary, but both were celebrated with concerts, but nothing to this extreme.
Nomura, Kando, and Hazama in the same room is highly suspicious because they rarely do anything like this without purpose.

If not, we're all to be Erased!

It's on Urban Dictionary, so therefore it's legit. They need to catch up on trendy verbiage. Jeez. So zetta slow. [SIZE=2];p[/SIZE]
I'll make NOISE until TWEWY2 arrives! >O
Totally not up to anything suspicious by hosting a music video contest, huh Ishimoto?

WHAT ARE THEY EVEN PLANNING. I need something to happen or I'm done with SE.
Imagine like a fully 3-d open world with the characters on the Wii U using the touch pad like the bottom screen on the DS. We've already seen the characters in 3-d so it wouldn't be too jarring. I can imagine that would pull Wii U's off the shelf
My pipe dream would be for it to be on the Vita, but in all likelihood, 3DS has the highest chance, especially if SE reaches out to Jupiter again as they specialize in games for handheld consoles.

I really REALLY hope nothing happens for the Vita because I love TWEWY, but I wouldn't buy a Vita just for it so I'd be out of luck >_< I wouldn't mind Wii U or 3DS, though TWEWY's comic art in 3D would look amazing!
The chances of it being on the Vita are probably even less than they would be on the Wii U, much to my dismay, haha. It's not nearly as successful to be worthwhile. Rather than a console on its own, it's treated more as an extension of the PS4 or the indie/port machine.
Everyone always goes on about how SE could have released X or Y on the Vita to sell consoles, but they're not going to take such an enormous risk.
i hope they do announce a sequel. to me it wasnt enough. i wanted more. its been out since 2008 and there has to be a sequel. i also loved it when they put neku and the gang in kingdom hearts dream drop distance. great confrontation with the whole thing. :)

i see what you mean sign. would it be awesome if they did put it on vita where you could bring it around with you? or also 3ds? heck yeah it would. but like you said as well "it might not be as successful to be worthwhile." i dont think it'll get a console of its own either. but i dont think it'll be an indie port either. i have a feeling if they were to make a sequel or remake it again. because remember they had it on ios and it wasnt an indie port. i loved it on ios but it felt different and weird. i like different and weird but it was kinda hard for me to get used to it. so i stuck with the ds version. :) what else do you think about it Sign?

Uh, maybe I wasn't being clear, but I was referring to indie games or ports. Not an indie port. There's a slash in between lol
TWEWY has already been remade for iOS and then ported to Android. It's also not an indie game.

oh lol im sorry for the misunderstanding. but yeah what do you think would be the right system for the game if there was a sequel? i think 3ds. i would like to see the graphics on it and how they would go about it. :)
3DS, as I've said in another post a little higher up :D
It's the perfect system~
i agree with you 100% :) it would look great. and i think you agree lol.
The 3DS would be the most likely as well, I think. I'd love to see the crafty ways they could make dialogue pop out on the top screen~
Or just voice acting.
I wonder just what it is they're scheming...I guess it can only be good!

yeah i hope they dont go off topic with it. i would love to see like you said just exactly what they are scheming
Thats an awesome event to go to. If you're a big KH fan, you can get an autograph from Nomura(who is God), Kando, and Hazama. Its unfortunate that i done live in Japan because I would have liked to go to this event.

Less than 24 hours to go. Don't let us down, SE!

Oh yeah! How could I forget; it's in the diddlying subtitle!
Now I'm really excited! I've got a face like the cartoon Grinch when he had that "wonderful, horrible AWFUL idea!"
}:3
Believe in the "New 7 Days" and if nothing happens, I hope the police raid Square Enix offices again *sob* (not really, but it does have potential to be a funny meme)

I can't be hurt again.
Not sure if I should be excited or not, since I don't want to set myself up for disappointment xD;; but i want a sequel so bad omg ;____; pls square i believe in youuuuuu
I have my caffeine ready for a KHI-style all nighter 8D
1AM Pacific Time. I suppose going to bed early to wake up in the morning would probably be prudent...
5 hour long event...
We can only hope, if there is an announcement, that it'll be made closer to the beginning than the end.
I can't imagine they'd hold off to the end. Most people don't stick around for those things for all 5 hours. I just need the most important stuff to be done by 3am...
Images are starting to surface. We're not sure if this will be as big as we hope, so we'll be posting updates in here for the time being.

I never realized how much Neku looks like Sora without his headphones on, LOL!
EDIT: And holy crap, I didn't even realize that Shiki was in the first picture! Nice that we get glimpse of her entire face this time (sort of)!
There is a lot of silence (besides Nomura observing and drinking Twister Soda) because the people in attendance were sworn to secrecy and were not allowed to record or video tape or tweet anything about the mdRADIO they were recording.
I know nobody asked but I felt like explaining it. It's 3am. WE ARE TIRED. SOB.
So, something could have been announced but they're not allowed to say anything? Uuuugh. The world ends with me waitin for a damn sequel.
i am so fucking tired right now

If we ever get a sequel, Shiki's face will always be covered by a word balloon.
Btw Nomura drew that casual Neku this morning or something xD
SOMEONE LEAK WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE
AHHH
SOMEONE LEAK WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE
AHHH
its 12 am now. Hidemi said thanks to the people there on twitter and they were all happy for a fun night

I shall call him V-Neku.
*nostril flare and heavy breathing*

No one knows how to hurt me quite like Square Enix does.
I've never wanted someone to slip up with information so badly! X'D
They're like a bunch of clams or ants; holding on greedily until they just CAN'T anymore!
Such tense anticipation X3
But...is that ALL that happened?
EDIT: I wants more new stuff T~T
its 12 am now. Hidemi said thanks to the people there on twitter and they were all happy for a fun night
;____; thanks square //cries forever
Welp, there's still TGS, so maybe they'll show something there? I dunno why I keep staying optimistic, but they must've said something important! <.<;;

I mean, yeah, I guess I should have known better that we weren't gonna get any news about anything, but, I mean, a party, for TWEWY, ya know?
But I'll stay optimistic.
Um...okay...thanks, Square Enix. ;_;

Yeah, there's still a chance. We don't know what exactly went down during that hour of silence when they were sworn to secrecy.
It was so eerie. One minute they were all hyped up about mdRADIO, talking about Nomura's interesting outfit, then in came the "Nobody is allowed to photograph, record, or talk about what is going on during mdRADIO, especially content that will be cut & edited"
Then for an hour it was just...silence then all of a sudden everybody started talking about Twister Soda. Then Twister Pasta. Then Twister Beer. Then how they were giving unlimited beer. Then Nomutetsu specials (which actually looked good because it wasn't named Twister)
That's really odd. Why make something like this common knowledge but keep an hour of it from the world? Publicity?
Hype I guess, they'll be releasing the show and stuff right? So they'll just wait for everyone to hear it I guess.
