Oh this was an absolute blast from the past. Glad I got to officially add it to my collection somewhere.
Getting the secret ending was harder than expected, lol. I was convinced that I kept clicking past it, looking up how to get it on the wiki, and went through it like 4-5 times only to discover I was locked into the bad route the whole time, lol. Because I decided to take a certain picture. Note for the future: fuck Bernard.
Also: a sequel to the World Ends With You was indeed willed into existence, therefore ending is canon to the universe. It has been done. All is right with the world.
Edit, making not of my avatar: I nearly lost my shit at the reference to Garry. We are all stuck in 2012 gaming.
