HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted February 1, 2012 The easiest way to level up your pins is that, due to a sleep points feature, the pin's you've equipped Neku with will gain points towards leveling up for the amount of time you've gone without playing the game. The amount of points you get per day goes down for every subsequent day you haven't played. Therefore spending any more than three days in a row without playing the game doesn't give you enough points to really be worth anything. Here's the cheating part. You can put on some pins you want to level up, then save the game. After saving the game you can turn off the ds, then turn it back on, set the clock to three days later, then turn on TWEWY, get the experience, repeat. When you want to level other pins, just put them on instead. You can eventually reset the calendar to the correct date with no harm done. It's super cheating! As for battle strategies, I wouldn't worry about controlling the character on the top screen until you've gotten a real good grasp on how to control Neku on the bottom screen. Also, try out all sorts of new psychs you get for Neku! You never know which ones you'll like. I agree with one of the first posts, try to have your characters "eat" as much as possible, as that's one of the only ways to permanently increase their stats. Keep one of everything you ever buy, and try to buy everything you can, because at some point you may need something or another to progress in the story or use to make a quest item. That includes clothes, food, ingredients, pins, everything. Okay, now it's gushing time. The game is honestly one of my favorites, especially for the Nintendo DS. The art style is original and modern, the character models are nice and their personalities are well developed, the voice acting, though sparse, is top notch, on and on and on. The game was so involving that when it appeared as though something horrible was going to happen within the second day of the game I actually temporarily lost sight of the fact that the game couldn't honestly be over yet, and was simply freaking out. The story is incredibly original in my opinion. How often do you play a game in which everyone is dead and fighting for the right to come back to life. There's mystery, double crossing, triple crossing, false double crossing, anger, hate, love, compassion, mutual distrust, and other things, and that's just between the five main characters. Don't get me started on the side characters. The game is simply massive. Many people like the sound track, others don't. That's a matter of opinion. Top things to remember: In battle and with the right pins, Neku can do basically anything you can imagine. Shiki is a stalker, but she's also not Shiki, and Neku ends up liking the real Shiki (the extent to which he likes her is commonly debated). Mr. H is as fly as a white guy is physically capable of getting. If you watch Bleach, he's like Kisuke Urahara, but more awesome (yes, I said it) Joshua is, in fact, Shibuya's "god" and isn't dead, though he's playing in the Reaper's Game, which is only for dead people. Also, he is almost certainly gay. Rhyme is the essence of awesomeness in a tiny little form. Beat had a connection to Rhyme even before the game. All other things you will have to find out for yourself. Wow thanks for such a detailed response and great advice..Duly noted..I will have to update everyone on everything after i play 2 Robbie the Wise and Not-with-a-whimper reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kello 310 Posted February 1, 2012 I wanna play this game but I don't have money D: My boyfriend said that this game is awesome and music the best! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidror 18 Posted February 1, 2012 It really is an awesome game. Use your partner on the d-pad or a,x,y,b thingy not on auto once you learn to fight as yourself and your partner at the same time you can do really well. Theres 3 weeks of proper game after you beat you get Another Day which is interesting... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nermal 12 Posted February 3, 2012 You can beat first 7 days with basic pins...But 2nd week is pretty hard, maybe hardest art of the game....I would suggest to just feed only neku because you will change partners often.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
