Square Enix is teasing a new title featuring character designs from Tetsuya Nomura and Gen Kobayashi.

Here's the official website. Aside from the "Subaseka" name that might indicate the Japanese title of TWEWY, that teaser page also has a similar style. Is this finally a sequel to the critically acclaimed DS RPG? I hope it is, and we'll know in six days, apparently.

Also, the music on the website apparently sounds like TWEWY music (though I can't get it to work on any browser I try it on).

I have nothing more to say than I love the phrase, "TWEWY".

fuuuuck I really hope it is

I wouldn't say it sounds like TWEWY music, though i don't remember it too well, but out of the SE franchises, yeah, it sounds most like TWEWY. Awesome, i loved that game. Though...this means i might have to get a 3DS? Damn.

I am so ridiculously excited, words can't even describe. Digging the music, the intro sounds great, like a new combat theme or for the intro movie?

From this NeoGAF post:

I just discovered something amazing.

Change the date on your computer's calendar. Each day has different music. On Thursday, a version of Calling plays.

IT'S TWEWY!!

EDIT: There's no music for the days after Thursday. Whatever. Calling is all I needed to hear for confirmation.

I can't get the site to work on my end (seems to be a similar problem for many), but that's pretty much a confirmation. Now, hopefully it doesn't end up as a social game or some other kind of shit.

Could be cool. Just as long as it doesn't involve the same characters. That would be dumb.

Yes yes yes yes yes! Always down for some MOAR TWEWY! Finished the original a few times and will probably do the same for the sequel

oh man this could be great

Twewy intwesting...

I never finished TWEWY, I plan to one day, but from what I may know wouldn't Joshua returning make some sense?

Someone ripped the site's "Calling" remix: http://www.sendspace.com/file/g77mel

This is happening.

Actually, you don't even have to download that. Go on this website: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/subaseka/images/NCQKL/sound_7days.mp3

And replace the "7days.mp3" part with "6days.mp3", which is where the music starts. "3days.mp3" is the "Calling" remix.

Yes having Joshua back would make sense but the rest not so much.

The site doesn't appear to be rendering for me properly. All I see is the countdown clock. There's no day count or background.

Welp, I'm buying the hell out of this if it's real.

EDIT: After listening to that music, that HAS to be real.

Please don't be for a console I don't own. Actually, it probably will be.

I do however demand they bring back "Deja Vu." That shit is my jam!

You mean they're not using a server-side clock? Strange.

@Video_Game_King: They probably figured that people would end up finding the file links anyway, which they did.

I'd be shocked if this is for anything other than the 3DS.

@Hailinel: Well, then I guess I'll finally man up and buy one. TWEWY 2 would be the first game I'd actually want for the system.

What browser are you guys viewing the site in? I've tried Firefox and IE and it's not rendering properly in either. No background or day count, and no music.

@Hailinel: I've tried Chrome, Firefox and IE, but everything's still messed up. Someone's stated that it's because they didn't create a "day 7" gif for the animation, which means that the site should work properly for people in the EDT time zone in about 7 minutes.

Also:

I got to the last week of the game and didn't keep going. Don't know why. Should I just watch the cutscenes at this point? Also, someone spoiled it for me by revealing that Joshua becomes the composer, so damn.

If you just want to get through it, crank the difficulty down and keep your level up, then just blitz to the end. A lot of crazy shit happens in the last week.

Well...

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

he doesn't really become the composer.

Wait...

FUUUUCK SPOILED AGAIN!

I guess I shouldn't have clicked the big red/pinkish button.

Oh man! if this is for the 3DS then it's the game that's gonna make me buy one for sure I would've preferred a console game, put that Final Fantasy XIII tech to use Square! how come they haven't thought of a Dissidia game using that engine? I guess TWEWY will remain as a Nintendo handheld series we'll have to wait and see but I'm excited for anything as long it retains the style of the first game wich is probably my favorite game on the DS close to Mario Kart and 999

Psyched!

Of course this is the japanese reveal, so we won't get this in english for at least a year.

Same here. I'm getting a broken image.

I noticed something about the music while fiddling with the links to the sound. The 6 days music is just the intro and a drum beat, the 5 days music adds the Calling music, the 4 days music adds some instrumentation from Twister, and the 3 days music adds the vocals from Calling in. That's an interesting way to do things!

I'm using Chrome, but it didn't work until I moved the time a day ahead. You might try that.

The passage of time until the U.S. release is going to feel SO ZETTA SLOW!!!

My body has never been more ready. Now come on Nintendo how could you have not gotten SE to announce this at E3? I am more hyped about this then I can ever be hyped about a full true KH3. Which back in '05 would have been impossible. At least someone at SE is still sane.

Enjoy you filthy peasants!

More (3)DS multitasking nonsense? Fuck yeah! Give me the fucking CE for $150 with some crazy stylish headphones.

Also just making sure, we're all reading that as "twee-wee" in our heads right?

FUCKING BRING IT

God dammit, I guess I have to buy a 3DS now.

@StarvingGamer said:

Naturally.

It took me a lot of time to finish this game. I took a lot of long breaks but at least I finished it, and that's more than I can say about the majority of RPGs I've played.

Now, I was never one to think that TWEWY needed a sequel, but I have to admit hearing "Calling" got me pumped. That game deserves big props for a lot of cool things it did, like have more than 1 battle theme, let you choose your random encounters, balance difficulty with risk and reward etc.

Well, shit. I should finally finish it, huh. Game gets hard trying to get better drops, which coupled with needing a guide open to know how pins evolve, stopped me from it.

All this is just gonna lead to me doing a full run through of TWEWY again. Also this Calling remix is amazing.

@NegativeCero: Why wouldn't you just lower the difficulty then? Better drops are really only needed for the more complex stuff, which comes from the New Game+ content.

@StarvingGamer said:

I always thought of it more like "tweh-wee".

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

TWEWY was incredible and it's my favourite RPG and while I think it stands alone, I'd love to play a sequel. Bring it!

I read it as twoo-wee.

Also,

Wake up! Time for us to realize.

I honestly have no idea. It's been so long since I've played it. I would assume that I just wanted to have the best loot even though it wasn't exactly that game. Never knew it had NG+ though. I may finish it, then start NG+ up to the point I left off to remember what happene.

The New Game Plus is kind of odd. Basically, it's an alternate universe story that's much more comical and messes around with the characters more for fun than anything else.

If I remember right, that only came after you collected the notes (or whatever they were) that can only be obtained during new game plus. Had to fulfill certain conditions -- though they weren't very difficult, as I recall.

Oh mah gosh I can't waaaaaait.

Yeesh, should've just read this first. Everything was figured out already. 
 
That Twister and Calling mashup is amazing.

Same.

This is great news, TWEWY is one of the most addicting and unique rpgs I've had the pleasure of playing.
