Most noted from the latest footage of the game is that NEO: The World Ends with You features the musical composition of Takeharu Ishimoto, the original composer for the 2007 title. Even more, the “noise” is shared to be a large influence on how the game is affected gameplay wise, as per Square Enix Public Relations Manager Adam Pelc..

“As you and your band of allies explore Shibuya and compete in the Reaper’s Game, you’ll be fighting against the Noise in battle. Rindo can visualize these enemies through scanning, one of the fundamental psych abilities available in the game. Scanning also reveals what the people of Shibuya have on their minds. You might stumble upon some important pieces of information, so be sure to scan often.”
