NEO The World Ends With Yous Shibuya Rivals Persona 5s

One of the most alluring aspects of Persona 5 is the sprawling, detailed version of Tokyo players explore as the game unfolds, though Shibuya is the only area shared between it and NEO: The World Ends With You. Tokyo’s subway system slowly sprawls and unfurls, but there are four areas where players can freely roam the streets: Shinjuku, Kichijouji, Yongen-Jaya (which is a fictional location), and Shibuya. Shibuya in particular is rendered with astonishing detail, complete with its labyrinthine train station. But NEO: The World Ends With You’s depiction of Shibuya may rival Persona 5’s.

NEO: The World Ends With You is a long-awaited semi-sequel to The World Ends With You, a JPRG released by Square Enix in 2007. The game shares its team with Kingdom Hearts, but it has still retained its own following, and there’s even a new The World Ends With You anime series that debuted earlier this year. Where Persona 5 allows players to explore the entirety of Tokyo, including even a stand-in for Tokyo Disneyland called “Destinyland,” The World Ends With You games take place entirely within Shibuya.

Both NEO: The World Ends With You and Persona 5 show Shibuya so much attention because it’s one of Tokyo’s biggest commercial centers, and arguably its most iconic. The city’s website lovingly describes it as “the frenetic and scrambling center of modern Japanese culture.” Shibuya’s Scramble Crossing, a gigantic crosswalk, is one of the most recognizable sights of Tokyo and has been featured in films like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Shibuya’s cultural importance and real-life sprawling nature makes it a perfect playground for a video game.

How NEO: The World Ends With You Lets Players Dive Into Shibuya

Because Persona 5 deals with Tokyo as a whole, its version of Shibuya is limited to the train station, its underground mail, the square outside the station, and Central Street. “Central Street” is based on Center-Gai, which is the “central hub for youth culture in Tokyo.” However, according to a gameplay preview released by Eurogamer, NEO: The World Ends With You’s Shibuya has a lot more packed into its boundaries. Players can cut through back allies, venture into the foyers of skyscrapers, and discover whole slews of new side streets. NEO: The World Ends With You’s combat can even take place in the middle of the famous Shibuya Crossing.

Both Persona 5 and NEO: The World Ends With You celebrate Tokyo’s culture: the fashion, the food, and the shops. But NEO: The World Ends With You digs more specifically into Shibuya’s subcultures and into the unravelling nature of Shibuya itself. If Persona 5 gives an explorable, open vibe to Tokyo, NEO: The World Ends With You brings that vibe to Shibuya specifically. For players who enjoyed exploring modern-day Tokyo in Persona 5, this too is likely something they won’t want to miss.
