for all you WEWY fans....

I thought youd like to see the real life counterparts of some of the locales used in the game....(I got this from a gamefaqs thread)


Here's Moyai:

and Hachiko:

The phonebooth of love! (In front of Parco, AKA. Malco):

O-East!:

and of course Po...I mean, Mark City:

An underpass that's easy to get run over in:

Dogenzaka:

Um..."Towa" records:

"CAT"'s graffiti'd wall:

The park overpass, with the back of Tower records. I even got in a train as it was passing!:

A cafe in Cat Street:

There's a lot of inaccuracies too though...

Cat street looks almost nothing like in the game:

The park underpass would be a pretty claustrophobic place to get stuck inside:

Udogawa is far prettier in real life (warning, picture may contain a naughty word):

I don't know how many of the differences are for the sake of simplification and stylisation, and whether any of them are actual mistakes...

One of the shops in Dogenzaka. Guess the Ramen guy went upmarket:

"What? I'm back at the crosswalk again?":

Shiba-Q Heads. See, instead of To-kyu, it's Shiba-kyu and instead of...oh, never mind:

Po...Mark City. In reality, it has over twenty floors. Count yourself lucky:

The back of the Moyai (yeah, it has a back):

Cadoi City (in reality, Marui City AKA. OI City):

The staircase at the bottom left of the Moyai/bus stop screen:

The store close to Hachiko (Tokyu=Shibakyu, gettit?):

You do know this is because it's because it's really Shibuya in the game, don't you? And the map in the game is almost identical. You can practically use it in place of a real map.

 

Yeah I know, I just thought maybe some people would like to see the real versions... I know I thought it was kinda cool to see...

 

I thought you said it was what inspired the world of WEWY. Never mind then. ^^'

 

heeeeey those are cool, thanks for the pics ^_^
