I was right!
The World Ends with You = It's a Wonderful World
WHOO!
EDIT: Kinda late I guess... But anyways, it dosen't seem like it's gonna be that butchered.
"London (5th December 2007) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU™, an exciting new title from the makers of KINGDOM HEARTS, will be released exclusively on the Nintendo DS™ handheld system across all PAL territories in spring 2008.
Previously known as Subarashiki Kono Sekai™ on its release in Japan. THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is an innovative new title from Square Enix that fully utilizes the capabilities of the Nintendo DS, and takes major influence from Japan’s modern day culture including its people, music, clothes, food and design.
Set in Tokyo’s trendiest district, the story begins with the lead character Neku waking up to find a phone message stating he has only 7 days before he will cease to exist. Only with the coolest fashions, friends and fighting skills can Neku restore hope to the city’s population and prevent being stricken from existence altogether!
John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “Square Enix has traditionally been associated with RPG’s set in fantasy lands, but THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is our first ever game to be set in modern times and real-life locations. The use of the Nintendo DS functionality is second to none. We believe gamers of all ages and abilities will be able to enjoy all that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU has to offer.”

Story
The story begins as our hero, Neku, wakes up amidst the hustle and bustle of Shibuya, Tokyo.

Even if it only mentions Europe, if the title changes in the next Nintendo Power, then I guess it could be a best guess to say i would come to America as well. (But still nothing in the Latest, aside from it being listed under the original title with TBA after it.)
Double Edit: Actually strike my last statement, Square Enix has no idea how to describe games. But it seems they are still having the plot at least somewhat normalish.
" Meet an
achingly hip cast of characters each with an interesting personality and stylish sense in fashion, music and culture" IT HURTS IT HURTS!
