Why square just,...why?

Because they want money? Maybe they're just buying time until TWEWY2.

Is this new or a another port?

little bit of both. It features music from TWEWY solo remix, and follows the story line of TWEWY, but this time social style. I'm not sure how battles are gonna look like though.

Seems interesting, and it will be on Android phones as well (in Japan). Which means there's hope for an Android port for TWEWY solo remix.

Square is own for releasing the same game numerous times.

In “Reinforced Synthesis”, you can increase the level of your pin by combining it with another pin. In “Evolution Synthesis”, you can increase the level cap by synthesizing the same badges. Your strength will change accordingly to the badges you equip and this is primarily how you will progress through the game.
