(...fuck, now it seems like I have a reason to buy a 3DS. I think.)



"Square Enix has a new Final Fantasy game on the way for 3DS, but it's not quite the RPG we're used to. The new game is titled Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Yes, this is that Final Fantasy themed rhythm game we've all been waiting for.

Revealed in this week's Jump, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a "Theater Rhythm Action" game. The game has field scenes set in dungeons and towns, and battle scenes that resemble the side-view battles of older Final Fantasy games. However, everything is played like a rhythm game, where you tap the screen in accordance with prompts.

Needless to say, the game's music is pulled from past Final Fantasy games. Characters, including the likes of Lightning and Cloud, are also in the game, only they're shown in cute "chibi" style form.

There seems to be somewhat of a story to the game. Jump says that the classic Final Fantasy characters are fighting to return light to the crystal.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is currently without a final release date."

So, this is the 3DS Final Fantasy game eh? A cute lil spinoff~ err lol I forgot to edit out aqua's line right here

Ah, yes. I was reading up about this on BemaniStyle.

I'm definitely gonna get this when it comes out. I needed another reason to get a JP 3DS

With games like 3nd Impact and Theatrhythm, Portable rhythm gaming is gonna be in this season

Gonna pull out some money to get myself a 3DS first... that is, if the games I expect to come out actually get announced.

Seems like it has some potential to be fun. Those screenshots don't give me a lot of hope for well-designed rhythm gameplay, but I'll wait for at least a video before I pass judgment

That's not a good excuse to buy things these days (With the possible exception of the re-releases on the PSN and Virtual Console).

This game will get annoying if you keep on playing the same battle music AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN...
Still not buying a 3DS

I meant the battle music you tap to the beat to.

yeah, I know. That's what I was getting at. Mother 3 did the same thing. I'm only ~6 hours in, but it hasn't gotten boring/repetitive yet because they mix it up.

I'm actually glad they repeat the music over and over again.
It makes it more recognizable that way.

Reportedly, Theatrythm is going to have more than 50 songs, so it shouldn't be too repetitive

Man, this game looks terrible.

I keep forgetting this is a site for a rhythm game, though.

It actually seems better than I was expecting.
Although I wasn't expecting much...

That... Didn't look good to me. Seriously, they made a minigame for walking?

you couldn't possibly be more correct

I was expecting something closer to Mother 3 but with a bigger emphasis on timing and rhythm, and instead it's a touch-based rhythm game similar to osu! with final fantasy themed storyboards/videos

I can accept the art style for what it is (when there IS an art style and it's not just some FMV from the 90s) but that really looks dull as a game

It looks interesting.

This game is basically Dissidia: Music Rhythm Game Edition. Still looking forward to it. Loved the boss fight music from FF6.

So game is out. It's pretty fun, but they suck at timing.

Just mentally add 15 ms to each note, It's what I do to get perfect Crit chains.

Progress so far:

100% basic and expert series
7% ultimate series
40 dark notes cleared

Current party consists of Terra, onion knight, vaan and lightning.

I got it on the 2nd :D

Don't worry, I have been playing the hell out of it, myself. If you want a 9999999 score and anything higher than an S rank, you need to remove all abilities from every party member. No Items.

In doing so, it also removes all the Feature Drives in songs, so expect no Esper Summons in BMS, no Chocobos in FMS, and no Extended Versions in EMS.

I have 7 yellow shards and 13 trophies.... so close, but so far D:

I played this at PAX East a few months ago, it looked fun from the trailer but I was pretty disappointed with the demo (although that might also have to do with the fact that we had to wait in line for like 45 minutes to even play it...)

I'd consider getting it with a price drop eventually but it's not worth a full price tag for me sadly, even though the art style is adorable

So uh, do you know why the time bar in the dark shrine is colored? I can't figure it out and it isn't in the manual

I believe it has something to do with route progression, however that's just a suspicion.

I'm slightly confused of the sliders' timing, those circles with an arrow in it. For me a slider consists of start and end, so I don't really know if I have to start sliding at the correct time, or be in middle of the sliding motion already.

Basically, they're "end the hold note with a slide in indicated direction".

Current progress:

Unlocked Minwu, Cid, Aerith, Vivi and Ashe so far. Almost unlocked Faris and Locke, with 6/8 shards. Onion Knight, Terra, Tidus, Shantotto, Vaan, Lightning and Ashe are level 99 :3

25 trophies, 63% of the collection finished. 48719 rhythmia. This game really is a grinders dream, lol.

I'm enjoying it so far, though I'm not very good with the arrows. =S
Not very far, 10k Rhythmia in.
It is a little too "grind-ish" for my liking, but meh. Kinda hard to avoid the FFs that I'm less fond of such as 2, 3 and 12 (at least Music wise).

11 and 12 are actually my favourites, lol. I don't find popular tracks like one winged angel very fun to listen to. My opinion, it is. Don't hate meeeee

I never played 11 or 12, but just playing their songs on this game doesn't give me an interest in the music from them. Might be because I never played them, who knows.
Battle music tends to be my favourite straight out and if you wanna unlock everything, from the looks of it, you can't stick to such. =(

I never really played ANY of the final fantasy games, but this actually made me start. -.-
Field music is probably my favorite, as it's relative easy since it's just one line and not in multiple rows like battle music. Unfortunately, all songs must be played at one point or another if u wanna unlock everything. :|

That's actually a common tactic in games.
