Topic: FF Theatrhythm

Yes but it's not much. According to Wiki:

The game follows the events of the gods Chaos and Cosmos, a similar plot to Dissidia Final Fantasy for the PlayStation Portable. The space between the two is called Rhythm, which gives birth to a crystal that controls music. Chaos causes the crystal to become disrupted, and the only way to return it to normal is to increase a music wave known as "Rhythpo". As such, various characters from the Final Fantasy universe are brought together in order to harness the power of Rhytpo.

So, I started playing the Dark Note section last night after finishing the "main" sequence section, and I was very happy indeed to find the Chocobo theme song was in there.

Yay Chocobo!

LOL. I can hear that theme in my head right now. Thanks for that post!

@LollipopChoSaw Yeah, I was wondering where that theme was up till that point.
It seems to pop up quite a lot during the Dark Notes.

I'm leaving to go to a Mario Tennis Open tournament in a minute, so while I'm there I'm going to see if I can find someone to test the Multi Play with.

If I'm lucky I could get some StreetPass too, but I'm not expecting to considering the game isn't meant to be out until tomorrow and you actually have to play for a few hours before the StreetPass feature even gets unlocked.

As it should. It is the happiest tune ever put in a videogame.

Not even a slight exaggeration there, either. I love that song.

Off-topic, but I wonder if we've ever streetpassed.

aaaahhhhhhh i just picked up this game tonight — i'd totally forgotten it hit today, thanks to lz for reminding me D: but i just flipped through the booklet, and i can't wait to fire it up after dinner :3

So I'm guessing if I don't like Final Fantasy (or rather haven't played a single game in the series) and hate the art style I won't like the game? What if I can enjoy good VGM no matter the series. Would I get some enjoyment out of it then at a cheaper price?

@Retro_on_theGo - Well, Theatrhythm probably won't do as much for you as it would a series fan since nostalgia plays a large part in its appeal (forget the actual stages, some of the songs from the menu screens triggered some pretty strong Final Fantasy memories for me), but it's a fun rhythm game in its own right and the series has always had some of the best VGM in the business. I think you can enjoy it based on those merits, although I probably wouldn't recommend it at full asking price for a non-FF fan.

People are saying the DLC is up now! Go buy!

Update: Yay! Ride On is mine!

yeah this is clearly a fanservice game. But not in that shameful and uncreative FFX-2 sort of way.

It's a very nice selection (Cosmo Canyon, The Final Battle and A Fleeting Dream are my favorites from this initial group), but I think I'll wait until there's a wider variety of songs available (nothing from VI or IX yet!?) and until I've put a lot more time into Theatrhythm before I start considering DLC.

I haven't played any Final Fantasies, but I'm getting it. Why? You don't need to be a fan of the series to know that music is BEAUTIFUL.

I'm going to download something just because this is monumental for the 3ds here!! Now which one will I choose?

I think I might pick this up towards the end of the month if I can convince my Grandma to lend me a bit of cash, because I already have money down on Kingdom Hearts. Still keep the impressions coming I need more info!!

Why can't we have the demo for NA?

I had way to much fun with this game tonight. Simple yet hard at times. Loving the music and all the stuff to unlock! Definitely a Final Fantasy fans dream!!

Didn't get any StreetPass for this game today (not surprised considering it's not officially out yet) and wasn't able to find anyone to test the multiplayer with.
Well, there was one guy, but he has the Japanese version and it seems that local multiplayer is locked to the region for this game (some 3DS games it is and others it isn't).

Oh well, still got myself a small trophy and a couple of free games today so I can't complain.

Not unless you spend a lot of time in Melbourne.

played this a little bit last night... Series mode is a little boring (idk, it's a bit slow for someone who's very experienced with rhythm games IMO), but I love love love the Chaos Shrine, and Challenge mode is great too :3 and i love love love love looooove leveling up my little doods (Bartz, Onion Knight, Cecil, and Cloud for me, haha — all male bonus ftw)

i'm'a check out the DLC later and see what's up with that, but for now, this is adorably fun~
