Final Fantasy: E os Guerreiros da Musica.

Começo essa analise deixando claro o óbvio, apesar de não ter jogado do inicio ao fim varios JRPGs, acho que posso dizer que o genero é um dos meus favoritos no mundo dos games(se não for O favorito), e é claro que eu AMO a saga Final Fantasy que moldou MUITO meu eu gamer junto com outros classicos como Chrono Cross e Xenogears. Dito isso....oque falar desse jogo que reune literalmente as MELHORES musicas já feitas para video-games? Se contar com as musicas das DLCs nós temos os maiores nomes da game music envolvidos em um jogo desde o lendario Nobou Uematsu(Final Fantasy) autor da maioria das musicas do jogo até nomes como Yoko Shimomura(Front Mission, Kingdom Hearts), Yoshinori Mitsuda (Chrono Cross/Trigger e Xenogears), Kenji Ito (série Mana) e tantos outros. E por falar em musicas....o jogo conta com um numero literalmente gigantesco de musicas de Final Fantasy(e outros jogos da Square se contar com as DLCs) só no jogo base são ao todo 385 musicas de todos os Final Fantasys, desde o 1, passando por classicos da era 16 e 32 bits como Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII até jogos mais recentes como Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy VII Remake, até o mais novo Final Fantasy XVI(esse via DLC) até mesmo spin-offs como Crystal Chronicles e Type-0. E nesse mar de musicas, como não se enctar com varias delas? Como não ficar maravilhado com a Terra's Theme(Final Fantasy VI), empolgado com os temas de batalha de Final Fantasy VI, VII, X, XV, etc...., se emocionar com o tema da Aerith(Final Fantasy VI), se sentir vitorioso com os temas de vitória, apaixonado com o Theme of Love(Final Fantasy IV), sentir vontade de sair dançando com o Mambo de Chocobo(Final Fantasy V), se sentir triste ou reflexivo com o tema da Celes(Final Fantasy VI), esperançoso com Answers(Final Fantasy XIV), maravilhado com o Scars of Time(Chrono Cross), etc...
O jogo não brilha só em termos de musica, sua mecanica de gameplay que consiste em uma mistura de jogo ritmico com RPG eleva a experiencia a um outro patamar, sempre tentando tirar o melhor de nós nas musicas e nos recompensando com personagens desbloqueaveis de toda a série, magias, poções e tudo o mais que é comun de um FF. O jogo tambem é muito acessivel, possuindo varios niveis de dificuldade e modos que vão desde o Basic(facil), expert(médio), Ultimate(dificil) e Supreme(dificilimo) até modos como apertar apenas um botão(simple), apertar dois botões ao mesmo tempo(standard) e pair(que é pra jogar com outra pessoa) fazendo com que o jogo seja indicado para todos os tipos de jogadores, sejam novatos no genero até experts em jogos ritmicos.
O jogo ainda conta com um multiplayer que consiste basicamente num modo versus pra ver quem se sai melhor em determinada musica.
Uma coisa legal é o sistema de RPG do jogo, já que alem de nos preocuparmos em acertar as notas das musicas, nos precisamos ''combater'' inimigos que surgem na tela com os personagens que desbloqueamos no jogo e pra isso contamos não só com eles mas tambem com magias e um sistema de fraquezas dos inimigos, poções de cura e afins.
Aqueles que gostam de jogar jogos de cabo a rabo irão passar MUITO, mas MUITO tempo nesse jogo, visto que é preciso de muita dedicação pra masterizar as musicas nos seus niveis mais dificeis, e o jogo ainda incentiva que você sempre esteja tentando se superar nas musicas atraves de uma infinidade de colecionaveis que vão desde figurinhas dos personagens estilo chibi até artworks de cada um dos jogos da série, só de artworks são mais de 1200 pra colecionar, uma verdadeira ode a historia de Final Fantasy e aos artistas que já passaram pela série.
Enfim...esse com certeza é o melhor jogo de musica/ritmico que já joguei de longe, com certeza o mais divertido superando games como taiko no tatsujin e até o meu amado Kingdom Hearts: Melody of memories.
Se você é fã da saga Final Fantasy esse jogo e literalmente OBRIGATORIO pra você, na verdade eu diria que é obrigatorio pra todo mundo que curte uma boa musica, porque na real não há uma musica ruim nesse jogo.

Final Fantasy: And the Warriors of Music.

I begin this analysis by stating the obvious: although I haven't played through many JRPGs from start to finish, I believe I can say that the genre is one of my favorites in the gaming world (if not THE favorite), and of course, I LOVE the Final Fantasy saga, which has greatly shaped my gamer self along with other classics like Chrono Cross and Xenogears. That said... what can be said about this game that literally brings together the BEST music ever made for video games? With the addition of DLC music, we have the biggest names in game music involved in a game since the legendary Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), the author of most of the game's music, to names like Yoko Shimomura (Front Mission, Kingdom Hearts), Yoshinori Mitsuda (Chrono Cross/Trigger and Xenogears), Kenji Ito (Mana series), and many others. Speaking of music... the game features a literally gigantic number of Final Fantasy music tracks (and other Square games if you count the DLCs). In the base game alone, there are a total of 385 tracks from all Final Fantasies, from the first one, through classics of the 16 and 32-bit era like Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, to more recent games like Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and even the newest Final Fantasy XVI (this one via DLC), including spin-offs like Crystal Chronicles and Type-0. In this sea of music, how can one not be captivated by several of them? How can one not be thrilled by Terra's Theme (Final Fantasy VI), excited by the battle themes of Final Fantasy VI, VII, X, XV, etc..., moved by Aerith's Theme (Final Fantasy VII), feel victorious with the victory themes, passionate about the Theme of Love (Final Fantasy IV), feel like dancing with the Chocobo Mambo (Final Fantasy V), feel sad or reflective with Celes's Theme (Final Fantasy VI), hopeful with Answers (Final Fantasy XIV), amazed by Scars of Time (Chrono Cross), etc...

The game shines not only in terms of music; its gameplay mechanics, which consist of a mix of rhythm game and RPG, elevate the experience to another level, always trying to bring out the best in us in terms of music and rewarding us with unlockable characters from the entire series, spells, potions, and everything else that is common in an FF game. The game is also very accessible, with various difficulty levels and modes ranging from Basic (easy), Expert (medium), Ultimate (hard), and Supreme (extremely hard) to modes like pressing just one button (simple), pressing two buttons at the same time (standard), and pair (for playing with another person), making the game suitable for all types of players, from genre newcomers to experts in rhythm games.

The game also features multiplayer, which basically consists of a versus mode to see who performs better on a certain track.

A cool thing about the game's RPG system is that besides focusing on hitting the notes of the songs, we also need to "battle" enemies that appear on the screen with the characters we unlock in the game. For this, we count not only on them but also on spells and an enemy weakness system, healing potions, and the like.

Those who like to play games from start to finish will spend A LOT, but A LOT of time on this game, as it requires a lot of dedication to master the songs at their most difficult levels. The game also encourages you to always try to surpass yourself in the songs through a myriad of collectibles ranging from chibi-style character stickers to artworks from each of the games in the series. Just in artworks, there are over 1200 to collect, a true ode to the history of Final Fantasy and the artists who have contributed to the series.

In conclusion... this is definitely the best music/rhythm game I've ever played by far, certainly the most enjoyable, surpassing games like Taiko no Tatsujin and even my beloved Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memories.

If you're a fan of the Final Fantasy saga, this game is literally A MUST for you. In fact, I would say it's mandatory for anyone who enjoys good music because in reality, there is no bad music in this game.

Holy shit, thank god I wasnt playing on Playstation and getting trophies. Just to play the entire "story mode" playing each song once (and the FFXVI DLC) took me 25 hours. With all that I only did around 60% of the game. The choices of which characters from each game to add was interesting, with a good amount of notible characters not getting the Theatrhythm chibi treatment but if I could change 1 thing: instead of doing a bunch of DLC of non-final fantasy properties, since im paying for the FFXVI content, give me some chibi 16 characters. I want a Little Clive!

Lots of great tunes, lots of characters to unlock and a lot of levels to play through. A lot. It took 24 hours to play through the 376 songs from each of the Final Fantasy series on offer. From the early 8 bit games to the online and mobile offerings, I think the only games that aren't featured are some of the ds spin offs and Dirge of the Cerberus, however, 32 tune for Final Fantasy XIV was taking the piss a little bit, when they missed out some of the best ones from the late 90s/early 00s games. In my opinion.

I had a good time for the most part. Some of the levels got quite challenging, and I'm not sure I could play some of the levels on a higher difficulty than the presets.

Some great fan service and you definitely get your moneys worth. Well, I certainly did as I got it for just over £20. I like the little video edits you unlock when finishing each series. A nice touch getting to see some of the fmv from over the years. Although it does pose the question, how come they haven't tried releasing FFXIII on switch?

very fun game. nothing much more

The servers for this game go offline on leap days. I nearly gagged seeing that notif.

The sheer amount of content is staggering.
