one hell of an addictive experience what with the surprising amount of meat on its bones. you have the individual songs but also quests that you can do, and a full versus mode as well. additionally, this just oozes with so much adoration for final fantasy (both the music and the series as a whole) that you can't help but fall in love with it. pretty much every game gets at least a few songs, including spin-offs and side ones. the gameplay is just so much fun. this game rocks!
The best Final Fantasy series.
If music is one of the best art forms ever because you can have a personal attachment to the shape of sounds as it responds to memories/feelings/etc. then yeah, playing along with that is gonna be pretty sick even if it's one tangible step above playing the air guitar/drums

Twewy music included = Instant five stars
Well, not really. It always annoyed me how the directions in arrow notes weren't visually clear enough, and the 3ds's circle pad is a bit too imprecise for diagonals.
Aside from those control problems the game could use a fourth, harder difficulty mode.
Everything else in this game is fantastic.

Ainda não o terminei, e provavelmente isso deve demorar, mas muito rapidamente fui tomado por esse jogo. É uma explosão de carinho por um elemento extremamente importante pra mim em todos os final fantasys - sua música. É muito emocionante tocar clássicos que já conheço, mas também descobrir músicas novas a partir do gameplay, que acaba por destacar vários elementos de arranjo e melodias através das sequências de ritmo. Amo meu teatríssimo!
Using the music of Final Fantasy already gives this rhythym game a leg up; Nobuo Uematsu is a great composer even when disregarding the medium of video games. Full of nods to the series and packed with gameplay tweaks to the normal rhythym formula that instill it with a real Final Fantasy feeling. Unique backgrounds for particular songs and some stellar DLC tracks make this a standout and a clear upgrade from the first game.
Well, kinda more of the same but with some nice QoLs and, of course, more songs.
Maybe it's simply because they belong to beloved franchises, but I feel the Theatrhythm and the Persona dancing games are the only original rhythm games (to differentiate from other official like, idk, the GameCube DDR Mario) I really enjoy to return once in a while out of some whims.
Btw all DLCs are officially gone, that they all get preserved in the way you would expect. As they say: "modding a 3DS is surprisingly easy".

have been playing this for about a week and it's pretty fun. some of the maps are a bit bullshit, they expect you to push different directions on the circle pad rapidly, which would be easier if it were done with the d-pad.
song selection is great but a bit lackluster, i have my favorites and i wish ffx's prelude and besaid theme were here as well as ffvi's kefka's theme. ffvii and ix selections aren't that great either but i can say iii, iv, xiii and viii are really really good. i also wish they'd put songs from "4 heroes of light" here because that soundtrack totally owns.
audio quality is actually great with the songs themselves however some of the sound effects and victory jingle sound like ass. the 8-bit tracks have a little bit of reverb, probably to keep them from hurting our ears, and that's great. it's something i would do myself in a game like this.
overall, i just wish this game had more music.

Muy buen juego rítmico de Final Fantasy, con un amplio catálogo de canciones, personajes jugables y enemigos junto a diversos modos de juego. Lo único que le crítico es el modo aventura, ya que para jugarlo te tienes que poner algo más técnico con los stats y equipo de tus personajes, cosa que no provoca en un juego rítmico
I can't imagine how it could be advanced in the next game, which is already out. This game is already a masterpiece. You can play many of the best game soundtracks of all time by holding them in your hand and feeling the memory it brings you in the old days. Playing these rhythm games can't be more memorable, and nothing can compare to it.
Making a rhythm game out of a series with one of the greatest catalogues of soundtracks ever was genius. Hardcore fans get a lot more out of it with how much it pulls from the whole series history, spinoffs and all, but even with my limited FF experience I still found it addicting and got some new favorite songs. I appreciate how it just gets straight into things and lets you play whatever you want, and the art style and presentation is cute.
The devs clearly have a lot of love for the games represented and now I wish some non-Square series had their own Theatrhythm equivalent...

Neat game. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't play so much Groove Coaster last year. I thought the gear and the leveling up and the party configuration stuff was all pretty cool for a rhythm game.
Final Fantasy as a series definitely has enough bangers to fill a whole catalog of songs but compared to other rhythm games it felt lacking in diversity. What it lacks in diversity, it makes up for in its consistency. Consistently good experience, consistently good visuals, consistently good music, and a consistent overall aesthetic. I think this game is incredibly well made and I know the kind of guy who would love this but I'm not that guy.
