There's not a whole lot to say about this game. The RPG mechanics feel almost completely superficial, tacked on and pointless (Though unlocking characters and being able to make your dream team of 4 does have its novelty) and the graphics/art style/presentation make it look like a cheap mobile game, but that doesn't change the fact that Theatrhythm has always been a celebration of Final Fantasy's history and music and Final Bar Line is the absolute best version of Theatrhythm to experience to date with over 380 songs available and more DLC featuring music from NieR and Octopath Traveler among others as well.

This is the ultimate love letter to Final Fantasy and its musical history spanning over 35 years, If you like FF and its music and enjoy rhythm games this should honestly be a no-brainer to get, I've sunk over 20 hours into it in just a few days already. My only complaints are the charting on some songs could definitely be better (No surprise with the sheer amount of songs though) and I also just wish they would've implemented a long or short version of songs option instead of just cutting every song down to a 'radio edit' version because some of us are crazy enough to want to play the entire 17 minutes of Dancing Mad, thanks.
