I'm so glad this franchise finally game to main consoles so I could play it, as someone who gets headaches playing on handheld devices. Final Fantasy is my favorite series of all time, so of course Theatrhythm would be the perfect celebration of everything I love. In fact, I probably enjoy this more than some of the mainline entries.

This is definitely one where I'm going to continue to go back and try and unlock more clips whenever I have a little time between games. I love the way the game presents the clues to you and allows you the freedom to come to your own conclusions about the events. It's brilliantly acted and has a fun narrative with some deep themes sprinkled throughout.

There were a few puzzle solutions that were really clever and I enjoyed that, but on the whole, this was mostly a boring Portal clone. It probably needed a little more length in order to really flesh out its own mechanics a little more. I did appreciate the ways that the gameplay and story intertwine, though.
I'm really sad that I didn't enjoy this. I picked it up as part of a larger bundle because it looked really interesting, but it plays more like a minigame that happens to feature dating, as opposed to a full dating simulator. It also only takes 20-30 minutes to go through a route, which isn't long enough to really get to know the various relationships. It just wasn't very fun in the end.

I finally dusted this one off the backlog because I wanted to play the sequel. Is this my favorite game of all time? No, absolutely not. The clients were way too rigid for me to have a whole lot of fun with the actual art creation part (which I'm sure may be a deliberate choice for the sake of telling a story with the gameplay, but that still didn't make it very fun). Still, nothing beats scribbling on a canvas for 5 minutes and making several thousand dollars.
