While I haven't yet finished every song in the game (holding out until I beat the respective titles they are from), Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line is an astounding collection of songs (nearly 400!).

Every mainline game is covered and quite a lot of the spinoffs are too, and I have a great appreciation for the team that understands Battle at the Big Bridge needs far and away more remixes than any other Final Fantasy song. There's a ton of characters to choose from too, however these points also tie into one of my few complaints about the game - there are some notable absences (like Wakka from X, or any of the other scions from XIV in favour of Y'shtola #2). Similarly, there are some songs that did not make the cut that was a true shame. It's understandable for a game like XIV that it's impossible to cut it down to ~30 songs, but FFIII and V in particular have songs that I was bummed out to see weren't in there.

I've got over 30 hours in FBL but I'll definitely continue to keep playing it to try and level my characters and attempt the more difficult missions. Definitely a no-brainer if you love Final Fantasy and rhythm games.
