New Final Fantasy for 3DS announced!

[Goli]

EDIT:

Square Enix has a new Final Fantasy game on the way for 3DS, but it's not quite the RPG we're used to. The new game is titled Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Yes, this is the Final Fantasy themed rhythm game we've all been waiting for.

Revealed in this week's Jump, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a "Theater Rhythm Action" game. The game has field scenes set in dungeons and towns, and battle scenes that resemble the side-view battles of older Final Fantasy games. However, everything is played like a rhythm game, where you tap the screen in accordance with prompts.

Needless to say, the game's music is pulled from past Final Fantasy games. Characters, including the likes of Lightning and Cloud, are also in the game, only they're shown in cute "chibi" style form, resembling the avatars from the mobile Kingdom Hearts game.

There seems to be somewhat of a story to the game. Jump says that the classic Final Fantasy characters are fighting to return light to the crystal.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is currently without a final release date.

Ooooh~
This is a pleasant surprise.

 

[KingVamp]

Well that pretty nice even for a spin-off. Won't mind buying.

As long as 3ds keep getting rpgs wii should/ u should / I should/ it should be fine.

Oops misread the game gene. (I think)

I love little music games. Hopefully this one doesn't suck. now... where's my Chocobo Racing 3DS that was promised

It's better than nothing.
Specially since most FF spinoffs are good.
See Dissidia, FFType-0, Tactics A2 et al.

XP Taiko: FF edition
This will be better than all those Taiko games and you know it.

Dead obviously.

I'm expecting it to resurface soon with a big makeover.

I don't even wat.

How do you pronounce that?

Going by the kana it's kind of like thee-ah-ter-rhy-thm.

 

[Ikki]

I'll be honest, it looks kinda stupid.
Let's just hope it turns out to be good.

If it ends up being 100% music driven, what seems to be the case, I won't buy it.

That of course assuming it shows up overseas.

MAKE AN OUENDAN LIKE GAME THAT DOESN'T SUCK LIKE THAT MICHEAL JACKSON ONE.

Which is being remade for the 3DS too btw, isn't it wonderful.

 

[Schlupi]

BETTER THAN TAIKO?

POPPYCOCK!

If it is better than the 30+ game series COMBINED (on Arcade, PS2, iOS, PSP, AND DS) then I applaud it. Until then... I DENY. I will probably want to hear more about it before I buy it, to be honest. Also... You know what they SHOULD DO?

MAKE AN OUENDAN LIKE GAME THAT DOESN'T SUCK LIKE THAT MICHEAL JACKSON ONE.

 

[DeMoN]

Well there go my hopes of a V or VI remake.

 

[Nathan Drake]

Not all that impressed. It looks like it's going to just be a quick spin off with FF characters in it to try to make a quick buck. I personally play Final Fantasy for an RPG (even Dissidia is an RPG, levels, gear, the whole shabang), not for some weird musical thing. There are plenty of good rhythm games out there, like the Taiko ones. :3

over this?

lmao

 

[DiscostewSM]

THE POWER OF SONG COMPELS YOU!!!

Unless they make it interesting with how they implement it, I dunno if this would be worth the money.

 

[phantastic91]

the faces from what i can see look pretty scary.

 

[Windaga]

Is that Cloud? Wouldn't this mark the first time he'd be seen on a Nintendo console? Or am I mistaking him for someone else? I'm not very much into Final Fantasy, but I thought his only appearances thus far have been on Sony based platforms (and a mobile game or two.)

Either way, I'll wait for more information.

Cloud was in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded on the DS ;D

Edit: Also if im not mistaken, in addition to Cloud, there is Lightning, The character from Crystal Chronicles: My Life as King and The Warrior of Light in that pic as well.

Now everyone is bard class

I think it's Onion Knight, not King Leo.
