Gaming THEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY

[DiscostewSM]

I was waiting for this game to go on sale (even for a few $ less). Saw on Amazon that it was going for $38 today so I went to buy it. Then I realized that I had a $10 gift balance (which I recall was from Kid Icarus pre-order that it had reduced at some point). Had I known about that, I would have bought this on launch day.

Amazing game. One of the few 3DS games i paid full retail for and love it (And i got the pre-order stylus too )

Just downloaded my first 2 songs too (FFVI Battle Theme and FFIV Final Battle). SE should really consider making this a series, this is easily my favorite rhythm game ever

The game is pretty cheap on the UK Amazon, it goes for 21£, actually thought of getting it but well, I love rhythm games and the songs but I wonder if the game has like a story or some connection... z.z

I bought this game and I am loving it so far. Really helped to pass the time on my flight the other day.

If they make a series of Theaterhythm, do they stick to FF I wonder, or will they branch out. There are enough Mana (Seiken Densetsu) games you could do a nice selection, also due to their merger -- Dragon Quest would be awesome.

Still not buying this until they put the demo on the US eshop.

Am I just really good at this game or is the FMS stage on the demo really easy? After about 4 attempts I got 100% critical hits on easy, then after 1 attempt on medium i got 100% combo (only missed 2 criticals) and then went on to get 'A' on expert (still working on perfect )edit: sorry posted on 3DS :L

Haha, nah all my fms on every level are SS Perfect Chains

 

[VmprHntrD]

It's as easy or hard as it is for your abilities in general with timing based games. I can get between an S and an occasional B rank on a section so my areas I have touched are S or A (mostly) ranks. I know you can supposedly strip off item/skills for the SS rank but as someone who detests 'rank' and just wants to enjoy a game I could give two shits. If I didn't like the audio so much I probably wouldn't play it as I had rank being tossed in my face in any genre title as often the skill levels set are by those who put in a 1000 hours testing and have lost perspective.

Just got the game in the mail today, 2 days earlier than previously designated as the "earliest time". Haven't played it yet, as I've been too engrossed in Petit Computer. I guess I'm a programmer at heart.

One question to those already having the game: Does the game spoiler the plot of the actual FF games? Because I haven't played half of them (I played like 5 or 6) so really I don't want to have spoilers story-wise, like who endbosses are and things like that.

Other then that I loved the Demo and I would buy this game in a heartbeat!

the EMS (Event music stage) show, clips/scenes from the games
and
the BMS (Battle music stage), some bosses do show up

The demo's out!

The demo's out!

Yeah it came out yesterday in NA. I tried it on a whim and holy crap it's like the greatest game ever. I encourage everyone to give it a try.

Edit: Also I'm not a big Final Fantasy guy, I played the older 2D ones, they're great,never beat em though. So I don't know either song from the demo. Nor have I played Elite Beat Agents so I dunno how t compares. For someone with relatively limited knowledge of the Final Fantasy series and music, this game is great.

I hated rhythm games but when I played the demo...

GOD I NEED THE GAME!!!

 

[Ergo]

^This.

And the demo, at lesat, isn't as good as Ouendan, but that would probably be asking for a bit too much since the music--and the 'animations'--made that game.

 

[muckers]

Ouendan was a lot more difficult, and more challenging to master, but there is much more to Theatrhythm in terms of gameplay 'meat'. There's a lot to do, many characters and combinations to use and level up to Lv. 99, and there's a few more different game modes too. Not to mention all the extra DLC as well.

But you're right, it isn't as good as Ouendan - I definitely prefered Ouendan to Theathythm. It was a lot more fun and, like you say, the animations and manga strips totally make the game as fantastic as it is.
