What if it turns out good? Huh? HUH? You never know!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

wtf, sounds mad stupid, son.

 

[disappeared]

Square is really intent on aiming for that big Wal-Mart bargain bin in the sky.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

goty

Come now, you're better than this!

 

[Aeana]

3DS's killer app.

Fuck, I need to see a logo for this thing.

The logo is like a parody of the Dissidia logo.
It's awesome.

 

[Kagari]

What does this even mean?

Hi.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

At least it's not Latin.

 

[Jinfash]

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.

 

[Jinfash]

Hi.

Goty

 

[Hours Left]

This doesn't seem to weird to me, considering that Square has used "cutesy" Final Fantasy characters before in other random spin-offs.

I think we need some deep breathing exercises in here.

 

[Kyon]

saw the scan. Day 0

 

[jiggle]

saw the scan
it actually looks pretty interesting
you have the traditional battle screen with monster on the left and 4 characters on the right

 

[Emitan]

Hi.

That's it. I think I need to go to bed now.

 

[disappeared]

Ten bucks says there's a KH3 teaser post-credits.

 

[chri5t]

The logo is like a parody of the Dissidia logo.
It's awesome.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not.

 

[J-Rock]

What does this even mean?

The end of everything.

 

[angelfly]

I guess it was too much to hope for something good from SE on 3DS.

From andriasang.com

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 that 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.

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.

All right, cool, so it's nothing like my game. Carry on, Square-Enix.

 

[Kyon]

Kagari-chan what do you think of this announcement?

 

[Kagari]

Dream Drop Distance?

Kagari-chan what do you think of this announcement?

I thought it was fake at first... but this is definitely the new title Nomura hinted at.

That's all I needed. I'm sold.

DAY 0

 

[Aeana]

Kagari-chan what do you think of this announcement?

Your obsession with her is kind of creepy.

 

[Father_Brain]

Dream Drop Distance?

ROCKET SLIME

 

[casuallyhardcore]

.........

 

[Egnirys]

Uhhh...
Whom ever approved the creation of this game is out of their mind.

 

[angelfly]

Dream Drop Distance?

Damn I forgot all about that.

 

[Busaiku]

I'm hype.

 

[daffy]

THEATRHYTHM

I can no longer bare this.

 

[Jinfash]

ROCKET SLIME

:bow

 

[Sage00]

Looks awesome! FF rhythm action with remixed battle themes? Day 1.

 

[Emitan]

Yes, this is that Final Fantasy themed rhythm game we've all been waiting for.

Who was waiting? WHAT IS HAPPENING.

 

[BurntPork]

I've never seen such universal confusion in a thread before. I mean, just look at how short all of the posts are. Since I'm baffled as well, I need to see more of this.

 

[BlueTsunami]

That has to be one of the worst game titles ever. Ever. Its like, once you parse what it actually means you begin to wonder why Theater is in there and rhythm? Final Fantasy? What?

 

[Refugio]

Your obsession with her is kind of creepy.

i disagree aeana-chan

 

[XANDER CAGE]

THEATRHYTHM

I can no longer bare this.

Now I've lost it

 

[ShockingAlberto]

How often does Square-Enix fail to bring over non-traditional FF games? Not very often, right?

 

[Rahxephon91]

"Fuck you Square, you never do anything different"

Square does something different.

"Fuck you Square this is stupid"

 

[NeededSleep]

Dream Drop Distance?

Ever notice has KH titles are starting to get like Gundam anime series titles?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Now I've lost it

I know I can kill.

 

[PigSpeakers]

Well, at least it isn't FF4 or FF1+2 again.

 

[Zierath]

This game will be amazing. I am completely serious.

 

[chri5t]

That has to be one of the worst game titles ever. Ever.

I think that's one of Square-Enix's marketing strategies.

Come up with absolutely baffling names, so people can spend all day thinking about what the fuck they mean.

I mean, it's working.

 

[Father_Brain]

How often does Square-Enix fail to bring over non-traditional FF games? Not very often, right?

They didn't bring over the last few Chocobo games, but this one actually has FF in the title, and is more importantly one of SE's first titles for a new platform. It has a pretty good chance of being localized, I'd say.

 

[Nirolak]

Oh look, another game that's Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, or Final Fantasy.

We're still at zero games in other brands announced from Square Enix Japan.
