This game is worth every penny just because it has The Price Of Freedom.

I still suck horribly on FMS tracks. I just can't feel the rhythm on those.
Had a client cancel so I've just been sitting here playing the game while waiting on my next appointment. I'm so happy they included some Mystic Quest songs- Battle 2 is so good. I'm just sad the final boss music wasn't included. That one is sooooo goooood
I've finally started clearing some ultimates, too. I was never very good with the touch controls so I had a lot of trouble on the first one. I'm not great at it, but I can tell I'm getting better. The button controls are much easier to pick up for me. I've only cleared Dancing Mad and both FFXIV primal themes so far, but it's a big step up from nothing.

Dunno how you guys are using button controls. The circle pad is way too stiff and slow to use in Ultimate BMS.
Pretty cool that they give recognition to the one-handed style haha.

Tried online. Got whooped by this dude called Ochi. That ass picked FFVIII - Force Your Way. It's so hard on Ultimate.
Seems hard to get opponents right now. International, Ultimate w/ or w/o EXB, Lv30

I've never played Mystic Quest, but Battle 2 is a really awesome song.

Mystic Quest has no shortage of awesome music. You should look it up on YouTube.

I switched from the stylus controls to buttons as I was playing last night, and I think it's quite a bit easier, except maybe for the case of slides at the end of holds in FMS. I should try Big Bridge again this way.
The track I remember being ridiculous in the original was FF4's "Battle with the Four Fiends". Is it still the same here?

Ugh I hate those so much
I feel like Expert difficulty is too easy but Ultimate is too hard for me. I can never clear this mode, on any of the songs I've tried! I know that practice is key, so I'm going to keep at it. BUT does anyone have any suggestions for 'easier' Ultimate songs? Thanks!
Btw if anyone wants to play vs mode against me (on Expert difficulty lol) do add me! My friend code should be on my profile.

Oh man, they made the boss theme from FFIV easier. That was one of the best charts in the last game cause it was so brutal
Aww, really? Finishing that on Ultimate in the previous game was so satisfying.
I'm still amused they included Dungeon Hero X's Theme from Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon. Especially since The Man with the Machine Gun is already on the track list.

Is there any incentive to own the first game?
None whatsoever really.

Why the heck is Savior of Souls an EMS? I haaaate those.
Seriously. I was pretty excited to try button controls, but the circle pad just doesn't feel right.

Maybe try Blinded By Light from FFXIII? I played it last night during a quest and it was surprisingly doable. I haven't played too many of the Ultimate scores on the battle songs yet - my goal for today is to go through a bunch of them for practice. Stuck on the last boss on my 36-day inherited quest and of course it's One Winged Angel which I just can't quite seem to get through....

Answers is the best Vocal in FF history, just a shame that the version in the game is so damned cut down. I know the song is 7 minutes, but still.
Pretty happy with the game so far, though honestly, I am a little annoyed that FFXIV 1.0 got completely jilted. No Twilight over Thanalan, no On Windy Meadows, no Twin Faces of Fate, such a great OST, but it is really under-represented here. At least my two favorite boss songs are in the game.
Also, why only Y'shtola? Hope more characters come from the DLC, but I doubt it.
Oh, BTW, if I download the demo NOW? do I still get character unlocks from it?

I've put about four hours into the game, and I've fallen right back in love with it. Have yet to play online.
After hearing it in the game, I've become quite fond of Dungeon from FFII.

I'm still struggling on the FMS stages when you have to slide the target up and down. I don't know why, I never had a problem with it in the first game, and now all the sudden I'm really struggling with it. I'm falling behind, or just never quite quick enough. It's starting to get a little frustrating.
Does this mean all the tracks from the first game are in this one as well?
EDIT: Seems that yes is the answer. Sorry guys, should have just searched for two seconds before posting.

Anyone else got this game without much FF experience? I honestly love it as a rhythm game, but it does feel weird to be unaffected by all the fan service in it.
No worries. There is one DLC song that's not in Curtain Call, that being Somnus from FFXV (or Versus as it was then known). That's the only real incentive to get the first game but even then, not worth it.

All the music is definitely not as loud as the first game.
Kind of disappointed I'm feeling forced to wear headphones to enjoy it the same.

221 songs....holy shit.
I thought I had value in the last game. That's just nuts.

So I haven't had this question answered yet.
Are the songs actual song length or cut off like the first game? I might keep it if they are the full length. I haven't opened my copy yet.

At least some of them have been shortened. For example, Answers (FFXIV) cuts off the beginning and the end of the song (7 minutes was probably deemed to be too long).
They seem to generally be full length, though some of the songs with a really plodding and ambling run-up prelude to the actual song seem like they fade in or start a little further in. I could be mistaken, but I kinda maybe remember that from the 2 hours I played last night?
Really adore this game. Just opened up the quest thing last night, played through the first one this morning. It's such a simple, thin wrapper but it's still somehow totally compelling.
The one thing I don't really understand in this game is that some characters are clearly FMS optimized, some BMS optimized but like... how much does it ever matter? I'm mostly playing Expert and getting S or SS with the occasional perfect chain. Maybe my picked-for-their-looks party would fail me in the Ultimate(?) Score?
This is the wooooooooorst. If the slope on the curve isn't too steep, you can let go your up/down a beat or two before the arrow, but yeah damn those are messy.

Alright, thanks for the suggestion! Forgot to mention that I can complete Ultimate for FMS songs, but that's no use for versus mode lol.
Therein lies the dirty little secret of this game... as long as you personally as a human hit every note perfectly or close to perfectly, you'll never fail and the abilities and items and skills won't matter for jack.
The skills matter when you start failing, or when you're trying to rush bosses to get items and cards, in which case strength/power allow you to kill more dudes during the course of a song and get more items.
ALSO at least this time around, your skills can help in versus battles to help you weather the storm of EX stuff to a certain degree. This counts for offline also, which is nice.
But in a normal, single player, score-attack environment, there really isn't much point.

Thanks for the answers guys. I think I'll probably keep it then. I enjoy the gameplay of it enough to enjoy it again. I was just worried it would be super shallow because of them cutting songs so much in the first game.

That "choose your characters" song from FFTactics in Quest Medley sounds so good.
I see myself listening to that for awhile before playing.
Awesome score that really pumps you up!

Every song in FFT is amazing. It's a shame more of them didn't make the game.
Best FF soundtrack and it isn't even close.

So I only found out you can use the buttons and the circle pad while going through the tutorial and I have to say, I like it MUCH better. Button pressing for hits is so much more wonderful than tapping is.

I get that with the EMS. Then I blame the game being unable to handle an FMV and gameplay at the same time.

It has a track called "Bloody Excrement". Instant GOAT status.
Skills are absolutely necessary to clear high level chaos maps. I have a map where I cannot beat the final boss with 4 level 99 BMS oriented characters all using their limit breaks, and this is with SS perfect chain score on Ultimate. It looks like I'll have to reset them to level 1 for the CP gain along with beefing up their stats with cards. I'm still in the processing of getting every character to 99 to see final stats and abilities as I have not decided yet who I want have as my BMS team.
