Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call |OT| Once more, with feeling!

B-but lying down is the best way to play with the stylus! What do you mean?
I am surprised at how good the button scheme feels, though. I'm just better and more practised with the stylus.
I'm too used to stylus. Buttons feel like some weird tentacle monster touching me in my no zone.

Dunno, never felt comfortable playing with the stylus lying down. Always had to be sitting up and have the 3DS propped on something. The stand you got with Kid Icarus was a godsend for this.

So, is there a method for switching the lead party member quickly? Because I've been constantly going back and forth between Cloud and Tidus for every Battle or Field song by going into the party member menu and choosing one in the spot of the other, very cumbersome.
nope
I would have liked having sets I could switch to like MH. Pain in the ass doing medleys since there's a save screen before and after editing the party.

The FMSs are my favorite song type. If I had to cut it down to three
The Sunleth Waterscape (best of Theatrhythm of the songs I've played)
Tower of the Magi
Roses of May

The XIV soundtrack is pretty uniformly fantastic.

I'll second Cosmo Canyon. Also growing quite fond of March of the Dreadnoughts and The Earth Beneath our Feet.

Yessssss Sunleth Waterscape got me back into Final Fantasy games, it is that beautiful.
Yeah, that's really lazy localisation right there.

Are you surprised though? They didn't change anything in the original Theatrhythm.

Fuck spinning arrows.
Yup. I love that soundtrack. XI was a pleasant surprise for me as well even though I never played the game. XIV:ARR gives me hope for the future of the series. I hope more of that team gets to have bigger roles in future titles.
they used the Japanese version for a lot of shit
makes me sad
Some of the songs would have been thrown off if they used the English versions though because of the rhythm of the notes. When you use different words, it changes the rhythm. Also, when you buy official versions of any of these soundtracks, the lyrics are in Japanese. Personally the only loss for me is the song from Crystal Chronicles. Miss my English lyrics.

Dust to Dust, The Castle, Gustaberg, The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah and Not Alone all have favorite marks next to them on my list. Can't get enough of them
Edit -- And The Boundless Ocean
yes I understand that. reprogramming a few songs for the 50 people who are buying the game in the west (that's us!!) ain't cost effective.
the english versions for Crystal Chronicles' OP and ED tho. I know someone who's playing the game and damn, the first dungeon music, Mushroom Forest, Moshet's Manor... too good.

It really is, and Curtain Call got me to resub to XIV after being reminded once again how great the music was. Playing some of the new patched content in XIV since launch(HM dungeons) has also proven that even the new music stands tall with the selected older tracks chosen in this game.
Oh and it is nice that the older games include the classic chiptunes, but some of those songs just repeat in 15 second loops for minutes on end, a real bummer especially considering symphonic remixes made for some of the remakes greatly enhances the themes and would fit better in this format. Not sure if any are DLC, but the big one that sticks out is FF2's overworld theme. A beautiful track that is limited in the Famicom game but far more fleshed out in Origins PSX and better suited.

The more I play this the more I like it. Quest medley mode beats the heck out of Chaos Shrine in the original Theatrythm. I also am finding my affinity to characters to be greater in this one.
I was all ready to consider Dark Souls 2 my GOTY, but this one is starting to become something quite amazing. It also gives me a massive nostalgia rush that makes me reconfirm just how much I like the FF series as a whole.

I don't think I'll be able to play much tonight, so I'm curious: when do you unlock StreetPass, DLC, and Versus mode? I just unlocked Quest Medley.
Not sure about Versus, but I think StreetPass is unlocked after you complete your first Quest Medley. And DLC should be available from the start, I think?
Same here.
Morning Sky > Sound of the Wind.
You have to unlock it. I don't remember when exactly, though.
Monster Buff, kupo!
The worst! There are some in-game bosses that also use Monster Buff until you defeat them. Worse than judgement imo.

One of Today's Top Hits was Final Battle from Final Fantasy IV. I took advantage of it with my FFIV team.
EDIT: Got another one with FFIV's The Airship, getting me 370 Rhythmia.

I would love that map!
Friend code? Mines in my profile, I'm available now if you are :3
I finally started playing this and it's so fun! I'm not very good with the stylus though. I've switched to buttons and things have improved. Marginally. I think I'm just bad, haha.
When are you able to fully change your party though? Started with Cloud, Cecil, Terra, and Lightning, but I want to boot Lightning for Bartz but don't have the option to? Only other character choice is Zack.

You can do that as soon as you have shards to unlock other characters. Before every song, you can Edit Party and switch out any characters you've unlocked.
I play hybrid, using the L button for tapping/ holds and the stylus for any swiping.

Wait, I just got a notice that I've "viewed all Extended Versions of EMS scenes."
So... I've already unlocked every EMS, then? There was a disappointingly low number of them.
Is the Curtain Call Special Medley the last song you unlock?

If EMS > 0, then no, there's actually too many!
I was super disappointed that they removed the old ones. The old ones were far better, being as they were from the mainline number series games.
Damn you, limited cartridge space...

Ugh. "The Glittering City of Yusnaan" is annoying me. I only need the last bar at Expert level to get the crown. I've made sure to get crits near the last part but it's still eluding me. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
