Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
No, I'm too stupid to understand the difference. Thanks for being a dick.
It's a spinoff game, but it still relies heavily on the characters and events of each of the FF games. I guess I'm not really sure why someone would be interested in the aesthetics of a game based on a series they were never entirely interested enough to ever try.
Maybe aesthetic context doesn't matter to some. I don't know. For instance, if I had never played Persona 4, I wouldn't touch the fighting game, even if I was a fighting game fan. Maybe it's my OCD. I like to play everything something references before touching it.

Is there a way to play full versions of songs in the game? Because a lot of the longer ones end before having gone through once, for example One Winged Angel and The Extreme, often at times missing out on the best parts of the songs...

Pretty sure that you can't.
I think every song is the original game version. At least I'm PRETTY sure.
my understanding is all the "playable" tracks in the game are the original versions.
3DS games have achievements? Shows what I know.
Honestly I hate my 3DS. I bought it exclusively for this game although I picked up Mario 3D Land and OoT just to break it in a little. And I think it's an overpriced cheap plastic piece of junk. The 3D is a useless gimmick. It's extremely uncomfortable to hold, unlike the Vita. The aesthetics are 10 steps backward from the DSi. Graphics still terrible. Cameras are useless. Battery life is a joke. Resistive touch screen? In 2012? Pathetic.
But I really don't care, because Theatrhythm. I can't wait for tomorrow...

So far FFVIII has the best DLC for me. I've been playing The Extreme on my Japanese copy. Damn it's nice!
How To Zanarkand isn't an actual "playable" song baffles me. It's an intro song, but I wanted a full-blown song. I had to settle for a pretty bad rendition of it from the SE store (I don't know the English title until now, but I it seems to be Movement in Green).

I've played so much Dissidia though, that I was expecting this...

Joystiq review: More fun to play than to say.
I don't actually know what the review score is cause I can't read the review on my work pc, haha.

Zidane and Vivi! yay!
No Steiner! Boo!
I hope they give us dlc character packs also....as I really want Rhinoa, Steiner, and Edward (the spoony bard from FFIV).
A musical game without Edward seems almost wrong.
I'd like to see this, but I doubt it'll happen. I want Basch and Auron to be in.

Best Buy said they shipped mine out last Thursday, so I should hopefully get mine tomorrow!
I'm still holding out hope for "Don't be Afraid" to be released soon. D:
The Extreme is a little disappointing in how short it is.

Thinking about going to the 24 hour Best Buy here in NYC to pick up a copy at midnight (if they do indeed put it out on the shelf at that time). Rhythm games have been missing from my life for a long time. It's going to feel great to play this.

Apparently, one or two local places I know of got their copies in. Debating whether or not I should go and pick it up or if I should just wait until tomorrow...

The game wouldn't be possible [with its current gameplay] withOUT resistive and stylus, just saying...
Is it in the initial tracks/ available on DLC? This is just so good, and I have never played IX! Solo at 1:02 is awesome!
Why wouldn't it work with a capacitive touchscreen? Curious.

The Dark Messenger is included in the 4th batch of DLC.

Of course it would. You can even use your thumb on the 3DS, which kind of beats the point the other guy is making.

I don't know about you guys, but my thumb is not that slippery and fast to accommodate for the challenging parts; technically it should be possible, but practically the only fast rhythm games on iOS I have seen almost strictly relies on taps.

Grah! I can't get the two demo tracks out of my head, and I've only played the demo twice!
I just changed my shipping method on Amazon, and paid £2.00 extra to ensure it arrives on release day (maybe earlier, if I'm lucky). I'd have to wait an extra 3 days or so otherwise.
On an unrelated note, I would not be surprised at all to see this end up on iOS in a year or so. It wouldn't be the first Final Fantasy game to be released on a portable gaming system only to eventually make it's way over, and it would definitely work just as well on an iPhone/iPad. It just makes sense for them to wait a while in order to maximise profit.

I'm sure it'd be possible on a capacitive screen, the only issue is that a stylus is much better suited for quick "tap" gameplay, whereas a thumb is better for slower gestures.
A certain amount of precision is lost due to the cushion of a fingertip compared to the rigidity of a stylus (or fingernail, for that matter).

Well I get my ass handed to me by the challenging parts anyway but it's certainly possible to play the game that way. I don't game on my itouch so I don't know about iOS rhythm games.
And you say One Winged Angel is overplayed!

Does the game have volume-control options, so you can lower the volume of that annoying "feedback" sound without lowering the volume of the music? I wouldn't mind it if it were quieter, but watching videos for this game it's just grating because of how loud it is and how high-pitched it is.
