Got it early (by EU standards). I bought it during my lunch break, so now I have to wait until after work to play it. The next 3 hours are going to feel long as fuck.
Terra is always self doubting. dem Final Fantasy ladies.

You will own this.
The Chaos Shrine stuff is difficult and I haven't even tried expert yet. It's easily accessible but you can ramp up the difficulty if you want.

So again just for clarification, despite a few abilities here and there, are there really no major difference between using specific party members?

Yeah, seriously! It doesn't help that I really only ever played 2 FF games and I bought this purely to have a fun rhythm game on the 3DS. The difficulty ramps up really quick in there and you can't unlock new songs without completing the previous one.

Each party member has a different set of stats and buffs/abilities.
Cloud, for instance, is high in STR and has decent special attacks and HP buffs, which makes him pretty useless in FMS stages. He's more suited for BMS.
Onion Knight, on the other hand, has some pretty amazing AGI buffs, which makes him good for FMS.
A character like Zidane is good for just about all of the stage types, as his stats can be rounded out pretty well with abilities. That, and Steal is always a good time for BMS.
You do.
I don't really have a problem executing it, per se, it just feels a little clunkier than it should.

Even with headphones on, the 3DS max volume is not loud enough for me. 
Really enjoying this game although I've barely gotten started.

I thought I read in game that after you unlock 8 dark notes you get a new character...is that not so?

Just plug it in a stereo, that's what I'm gonna do!
It seems all random to me.
In addition, you get extra Rhythmia for having a character in the party from the same game as the song.

Thanks! I have lightning as my main so I have Libra, she also knows steal so I will work on that.

Easier than it looks. Find your favorite song out of the bunch and have it be your first foray into Ultimate. That's what I did, at least.
Not an expert at rhythm games like some of you folks (no SS or SSS rankings yet), but does anyone find the event mode a lot harder than the other two? I almost always get a S ranking in field mode, and usually an A/S in battle, but I am getting a ton of C/Bs in event mode... Maybe I just need practice.

Some songs are ridiculous on Ultimate, favorite or not. I can SS some of them, and there have been a few I have died within the first 30-40 seconds.
Close, but:
I can confirm this, as the ONLY time I have ever gotten Boss 1 was when I failed to reach the sign in the FMS. I have also gotten Perfect Chains on the FMS and gotten Boss 2, which contradicts your friend. Not sure about the Boss 2/3 bit (where you get Boss 2 if you do poorly at the start of the BMS and you get Boss 3 if you do well at the BMS), I haven't kept track that closely. I really wish Chaos Shrine was explained better as a whole, because then you could also say that either all of my experiences (or your friend's) has just been a result of random shit. Also no one seems to be quite sure how the game determines the difficulty (No. xx) of the Dark Notes you unlock, I'm seeing some people who are getting 99 ones non-stop, but I'm getting a ton at 30, it's bizarre.
Also has anyone seen a list of all character abilities? No point in not equipping abilities in the Chaos Shrine since it doesn't track high scores or anything (and ironically the 7,999,999 hard cap doesn't apply in that mode, even if you have stuff equipped) and I'm seeing some people say at the higher level Dark notes (like 90+) you need to have everyone maxed and with Limit Breaks, but I haven't even seen that yet.

I...I... couldn't help myself. I bought all of the DLC without a second thought. "A Fleeting Dream" is so beautiful.
The timing window in this game I find is pretty generous. The only swipes I have difficulty with right now are EMS where the swipes are towards odd angles.

...Someday the Dream Will End is on the DLC store thing? That's one of my favourite BGMs from FFX. Must... resist... urge...
I don't wanna buy it. I can just pop the OST in and pretend I'm playing along. >.>

I did the same thing with Hunter's Chance. You do not have a problem.
Perfo, you're going to love this game. I guarantee it.

I don't blame you, $0.99 is pretty good value. I actually plan on purchasing all of the DLC down the line.

I wont be buying any DLC until I get the 3DSXL
I still dont understand how nintendo does not have a persistent online for users.
Nothing is linked to me but rather the system which is ridiculous.
I've been extremely selective of what I buy, in fact Pushmo is it.
I want to spend money on the DLC songs, but I don't think I will

Once you hit
10k rhythmia you see the credits.
Oh, and after 10k you start unlocking more playable songs.

This. I even checked the options menu...which is full of useless options =/

I'm sure of it, I already played the DEMO plenty of times infact! Can't wait.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
it's genius.
Cloud at the title screen saying "H-How do I put this on?" is genius.
I'm guessing the title screen quotes are just famous quotes from their respective games.

Absolutely yes. I haven't played through every FF game myself, but I'm still having loads of fun with it. You will enjoy your favorite FF games a lot more though.

But....this makes no sense. You can transfer everything you have downloaded to the 3DS XL when you get it. You lose nothing and you keep everything. So why not just download stuff you want and when you get the XL transfer all your data over.
Also unified accounts are coming...probably will be instituted when the WiiU is released.
This was my exact dilema, having only played FF8, FF9, FF10 and parts of FF13.
I wasn't familiar with either song in the demo yet absolutely loved it, which for me was enough to place a pre-order straight away. My main issue with the game was that I wouldn't be familiar with and therefore appreciate huge chunks of the track list, but the demo showed me that wasn't an issue.
I have no idea what that means, sorry.
But going by the version of the XIII OST it cuts out just after the ~2:00 minute mark which is what I qualify as the 'best part'.

Change your sound in the 3DS settings from Surround to Stereo. Should boost it a bit.Even with headphones on, the 3DS max volume is not loud enough for me.

Yeah. Zidane's "you don't need a reason to help people" is straight from FFIX, and Tidus's whiny "but this is my story! D:" is from FFX. "I'm not your sister" from Lightning is another reason to keep her off of the investigation team.
I wonder what they take to generate the random phrases before you start levels, though.
It's a good game on its own, but when you add the FF nostalgia to it, it ends up being pretty darn awesome.
I'll double check, but I think that bit might be omitted. A lot of the themes cut off before the really good parts. They cut off my favourite bit of FFVII's Staff Roll, for example, and cut right to the lyrics portion of Suteki da ne in the FFX cinematic part. Edit: I think you're fine.Thoraxes said:
