"Let the Battles Begin!" just utterly destroyed me on Ultimate. I think that track might be this game's Through Fire and Flames.
Jesus. Props to anyone that can SSS that.

I really want to. The deciding factor is whether the game is difficult or not. For someone who played the hardest guitar hero songs on expert, would there be a challenge during the later levels?
From my experience, the game ranges from extremely easy to extremely hard, depending on mode and song. You should be able to find a good challenge if you keep on playing.
As someone who played the hardest guitar hero songs on expert...definitely. Some of the songs are quite challenging. You need some control/finesse for a lot of sections.

Really threw me off because I was expecting holds in places where they were singular notes, or no notes where there were notes. I wish they'd gone through the effort to replace it with the English version since that would make the most sense for EU and NA.
This localization job is disappointing across the board. I played most of the FF games in Japanese first, but I bought an English product, so I expect it to be in English. Besides, this is a fanservice game aiming to evoke nostalgia, so the material should be presented as it was to the audience originally.

Does anyone know if I get the game from UK, I should be able to buy DLC from the Aus/NZ store and it'll still work with my copy right?
They're all the same 'PAL' region technically as far as 3DS stuff goes but I haven't really had much experience with Nintendo DLC, I just assumed it would work.

I need to replay FFIX once it becomes Vita compatible...wow at Ozma's description:
" A metaphysical being, Ozma exists without form and is unknowable, untouchable, and unattainable. And it is indispensable. Those who recognize it will be forced to question existence, substance, god, and themselves."
Damn.

Playing this with 3d on is a must for me, it really helps the notes pop away from the background

3D makes it blurrier for me, which makes harder difficulties even harder for me. =/
2D all the way.

Blurry... Uhh The 3d should never make it blurry it should make it more clear... might want to get your eyes checked D:

Absolutely nailing a song you really like on ultimate is pure bliss. Just did it with Fleeting Dream and I felt like I was fuckin Tidus being all badass and not crying and stuff.

Was the credits playable? If they weren't, they sorta missed the boat on that.
Admittedly, I'm disappointed that I didn't see the English text for FFI's opening text screen. It isn't that important to me on its own, but it would've helped a lot in drawing me into the EMS sequence.
I had expected a better effort since it was being localized for English territories and SE usually tries to meet expectations on that front. Speaking as someone who played most FFs in English primarily, I can't help but to feel disappointed with some of the EMS bits being left in Japanese. I don't have much of a nostalgic attachment to some of them because it wasn't the dialogue I had experienced when I first played through some of the games. Heck, I wouldn't be miffed if they had used the PSX/PSP footage of II for its EMS sequence. The only real problematic one is III, no?

I think thanks to this game, I'm going to need a screen protector asap. Any recommendations?

This may be my GOTY. I'll throw money to any and all future Theatrhythm games.
I took a video of my first Ultimate Score Perfect Chain:
(Saber's Edge)
http://youtu.be/duLxvyxcEIo?hd=1
Received about 5k exp afterwards. I have EXP Up on Squall (my leader). Feels so damn satisfying to beat an Ultimate Score.
My current party is:
Squall - 76
Lightning - 68
Vaan - 68
Zidane - 69
I think tonight, I'll grind to 99. Shouldn't take too long (especially for Squall).
10 hours of playtime. 10 trophies. 14009rm. Still haven't unlocked any new characters but I have a few shards for each of them.
I want to play more but I need to go show Spelunky XBLA some love.

I've decided Theatrhythm is going to get me in trouble. I sat down to play after my family went to bed...I figured I would play for a half hour and quit.
IT'S BEEN FOUR HOURS!
I should go to bed.

Yeah when the game throws a hard set at you...it doesnt mess around. That dark note I found with Within the Giant had a battle set to Man with the Machine Gun.
My mind literally froze at some parts. Died with a D rank.
I seriously need more practice (or at least to level up my characters).
Btw wasnt there another game that used this art style?
All I generally play is Rhythm games, and some of these songs on Ultimate are putting me in my place. I can't decide if it's me, or the DS doesn't like the way I swipe for directionals at times.

Dude! Your video just sold me on this...lol.

Yeah, this game is not a good influence on me. I should have been working for the past hour. >.>
I finally unlocked my Street Passing ability today. Wonder how many people I bump into will be playing this... has anyone had any luck yet?
I'm so happy I decided to turn my apartment upside down to find a screen protector for mine. When I shut down my 3DS I took a good look at the (protected) bottom screen and it freaked me out to see how scratched it was.
My friends use Hori and Big Ben and claim they're the best. Getting one of those is likely a safe bet. Mine was some unknown brand and you had to cut them to sizes.
Yeah, that'd be Kingdom Hearts Mobile.
Yeah it's a shame. I stubbornly kept tapping away just in case though, but to no avail.

This game gives me dry eyes since I find myself not blinking for a while sometimes, haha.
Yeah, they really missed an opportunity for that. Bonus rm or something.

How do you get the different bosses (numbers 2 or 3) on songs in Chaos Shrine? Is it all random?
Also, I swear I think I have like 9 Dark Notes now with that vocal version of FFXIII's "step into the rainbow" song. It just keeps popping up over and over! Is this random too or am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm mostly getting the same 6 or 7 songs again and again. (I already beat all three songs for FFs 1 through 13 in series mode.) Isn't the game suppose to have more music??

Depends on the field level beforehand. For some of them, if you keep a streak going from the beginning you'll eventually reach a point where a sign appears saying "Boss 2 or 3," if you keep the streak going to the end you'll go to Boss 3. Boss 2 otherwise. I think some Dark Notes may behave differently though.

Ah I see, thanks.
Also, guys, not sure if this was posted before, but the Japanese site has an adorable screen-saver for download.
The Dark Notes are tough. How do you actually "beat" the boss characters? Im managing to finish the notes but the boss' are still alive at the end of it so aren't dropping anything. My characters are all only level 12/13 though, is it just a matter of them needing to be more powerful to do more damage?

lol nice! You won't regret it!
So..I should be sleeping but I wanted to get Squall to level 99 before bed:
I was able to get an item that doubled(?) the EXP I earned for a song. So I equipped that, played my best Ultimate song, and was able to earn 16k exp for that song. It leveled each character 4 times. Hoping I can find that item again, lol.
My other 3 characters are about 88. Tomorrow, i'll finish them off as well as decide what kind of abilities I want them to have. I may just try to learn every ability I can with each person. I hope there isn't a limit.
I've beaten 7 Dark Notes. Should really play that mode more. Just got too caught up with playing Ultimate Scores. Hoping to Perfect Chain (and record) another one later today.
The amount of things to do in this game is crazy...

Really loved the demo, I wish I could play with Terras theme in the demo too. But I noticed that the difficulty is high, even on normal.
Best FF game since FFCC.

really wish itd've come stateside already...wondering if i should hold out for rhythm thief or find a deal on this one!
I'm sorry to hear that.
It seems the nearby stores couldn't break the street date, so today is the day I get to play this marvelous game. I can't wait.
