Massive spoilers, I'm afraid.
There are big spoilers for all games. Every game has one song that has a video running in the background that shows a summary of that game including important cutscenes and final boss fights.
This might be just me, as I've never played rhythm games before and thus need focus really well on the notes as they pass by, but it just went all past me. I've never played XII, but I did play the XII sequence in Theatrhythm, including the event sequence that shows footage from the game, but I still have no clue what the hell is going on.
The OP and ED have some text, but in general I find them way too vague and you can always choose to focus on the crystal and easily avoid reading the text.

Only to a certain extent, I mean I can't tell wtf is going on in the background half the time because I'm so focused on playing the notes.
Why are all the songs in Chaos Shrine just the same handful of songs over and over again? And how do I unlock some of the songs in challenge mode? Like "Something To Protect" from FF9 is the best song ever, but I need to play a shitty song from FF3 before I can play it?
As long as you arent talking about the battle themes or eternal wind.
Doing that now. Leader at 99 with Lv3 EXP Up, three level ones, every BMS, I get between 3-5 levels.
Items are one time use only right? So you need a few of these EXP up things? I'll have to look through my inventory, I'm sure I have something lying around (Have not used a single item yet).
I'll start leveling the new party on ultimate difficulty, I guess these 90+ dark notes should ease me into that quite nicely.
Do the rotating notes only appear in the Dark Notes or will they appear on ultimate too?

I was so so so so sad this wasn't in the game proper. That's one of my favourite boss themes in the series. Oh, I hope it doesn't cut off at my favourite part.
Damn, now that means there are 2 DLCs I want. :|
Oh man, those are crazy. They have driven me bonkers sometimes.

Actually, outside of a few obvious ones (FF7's for example), the scenes are so out of context that you really have no idea it's a spoiler at all.
I was worried that FF12 and FF13 would be ruined for me, but I can't tell what's what in either of them.

Does anyone have a list of all the dlc released in Japan so far?
the EXP items usually, except for the Miratete's Memoirs, will teach the leader of the party the EXP up skill, so you can continually use it. Otherwise it'd take forever to get more characters leveled up.
Alright thanks for the responses guys. I know the plots of 7 and 13, because those are the two that I have finished so far, but I'll probably just end up playing the other major FF games before I pick this up. Even though I know that I will probably be focusing on the notes, I just like to save any type of important scenes/information for the actual game, especially since I have always been intrigued by the series.
Hopefully I can resist the lure

*never played Final Fantasy VIII*
*plays Waltz for the Moon at least 8 times*
What an awesome track. A few of those times were trying to nail Ultimate mode but this game doesn't like my swipes sometimes. :-/

Can't wait for 'Force your Way' to eventually make it into the DLC shop.
Wait..really? My mind has just been blown. How did I not realize this?

Thank GOD!
So I ended up buying a comfort grip and a DSi stylus for use with this friggin game.
Night and day! Some songs I've gotten better at while others I've gotten worse at. However, I think the songs I scored worse on I just need to get into the groove again. What's great is that the stylus and grip don't hurt my wrists, so I can likely play better for longer periods of time. The DSi stylus I got is a lot thicker, so it's easier to grip and longer so I don't have to move so much doing those fucking slides.
Love Amazon! I ordered on a Saturday, I believe. I got the package on Monday with free shipping too!

Haha, yeah. It makes sense since most of the Rinoa/Squall-central themes on that soundtrack is an arrangement of Eyes On Me. Waltz for the Moon, My Mind, Julia, Love Grows... Waltz just isn't super-obvious about it like the others.
Uematsu made a point to make Eyes on Me one of the central focuses on the soundtrack outside of the main theme since Squall and Rinoa were the main characters of the game, and the other characters just took a step back in terms of the musical themes.

I'm S or higher, mostly SS on every non-battle Ultimate song. And I can't pass a single Battls song in ultimate. Guess I'll have to rig up a cure team to cheese my way through em

Does anyone else consistently do awful on EMS stages? I find it really hard to get criticals. Also are there any tips for getting better at the slashes, those mess me up more than anything.

Here's the face melting version.

He's done other FF tracks as well that are just as awesome.

Yeah I was looking for some good versions...I came across this one and got them both. I wish I could find a place for a cleaner version though.
The one I have in my link has a link to dling a clean version of it.

That's my favorite battle song in the game, I love it. Gah, I need this game.

I can't stand the EMS stages. When I was going for SSS in the Basic Courses, that would always give me trouble. Whether its lag, the BPM changes or whatever, it really frustrated me.

How does one access the DLC in the US? The eshop doesn't list the game when you search it's name.
You access it from the game. On the bottom when you start the game up it shows the Store icon.

They're tough...I think I had to rely more on knowing the song than just relying on reflexes. Try to really time it to the music and you'll have better results. I HATE sliding on these stages.
Are you kidding me lol
The only difference is that it's in 3/4 and all... waltzy.
Give it to me nao

I was struggling but then had a breakthrough earlier and passed the first two battle songs on ultimate. They give a lot of exp so I went back and equipped some item that said it vastly increased the amount of exp gained. Passed the first battle song on ultimate again and it gave me around 17k exp. I got many levels from that.
Fuck I need the FFX track. Gimme dat Hamauzu goodness.
The game is in the eShop, although strangely, you have to search for it ("Theatrhythm" worked for me). The DLC list is there under "Add-On Content Information", but it will just boot the game if you want to buy any of them.

The waltziness probably makes it sound different to people with the time signature and flourishes. It's pretty obvious to keen ears that it's part of the Eyes On Me theme set, though, because it involves two of the key figures to which that theme refers.
It just transitions into the Blinded By Light/Lightning's Theme motif.
Parts of it was also used in three separate BGMs, of course (but they aren't that different other than the second one looping the melody of the first, and the third having a similar different introduction, but just transitions into Blinded by Light)
Defiers of Fate (plays during the opening of FFXIII)
Defiers of Fate - Palamecia Assault Version (this is the one that loops during Chapter 9)
Final Fantasy XIII E3 2006 Trailer (with the demo theme "Flash" on a SE compilation CD - transitions into Blinded by Light instead of the Fate version)

There has got to be an easier way to unlock songs in this game. 10+ hours and only two songs unlocked. :/
Well, at 21 hours, I have seven unlocked excluding DLC. Just keep playing and do well for those chain bonuses and rank bonuses. playing series and completing a game. The Openings and closings can net you 300rm alone outside of the actual songs.
