Theatryhthm Details Revealed

None

A week ago, we ran a story about an upcoming rhythm game/RPG called Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy. Square-Enix thought that it would be a good idea to stuff all our favorite Final Fantasy heroes into a music game, and RPG fans everywhere locked themselves in their rooms, curled into balls, and cried.

However, we are here to tell you that it isn’t that bad. The game will be developed by indieszero, the Tokyo-based studio that brought us Electroplankton. Recently, Square and indieszero released a few details about the upcoming rhythm RPG, and it actually sounds kind of fun.



First of all, the game revolves around some sort of party mechanic. You have to form a squad of four members composed of classic Final Fantasy characters from across the entire franchise. There are four different rhythm game modes to play, each representing a different aspect of JRPGs. So there is a rhythm game for walking on the field, a rhythm game for getting into battle, and even a rhythm game for being involved in a cinematic event.

Even cooler is the game’s supposed track-list. We aren’t going to be playing the same old U2 songs over and over again in Theatrhythm. Instead, we’ll get to play remixes of Final Fantasy themes of old. Currently announced tracks include “Clash on the Big Bridge” from Final Fantasy V, “One Winged Angel” from Final Fantasy VII, “At Zanarkand” from Final Fantasy X, and “The Sunleth Waterscape” from Final Fantasy XIII.
