Day 40 of 100 Happy Gaming Days: Final Fantasy Theatrhythm

Final Fantasy Theatrhythm is, to my knowledge, one of the more trickier 3DS games to find for a reasonable price. Luckily I came across a copy in a pawn shop yesterday so I certainly wasn't going to leave it.

Theatrhythm celebrates the wonderful music of the Final Fantasy series, and while I'm not a fan of Squeenix's flagship franchise, I regard their soundtracks as some of the most influential video game compositions of all time.




Theatrhythm is a rhythm based game, with a levelling up system that I'm struggling to understand, and it sees you tapping your stylus in time with the music while scenes from the Final Fantasy series play in the background. There's no shortage of goodies to unlock with a virtual card collection depicting characters and monsters from the series, trophies for clearing certain requirements and naturally unlockable tracks that can be played in Theatrhythm's music player.

Final Fantasy: Theatrhythm is a certainly worth picking up whether you're a Final Fantasy fan, or simply a music lover, and it's definitely one of the better games I've found for 3DS. The sequel 'Curtain Call' will be arriving in September 2014 and it's going to be exciting to see (and hear), where the series takes us next. Here's hoping that Square Enix might even consider expanding Theatrhythm into their other franchises (e.g. Chrono Trigger or the Mana series), but we'll just have to wait and see.
