I bet it WILL be awesome, but I don't think it will sell well. TWEWY, for sure.
I just can't get used to those eyes. O_O
Holy crap that is great.

Theatrythm Final Fantasy screens look super pretty
Try typing "Theatrythm" ten times in quick succession and see how many times you spell it right. I'm willing to bet not many. Bloody Square Enix and its ludicrous game names. Anyway, here are some fresh screens for the upcoming 3DS rhythm game, showing off field and battle areas. The game looks incredibly pretty, and with over fifty songs promises, this is shaping up to be a really exciting little game. It's been ages since I've been truly excited about a Square Enix. Who'd have thought it'd take a 3DS music game to kickstart the love engine? Crazy. [via andriasang] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Could this be the TWEWY of the 3DS? A little known game by SE that receives critical acclaim yet mediocre sales? Also, music? This directly appeals to my weakness for all things adorable, and my love for music games. Bring it on Square Enix, I'm going to love the shit out of this game. Call me crazy but i'm actually excited about this game. One of the best things about the FF series is the music. I'm with you on this Jim. I'm surprised I'm interested in this so much, but then again the music is one of the few things about Final Fantasy that hasn't been ruined.......yet. Yup, can't wait for this game. This and Heroes of Ruin, while I know next to nothing about them, are topped on my most anticipated 3DS games list. What are the chances of this coming to the US? Since, you know, the system is region locked for no reason >.> Don't want to be a pain in the ass but can I point out that you missed the 't' in this phrase, "and is ludicrous game names." Perhaps you should consider an early night Jim? (Two errors in a row is very unlike you) @ NoJ87- Every final Fantasy game ever made for Nintendo portables (that I know of) has made it to the US, so if history is any indicator, we're all set. "I will be incredibly shocked if this game turns out to be anything less than awesome."
I bet it WILL be awesome, but I don't think it will sell well. TWEWY, for sure. This game will be good for the music alone. All they have to do is not screw up the gameplay, and it really should be awesome. I need to know, Jim: was your misspelling of "Theatrhythm" a subtle jab or a legitimate error? Because lol. I'd be shocked if this didn't get a US release, especially with the way Square-Enix has been pushing their music over here recently. It's a good think they don't rely on Nintendo of America to publish their stuff over here. This looks quite nice, although since they're going for a chibi art style, I wish they'd make the characters look more like they do in the Itadaki Street series and less than in Kingdom Hearts mobile.
I just can't get used to those eyes. O_O Will there be a scene where Sephiroth stabs Aeris to the beat of a dirge? If so,a lot of Cloud/Sephiroth pairing fans out there would love this game so hard if there is. "Will there be a scene where Sephiroth stabs Aeris to the beat of a dirge?

Holy crap that is great. Making Final Fantasy, a series with mind blowing music, into a music game? I'm sold.
