Plus, Iwata Asks: Vol. 12: THEATRHYTHM FINAL FANTASY

Post your demo impressions as well

Neiteio · Jun 22, 2012

In US, too? Can't be arsed to boot up 3DS.

hatchx · Jun 22, 2012

Damn, wish we got Therythm demo up in NA too.

BocoDragon · Jun 22, 2012

North America?

Effect · Jun 22, 2012

We got Kingdom Hearts instead. Which is weird because Theatrhythm comes out first on July 3rd. Kingdom Hearts comes out at the end of July on the 31st. We should have gotten a Theatrhythm demo.

Robin64 · Jun 22, 2012

Stuck in an airport waiting lounge that doesn't have free WiFi (I know, what the hell?), so downloading via my iPhone over 3G.

Been HYPED for this game, a demo is awesome news.

Vanillalite · Jun 22, 2012

I don't get why both areas couldn't just get both demos. Is it really that hard?!?!!

No, indeed, it's absolutely ridiculous. Nintendo need to stop clinging on to regions when it comes to digital software.

Fucking lame. Who gives a fuck about KH? I want Theatrhythm!

Seriously. WTF is this bullshit.

Robin64 · Jun 22, 2012

Demo comes with two songs.

The Battle song is The Man with the Machine Gun from FFVIII.
The Field song is Sunleth Waterscape from FFXIII.

Kagari · Jun 22, 2012

I played this at E3. It's so good... ;-;

Not a big fan of either song choice (not super familiar with them) but I'd take in a second if I could. :/

Come on now NA

ZOMG to hell with god damn region-exclusive content. (T_T)

Kagari · Jun 22, 2012

Same songs in the JP version.

The E3 demo was the full game I think...
I played Suteki da ne and Ronfaure... it seriously made me want to cry it was so good.

You aren't helping. :/

At least July 3rd is close.

What she said

It's only two songs (luckily one of them is Man with the machine gun) but man... I went from "will buy eventually" to "ZOMG I WANT IT NOW"

Considering music is the one thing that Square Enix is doing just fine in these days.. I really think a rhythm game is the perfect Final Fantasy product for our era

Heropon · Jun 22, 2012

I've tried it, July 6th can't come soon enough!

EDIT: Maybe I'm bad at this, but I get destroyed on the hardest difficulty.

Hey now, they still know how to make pretty visuals.

But yeah, cannot wait to play this. Between this and KH3D, It's so weird to see an SE spin-off that doesn't feel like a disappointing cash-in.

Beth Cyra · Jun 22, 2012

Man With a Machine Gun was a great choice. Loved that track. I actually decided not to play it till I got the full thing from Amazon though, but it sucks other NA's can't try it out.

Aru · Jun 22, 2012

Nice. Downloading this just after finishing KH3D's demo.

Grabbing it now. Happy days!

Yea. Apparently NA got KH3D, EU got THEATRYTHM. Then EU also got KH3D. If only the pattern would continue.

Heh, yeah; out of the two, this is the demo that I actually want to play, and it's the game that I'm more likely to purchase out of the two July games.

Booourns. *shakes fist at 3DS region-locking*

AJSousuke · Jun 22, 2012

maybe they're saving it for next thursday?

DXB-KNIGHT · Jun 22, 2012

NOA this more than the KH demo

JordanKZ · Jun 22, 2012

Just played it. Holy shit.
As a person who loves FF music and rhythm games like Osu! this game is pretty amazing.

Jintor · Jun 22, 2012

Sweet, didn't know the Theatrhythm demo was available too

Perfo · Jun 22, 2012

I went trying this thinking KH was the DEMO that would make my day, I was wrong. Theatrhythm seems absolutely fun and original, can't wait to play more of it. The only bad side? I'm really bad with rhythm games!

Jintor · Jun 22, 2012

Man. This is... this is pretty damn good. Different to Osu! but just as addictive, possibly even more Frenetic.

speedpop · Jun 22, 2012

Yeah. I really love it and glad that my personal hype for it was redeemed via playing the demo. The thing I love most is that Square Enix could've really fucked this up, but they hit the ball out of the park and over the railroad.

Aced the first two difficulties on both songs, but Ultimate difficulty was intense. And I'm not ashamed to state that this is one game that I am going to break the wallet for DLC. Looking forward to the full game.

Now all I ask for is a Dragon Quest-inspired release.

Jintor · Jun 22, 2012

Ultimate difficult is PRETTY FUCKING DIFFICULT GUYS

slaughterking · Jun 22, 2012

Alright, this game rocks. :3

Hours Left · Jun 22, 2012

I wanna play.

slaughterking · Jun 22, 2012

Man, this game you guys. It's really good.

It even justifies FFXIIIs existence.

They did say they wanted to do followup games based on DQ/SaGa, let's hope they follow through.

I like what I am hearing. But NoA doesn't like me! ;_;

slaughterking · Jun 22, 2012

Gosh, I wish this game was just a little cheaper. I swear I will buy a bunch of your DLC, SE, but don't make pay 40 bucks for the main game.

trinest · Jun 22, 2012

The game was fun but I didn't get much enjoyment out of it as I don't really like Final Fantasy music.

slaughterking · Jun 22, 2012

Can't believe how fun this game is. It's no Ouendan, but it still doesn't have any right to be this good. :3
