I LOVED the first one so this is exciting news for me!

 

[Rizsparky]

Awesome, loved the predecessor.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Holla.

oops.

 

[Javier]

What they really need to do is raise the Rhythmia cap. For all the stuff you could do in the first game, the 99,999 cap is reached way too early.

 

[Sadist]

I'm pretty sure the game sold well in Japan, and 37k first month may seem low, but I guess it's a kind of game that doesn't take much resources to make.

Yeah, S-E undershipped in Japan and it sold well. I'm just hoping for a western release, that's all. I remember the original being hard to get.

 

[Stuart444]

Awesome, loved the first one

 

[silver.tongue]

Legit question, why don't these games release on Vita? Damn..

 

[daripad]

Legit question, why don't these games release on Vita? Damn..

3DS has a bigger userbase :/

 

[Caelestis]

This is very exciting for me. Hope this time around if you equip stuff you can still use special moves and summons unlike before.

 

[Data West]

Where's my Dragon Quest theatrhythm

 

[Aostia]

Yeah, S-E undershipped in Japan and it sold well. I'm just hoping for a western release, that's all. I remember the original being hard to get.

it sold more than 150K for sure, in Japan. considering how the recycled a lot of music and artworks (froma mobile game maybe? don't remember) I can see why they are pushing another episode out

 

[AndyMoogle]

Are they all new tracks? Or does it include the original's?

I'm expecting all songs from the last game, including the DLC songs, plus another 70-80 new songs. They have to take at least some songs from the first game, because they've used most battle songs already for example. Unless they choose to go with only spin-offs.

 

[Ludist210]

Awesome news! I really enjoyed Theatrhythm, looking forward to this as well.

Legit question, why don't these games release on Vita? Damn..

Because playing a game designed for the touchscreen with the touchpad would be a nightmare.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Get hype!

 

[Chairhome]

In your face, all 3DS naysayers

I'm excited. Even though I haven't played it as much as I should have, I love the game cause I love the music so much. Hopefully we get some remastered tracks instead of the "straight from the game" ones.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Not for iOS? color me shocked,

 

[Vyse The Legend]

duckroll was wrong. All is right with the world.

I need this in the West.

 

[Acosta]

Fantastic news!

Hope all of you have your Japanese 3DS ready

Spoiler

Nah, just joking, I think it will come even if the first one was not too hot in sales

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

For those wishing for an iOS version I think there are high chances that S-E will put all the new songs as DLC on iTunes.

 

[hat_hair]

The only issue I really had in the original game was the lack of variety in the random challenge songs, because they were the best way to grind by miles, but I eventually got sick of the same songs coming up constantly.

Hopefully this massive song list makes that better.

 

[Forkball]

I thought I was cured from the stlyus clawhand, but that dream can never be.

There's a ton of music they could put into this. The first game had great tracks, but there were certainly a lot of favorites missing.

[BlazingDarkness]

Huh? Vita has a touch screen. The decision to not put it on Vita has nothing to do with that.

They're adding a Type 0 character? Hmm.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Holy shit.

I am literally fucking shocked to all hell and back that this is for 3DS o____O

I was 100% sure this is for mobile!

 

[Negator]

Holy shit, SE is still making 3DS games? I am shocked.

Knowing SE it probably won't be localized though.

 

[mugurumakensei]

also after this, get to work on Theatrhythm Dragon Quest and Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts Square Enix

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Holy shit, SE is still making 3DS games? I am shocked.

Knowing SE it probably won't be localized though.

Don't say stuff like that, man.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I've been meaning to get the original, I guess I'll get this instead.

 

[Tnetennba]

Oh fuck yes. I honestly thought this would just get shoved onto iOS. 3DS release is amazing news, the first is easily one of the best games on the console.

Really hope this comes to EU.

Eh, dat FF Type 0-2 3DS sort of rumour from 2ch starts becoming a little more realistic than before

Spoiler

I know it's 99% bogus, but there's always that 1% of probability, and that's enough for believing, no? XD

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I feel like I read somewhere that this tanked in Japan, but did better in the West.

Maybe, I dreamt it.

 

[MagiusNecros]

They're adding a Type 0 character? Hmm.

First game added a DLC Type 0 song as well. Which released in all regions. Alongside a XV song known as Somnus when it was still Versus XIII.

 

[bumpkin]

Day. Fucking. One.

Theatrhythm was a pleasant surprise for me, I honestly didn't expect it to grab me like it did and command so much of my gaming time. I'm pretty sure I've logged more hours playing FFT than I have any other 3DS games, including Nintendo-made juggernauts like OOT3D, Mario 3D Land, and Luigi's Mansion; and that says a lot, because I love all of those games.

The only part of FFT that fell on its face for me was the Street Pass stuff. I rarely got any during the game's heyday.

 

[mugurumakensei]

It did well in Japan and the West considering it didn't cost much to develop. Localization was easy. There's not much going on in the graphics department. Lots of things are reused from old titles. So, it was likely very cheap for SE to develop.

 

[PixyJunket]

I got like two hundred, heh.

 

[Muzy72]

PLEASE be on the eShop on US!! THis game is PERFECT for digital!

 

[zroid]

WOW!

would never have expected 3DS

 

[HawthorneKitty]

As long as there is a bigger Lightning presence

 

[Reknoc]

FFXIV looks to be in. I can see Y'shtola in the scan.

 

[sixteen-bit]

How was the iOS version of the first one compared to 3DS?

Balthier is there, so that means FFXII Portable for 3DS is confirmed!

Spoiler

Just let me dream

 

[MagiusNecros]

You are right. Mistook that one for Prishe. Changing my previous post. Thanks.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

3DS?

 

[EatChildren]

Like this won't come to iOS.

Couldn't give a shit about Final Fantasy any more, but Theatrhythm was good shit. Will buy sequel.

 

[Damo Yoshi]

YES.

YES.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[mugurumakensei]

Like this won't come to iOS.

Couldn't give a shit about Final Fantasy any more, but Theatrhythm was good shit. Will buy sequel.

It will just 6 months to a year after with song price rape.

 

[Effect]

Nice. Here's hoping this version is actually put on the eShop.

 

[Glass Rebel]

How was the iOS version of the first one compared to 3DS?

It had serious lag on my 4S but at least they took the EMS out.

 

[Maxim726X]

How did the first one sell in the states?

Should we expect a Western release? Still play the first one from time to time.

 

[Midou]

Not sure what you mean by this, playing on the Vita touch screen is no different than playing on an iPhone or Android device.

Hell, this game would work 100% even on the PS4 touchpad, all you need is tap, scroll and hold. Can't imagine anyone who played it thinking otherwise.
