Nice, I hope we get more music from other games as well. I still play theaterhythm from time to time too

 

[Seven Force]

Huh. Awesome.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Is that Benjamin next to Vivi??

Would be great, but it's really hard to see.

 

[rjc571]

I have one. I would prefer to play it on vita.

Is that a problem?

You'd rather play Theatrhythm on a capacitive touch screen with your finger blocking the action? That kind of is a problem.

 

[dinosaur_hunter2]

Very nice, will buy it day one.

 

[djtiesto]

SE actually does something right? Wow...

Sounds great, I hope they use more graphics from the original games too.

 

[Dark Schala]

It really isn't. Most of the touch inputs in other rhythm games for Arcades, iOS, Android, and Vita are generally short unless they're hold notes, and the action isn't usually missed.

See: ReRave, Cytus, DJMAX, Sega Maimai. Either way, more complicated rhythm games require concentration on synchronizing the missing beats that you're playing with the rest of music. That's really what I'd wanted out of the original Theatrhythm: more difficulty and note-filling in on behalf of the player as opposed to quickly touching/holding single notes. Ah well.

Well, it's apparently a problem to you.

 

[Bronetta]

Theatrhythm is still my most played 3DS game and I loved it enough to unlock everything. Day 1 for me.

If the first Theatrhythm got localized, this will as well. I remember the chances were pretty slim then and it didn't exactly light up the sales chart yet it still got localized. If not, Nintendo can always localize it.

Nah

Well, it's apparently a problem to you.

Yes it is.

 

[ArtHands]

Problem is you can't play this game (and the first game) on the vita.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

If it comes across as port begging, it usually is a problem in these threads.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Can't they port this to Vita??

Cheezus.

Be careful, while it sucks all of us can't experience all games on all systems, port begging is a bannable offense around these parts.

 

[Teknoman]

It's in next week's Jump. Brand new sequel. 200+ tracks, 60+ characters, new Versus Battle Mode, releasing in Japan in Spring 2014.

Day one...whenever it hits the states.

 

[Shadow780]

At least Curtain Call makes sense.

 

[wrowa]

The engine is already equipped to handle battle screens and characters moving through 3D environments (albeit only sidescrolling atm). It shouldn't be too difficult for them to convert it to a full JRPG engine.

There's still no reason why they would go the extra mile when they already have a good 3DS RPG engine on their hands.

 

[jono95]

Yes yes YES.

Theatrhythm is my favourite 3DS game, I spent so much time getting every last unlockable and levelling all the characters.

I wonder if this one will have the EMS stages? It seemed a lot of people didn't like those stages, I did though.

 

[Jotamide]

JUST GIVE ME THE MYSTIC FOREST SE AND YOU CAN HAVE ALL MY MONEY.

 

[Grampasso]

Yay! My copy of the first one was stolen along with the 3DS ç_ç

 

[Hero of Legend]

Fantastic that SE is finally bringing out a decent amount of 3DS games. Though all are sequels to their earlier games.

So far we have:

Dragon Quest Monsters 2r
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call
Bravely Default for the Sequel
Bravely Default 2 (confirmed, just not properly unveiled yet)

Now where is Final Fantasy 5r and a god damn Chocobo game SE?! Get Hand to bring the Wii Chocobo Dungeon game with all the DS's + version's extra content, that'll work.

 

[sixteen-bit]

JUST GIVE ME THE MYSTIC FOREST SE AND YOU CAN HAVE ALL MY MONEY.

love that track so much

 

[Jucksalbe]

Now where is Final Fantasy 5r and a god damn Chocobo game SE?!

Was that Chocobo Racing 3DS game ever officially cancelled? I haven't heard anything about that in a long time.

Edit: Ha.

They probably canceled Chocobo Racing 3D

Only seen at 3DS launch. Has since disappeared into the Void.

Edited my post!

 

[Hero of Legend]

I know, I was looking forward to Chocobo Racing 3D. I don't see that being magically revived. But damn it I love the little guy, Dungeon on Wii was fantastic.

 

[linko9]

Wow, this is great news! The first game was excellent, I've put in over 100 hours. Really hope this comes to NA.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I hope some of the iOS features, like quests and the song editor, make it into this version. Those were excellent.

Also, the trademark for the name being issued in the US gives me some hope. Some, not much.

 

[KiTA]

I think it did around 50k during its launch month, so it likely crawled to at least 100k LTD by now.

And my point was if they were going to localize the game for a future iOS release anyway given their new mobile-centric strategy, a lot of that work could apply to multiple platforms.

If it only sold 50k first month, that's Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 numbers, which both Nintendo and Square Enix considered a big enough flop to seemingly end the franchise in the west.

We are not getting Theatrhythm FF CC.

 

[MagiusNecros]

We are not getting Theatrhythm FF CC.

Why release in Japan if it sold more in the west if I recall?

 

[Roto13]

I'm so there.

And capacitative touch screens suck.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

The budgets are not the same (and I would wager a guess Theatrhythm had a smaller budget). That's why 50k for one game is not necessarily the same as 50k for another game.

 

[Platy]

Is that Benjamin next to Vivi??

Looks like Ramza

 

[MagiusNecros]

Looks like Ramza

Ramza is at top right.

 

[brandonh83]

Holy crap, the subtitle makes sense. No math involved.

 

[ULTROS!]

200 tracks eh.

Pls. include the piano collections too, thanks.

 

[Platy]

Ramza is at top right.

Sorry for being blind xD

Yes, almost sure that is Benjamin.

 

[AniHawk]

wow. actually surprised this is a traditional gaming system game.

 

[Crayons]

YES



SHIT

Yeah, I know the first one was FF, obviously, but I was hoping for more franchises to join in. Specifically, Chrono Trigger and The World Ends With You.

Why did you have to say that?
Now I can never die happy.

 

[Hours Left]

This makes me soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy.

And 60+ characters? *faints* For the love of all things holy, please include FFXIV Cid!!!

 

[ghibli99]

Nice! I still have some unfinished business with the first 3DS game.

 

[shadowkat]

YES!

Will buy. Loved the first one.

 

[Boogiepop]

Here's hoping we can get some Crystal Chronicles music in here. I LOVE that soundtrack.

 

[friskykillface]

whoa great news, loved the first one and was hoping a sequel would get made

thank you based square enix

 

[Reveirg]

I guess it's time to cut S-E a little slack. They are more dedicated to true handhelds than we give them credit for.

That comment is pure ironic gold considering the FF Agito iOS announcement made a few hours after.

(For the record, I would've said the same thing before.)

 

[Celegus]

It's still under 100k through July.

Maaaaan that is so messed up. That's it?! For the best rhythm game ever made? I would've thought it much higher based on the amount of streetpasses I get for this compared to my other games.

I really hope it comes to the west. It's not like there's that much to localize, so it can't be that expensive aside from publishing costs.

So I guess the person between Bartz and Vaan is a FFXIV character

 

[Exentryk]
