I'm glad to see that EMS stages have been improved but I'm worried about the first person perspective from the BMS stages, it looks way harder than the current format from TFFCC, I hope both styles can be found in game.
I really like the new EMS. Might actually be playable. I also like what they did with the slide triggers.
New BMS looks nauseating. And I've played DDR for years so I'm used to the top-down flow. It's that angled perspective that's killing me.
God, I wish there was a Theatrhythm for everything I love. I want every game OST to be playable.
I'm still waiting for my Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts, Square. Would pay lots of money for that. This looks fun so I might pick it up, even though my experience with Dragon Quest is very little outside of Rocket Slime.

Not the orchestrated tracks?!?!?!
FUUUUUUUUUCK!
Just played through both songs in the demo for myself. The BMS stage actually felt easier DQ than in FF. I think that's due to th notes falling vertically as opposed to horizontally. It was easier for my eyes to track.
Now I just need to decide which version to get; eShop or Retail. eShop version works out to $51.25 if the current yen to dollar conversion holds. But Play-Asia is only asking $49.99 for a copy. Once you add shipping your only paying an extra $14 for a physical copy.
And aren't there some first print bonuses? 3DS themes I think? Are those for all first print retail copies, like a pack-in? Or are they retailer exclusive? Would the eShop version include those bonuses?
The game has no 3D. Fuck off Square Enix
I'd go with the physical just because of the DLC factor and space concerns.
By the way, in case it wasn't reported, all of the DLC for this game will be free.
Same. I love it so much.God, I wish there was a Theatrhythm for everything I love. I want every game OST to be playable.

That's an interesting tactic.

On one hand, I never used it in both TT because it was waaay too distracting and they might even be churning this out on the cheap. On the other, very shitty thing to do for people who enjoyed the 3D effect. With the n3DS out, the 30 fps vs 60 fps shouldn't even be a concern at this point.

Theatrhythm FF runs at 60 fps with 3D enabled on 3DS, so the framerate shouldn't have been an issue regardless.
I think its for lowering used games sales. They are doing the same thing for Dragon Quest Heroes.
Can you explain how it would lower used game sales? Can you not just sell the cartridge to someone who then downloads all the free DLC to their system, or does the way DLC works on the 3DS prevent that somehow? I know it's tied to the system, but I don't think it would straight up prevent you from getting it with the same cart.
DLC in all 3DS games AFAIK can only be accessed through the respective games. Nintendo's "account system" is so rudimentary that it won't even let you buy free content from the eShop.
I think it's more as a thing of prolonging the game's life, like DQH. Less people will sell the game if there's still free (and good) content coming their way.
It's a good strategy, and always nice to see more games with free DLC.

That is more to do with the fact they didn't want people buying DLC for games they did not own which has got nothing to do with an account system.DLC in all 3DS games AFAIK can only be accessed through the respective games.

But the EMS stages could only run in 30 fps with 3D on, which was probably why they added so little of them (and the old ones didn't even come back).
Real talk, I think the BMS phases are better 'feeling' than in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.
I agree that you have slightly less time to react, but I don't think it's harder per se, just something you need to get used to. I personally liked the change in perspective. Something about it felt more tactile compared to TFF in my opinion.It's really really cool but I had issues with it. I had a few times where I had no idea how quickly the notes were coming and missed them entirely.
That said, I'm excited for it. I'll wait to see if it's localized before importing. The localization news should be coming soon but with the free DLC, I'm wondering if they'll bother.
