When you thought Dissidia 012[duodecim]: Final Fantasy wasn't enough of a mouthful to say, wait until you say this.

Square Enix is currently developing Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for the Nintendo 3DS. This information comes straight from a Jump Magazine. Other than that, there isn't much information currently. We should expect more news on this game at the Tokyo Game Show.

It would seem to be completely different to Dissidia Final Fantasy, which is a fighting based game. Theatrhythm seems to be a party-based RPG featuring the protagonists of Final Fantasy. You can clearly see Lightning, Onion Knight, Warrior of Light and Cloud fighting together as a party in one of the magazine's screenshots.

a spin-off to a spin-off to a long running series. What can be more confusing? :mad:

It looks interesting and creative. Probably, a 'perfect' will cause higher damage to monster. a 'miss' will cause damage to the character on that row, etc. Glad that the songs are from the FF series. But I don't plan on buying a 3DS anyway. I am also really bad at rhythm games.

Seriously though, they should really decrease the amount of spin-offs they are making, IMO.
 
You can read Japanese XD ok if the songs are from the ff series that kool...

The character design are unlockable icons in dissidia duodecim soo all the cosmos characters should be in it

Lol I wish XD

I can't read Japanese. I read this article a few hours ago, but from a different source which has extra info:
http://www.finalfantasy.net/theatrythym/heartrythym-final-fantasy-takes-dissidia-3ds/

Apparently the author translated some bits from the article. It mentioned that it will feature music from the FF series. It also says that the story is about retaining of the light of the crystal.

About how the game works, it was just my guess. Like if you fail to press the button on time, you receive damage? or it could be a totally different gameplay mechanism.
 
Thanks ill update the first post later :)
 
Lol. It looks like Dissidia the musical. It sounded interesting, but then as soon as saw the Dissidia 012 troop, the excitement was lost. Come on SE, be more creative with characters and add in some new guys. Bring in some Minwu, Maria, Irvine, Rinoa, Garnet etc. :jtc:

I don't think it's going to sell well over here, not many people in the Western world go for the chibi look, and I'm the same. It looks like a game for babies. -__-
 
So this was the game that Nomura was teasing at? Oh goodness me, I can't even pronounce that, so I won't bother. I'll just call it the Dissidia Musical. Love that ridiculous logo though. :rofl:

This could either be the most amazing idea ever conceived, or the worst idea ever. Still, it's uhh, an interesting idea...I guess? Too bad it sounds as appealing to me now as another seagull taking a dump on my car.
 
:srsly:

For crying out loud! Can they do nothing right these days? What next? Final Fantasy sports, perhaps? Final Fantasy contests, where you dress up the characters and have them use flashy moves to appeal to judges? Final Fantasy connect four?

...and worse, its for the 3DS. Why does the 3DS have to be saddled with the chibified musical/rhythm/shit Final Fantasy game?! Why can't they make a serious and original RPG like 4 Heroes of Light was, instead of just shoving off the crappy doodles they draw in their spare time (which they no doubt have a lot of, being busy as they are committing financial suicide and teasing at games that they'll probably never release in the end) onto it? The only possible way this could even remotely work is if they shamelessly copy Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, with Ultros as the protagonist.

Something tells me Onion Knight being dead and the Behemoth screaming in agony is going be something along the lines of the typical reaction if its a musical game. I would ask what the hell they're thinking, but it is quite obvious that thinking is something that Square Enix no longer does. I'm amazed they don't all walk into work with their socks on their hands and platinum-pink wigs on, with "I R LIGHTNING" painted on their overly hairy barrell chests.

I pray, to any and every deity that will listen, that this is never brought to Western shores. We don't get a lot of games the Japanese get. Please, please, PLEASE let this be one of them. Critics hate JRPGs anyway. Pay attention to them, just this one time. You're already releasing FFXIII-2, I think that is sufficient punishment for the West. The 3DS is suffering enough right now with a shortage of good games and nothing but barely enhanced ports of games so overrated they have their own fucking cults, we don't need Final Fantasy DDR: The Musical cluttering it up as well.

...and, on a minor note, Liv Liv, I take it back. You are nowhere NEAR as terrifying as a chibified Lightning.

Sometimes there's just no pleasing you people. You ask for something new and different from Final Fantasy and when they do that, you shit all over it.
In fact, you don't even know anything about the game, so why don't you reserve judgement till after you play it? I swear, some of you are just looking for reasons to hate on everything. Why are you even here if you're clearly not a Final Fantasy fan anymore?
 
Did Anyone else besides me notice that these character's in the game were in our Duodecim game's the chibi avatars = these things if you look close enough...

Aside from this I dislike this,Dissidia and Duodecim were awesome why insult it by making it a kiddy game now...I doubt kids can even pronounce the bloody name..
 
Oh god this is bad.... like real bad. If this is the new game they were teasing... just ugh. So it is like Dissidia musical style. This is a bad start for Final Fantasy on 3DS in my opinion. I do not like the sound of it.... and the title is what? Why does it look like such a kiddy spinoff? Yes because Chibi Dissidia characters are fun.... I am not impressed at all, Square Enix. How about you just finish Versus before you announce Final Fantasy party or some shit like that.
 
SE News = post count section. So if you're just going to spam, go somewhere else.

As I recall, people are more interested in asking for a decent project from them, be it a main series entry or a spinoff, but typically the former considering the frequent disdain for random spinoffs. Has anyone ever asked for Dissidia Musical anyway, it sounds like it totally came out of the blue. Well, I've no real desire to "shit over" this game as I know I won't be getting it, and if this does sound like it will be right up someone's alley, people are cool with that.

In fact, you don't even know anything about the game, so why don't you reserve judgement till after you play it?
Which I won't. If a game immediately looks like it isn't for you, then you shouldn't have to get it and play it to come to that conclusion.

On that note, I have no idea who would buy this anyway. While I give them credit for trying with something new(ish), SE seems to be a little muddled with who their audience seems to be once again.

Because even by looking at the scans, the screenshots look as if the game is meant for a three year old. You don't need to have played the game to realise how bad this game is going to be, this game will be Square-Enix in a nutshell these days, all money and little quality like many of their recent releases. If you're happy with them releasing games for little kids then you're very much welcome to that opinion, but I for one would wish they would not.

Did you think the same thing about Wind Waker before it was released? All I'm saying is judging a game without seeing even gameplay footage is fucking stupid. Not to mention the fact that Square Enix has no history making games, especially Final Fantasy games, for "three year olds". The fact that it's characters from games released as far back as 25 years ago probably means it's not for little kids. The game could suck, or it could be awesome, you (and the others) are certainly jumping the gun.
And again, if you think Square Enix is bad these days, why are you wasting all your time talking about games you claim to hate on a message board? Don't you have anything better to do?
 
It's just...I just...they just...just...

Fuck.

Make ONE damn game. Make ONE game. Make it good. Fuck all the side projects, fuck whatever else. Focus. Make a good game. I'm sick to fucking death of Square Enix and their bullshit. They're a bullshit company that is completely out of touch with all of their fans.

You're entitled to your opinion, but do you have to insult others for theirs?

Judging games based off of screenshots and preliminary information is hardly "fucking stupid" because it's fairly obvious from that screenshot and title what the game is going to be like. I can't remember the last time I saw a game with a completely new interface, and Siliconera has confirmed how the game is going to play. You don't always need gameplay footage to judge whether or not a game is going to be any good - if it doesn't look appealing, the chances are it isn't going to be. The fact of the matter is, to me (and others) it doesn't look appealing, and we have plenty of information to base that view off of. If it isn't enough for you and you want to reserve your judgement, fine. But it's up to us when we cast ours.

The game could suck, or it could be awesome, you (and the others) are certainly jumping the gun.
Perhaps, perhaps not. In my opinion at least, Square Enix have not been performing recently up to a good standard, and I think it's reasonable to assume that this game is going to be absolutely godawful, because every other Square Enix game in recent memory has been just that, and first impressions are quite often accurate: if it doesn't look impressive, chances are it isn't going to be. I don't only mean that graphically - because FFXIII has shown to me that graphics are the only thing SE cares about these days - but in every other element as well.

An FF game that plays like a rhythm game hardly inspires confidence, and it doesn't take much to figure out what the gameplay is going to be like from those static screenshots, and the descriptions given. Perhaps the game will have a gimmick to set it apart from other games of the genre, but rhythm games in general do not appeal to me, and a Final Fantasy themed one does not change that. That is my assessment and, contrary to what you may believe, I am not just hating on it for the sake of it, and I don't believe others who share my view are either.

If you don't like it, that's fine; as I said, you're entitled to your opinion. But we're entitled to ours as well. I don't recall myself, Ryan or anyone else asking you to agree with us. Please, don't insult us just because you don't share our opinion.

I just thought I'd make my stance clear, since you're indirectly attacking me for not sharing your view as well. I'm disgusted with Square Enix's recent performance, and this game looks to be no different, hence my opinion. I have reasons for my judgement, I've stated them, and I would have been quite happy to leave it at that, although if you wanted to discuss it in a civil manner, I would have been quite happy to do that as well.

I don't see how a "why are you still here, then?" argument comes into it, because there is no rule saying that you have to like the games to be on a forum discussing them, nor do I see why you had to resort to insults, when nobody has been attacking you. If you don't like differences of opinion, perhaps you should start a fanclub for the game and post in there.

It's useless comparing Zelda to Final Fantasy, people always expect great things from Zelda and Nintendo nearly always meet peoples' expectations of a Zelda game. Square-Enix do not.

It's human nature; the game just happens to look woeful based on the screenshots.

Not to mention the fact that Square Enix has no history making games, especially Final Fantasy games, for "three year olds".
I never said they did, I said it looks as if it's meant for three year olds and if they are going down that route and your happy with it, that's fine by me. I rather they didn't, though.

The fact that it's characters from games released as far back as 25 years ago probably means it's not for little kids.
That doesn't mean anything, I could name a whole host of Nintendo characters that were created in the 80s and 90s and still going strong.

The game could suck, or it could be awesome, you (and the others) are certainly jumping the gun.
Are you not doing the same thing by defending it? Just because you're on the opposite end of the spectrum doesn't mean your not doing the same thing as I am. If you didn't care about the game you'd just take peoples' comments on the chin and wouldn't be defending it.

And again, if you think Square Enix is bad these days, why are you wasting all your time talking about games you claim to hate on a message board? Don't you have anything better to do?
Please tell me the last time I discussed Final Fantasy outside of the news section and SB. A lot of people aren't here for Square-Enix tripe and are here because they like to socialise with other people in the SB. In fact, the Final Fantasy section is probably one of the least dominant sections on the forum.
