I remember spending my high school years playing Theatrhythm Final fantasy curtain call on 3DS for more than 300 hours on my save data and this announcement is a true love letter to a franchise with so many iconic music
Glad I'm not alone. I'm a little bit older, but also spent 330+ hours on Curtain Call and I regularly go back to it. Got AAA All Critical on all songs DLC included. Stoked for this
This is so exciting. But I damn near flipped my lid when I saw the DLC. Nier, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Mana, etc. This could be the best collection of SquareSoft/Square Enix music, ever.
if you never played a theatrhythm game before, they were all amazing, I bet this one will be great too. you're in for a treat if you like rhythm games.
How are tracks like "To Zanarkand" and "Melodies of Life" digital deluxe version exclusives? These are like some of the most iconic FF songs, they should be in the base game.
@@N..O Well yeah I know what they're doing, I just think it sucks. It's like selling you a pizza and then asking if you want to pay extra to have cheese on it. You pay extra because otherwise it doesn't feel like you got what you paid for in the first place.
I don't they they are in the digital deluxe edition. I think the game just wanted to play more songs while putting written announcements in the background. It's not like the Field Theme to FF2 has anything to do with two people playing at the same time. And if you say "yes it does cause the number 2" that's a big stretch.
@@ShyRanger Nah in the direct they specifically mention the digital deluxe edition comes with "27 extra songs including Melodies of Life." It's not in this video but it's in the direct itself.
Well there are different variations and arrangements as well as remixes of songs, and the potentially medleys. You'll probably hear these songs in some form in the base.
I remember playing Theatrhythm on my 3DS over 6 years ago when I was at the Barbican in London waiting to listen to Final Symphony. The music of FF is very dear to me so this was very welcome news.
I really hope To the Edge is included given the story behind how it was made and just being a really good song alongside the one for the final fight in Shadowbringer's before patches. o.o Curious what all from XI we'll see too :D
I was so bummed when my local arcade that had all-star carnival finally removed that game. I don't like lugging my ds around anymore. I want this in my hands now. 🤩
I hope they still allow for touch controls since my muscle memory from the DS game is based on tapping and not button presses. Also, I hope they still keep the random map quests from Curtain Call, that was the mode that kept me coming back to the game.
@FINAL FANTASY will there be a physical digital delux premium edition/physical collectors edition? I would love to buy one complete copy with all Season Passes included!
This game needs to be ported to Android. I want to be able to use the touch mechanics from my muscle memory on the 3DS one. Also I don't want to buy this on a system that likely won't forward support it and are both on the verge of being phased out.
I am beyond excited for this game, I adore the 3DS titles but if there is a physical release and we miss out on 27 songs because they're in the Digital Deluxe Edition, that's scummy IMO, even if it's digital only, still gotta buy the pricier version which not everyone might not be able to purchase at launch depending on the price, like they might be able to afford the base game at launch but not any DLC yet, the only workaround is if you can buy a Digital Deluxe Upgrade like some games do. Outside of that though, was not expecting to see this announced today, hoping we get a sequel to the Dragon Quest entry in the series as well seeing as we never got the 3DS title outside of Japan unfortunately, was really looking forward to that back when it was announced and would still love to play it or some version of it one day. EDIT: I am aware the DLC will be available to purchase separately but I am talking specifically about the 27 songs in the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Oh my god this is huge !! And now with FFXIV music Im in !!!, NIER, Legend of Mana again, Romancing SaGa my GOD my GOD THEATRHYTHM is back after all this years !!!!! but why no PC QuQ
@@ikanasd810 I always played hybrid, touch and buttons. I'll double dip honestly if it comes to SD. Anddddd if we are being honest half the DLC will be feeling like triple dipping if you include curtain call and dlc such as Crono Trigger ect...
XIV is about to get a shitload more players after people hear its OST. Finally showing past ARR (except the characters still stuck in ARR outfits annoyingly)
I've been WAITING for this!! I loved the first two Final Fantasy theatrythym games so much, I cannot fully express my excitement at the prospect of a new one to play 😍😍😍😍🌟🌟🌟🌟
I really hope the digital deluxe exclusive songs will be available for the physical release buyers. I want to be able to play Zanarkand without having to download the game when I prefer physical copies
I swear if this game includes the Xenogears tracks from Theatrhythm All-Star Carnival I will cry. Thank you for finally giving this series the console treatment SQEX
I played the crap out of this on the 3D. Back then, I hadn't played XIV yet and the game had like 1 XIV song. Now that I have and its my favorite FF game of all time, this version has some good XIV picks. Kinda glad I didn't shell out for the DLC back then on the hope that there would be a rerelease where I could get all the DLC at once. Looks like my patience paid off.
The song list for xiv has some bangers. Including King Mog, most/all of the battle Alexander tracks lotus/brute/rise Hades,titania,tsukuyomi,Titan A few other primals and the best song A Long Fall. Yes we got the meme song. Possibly the two versions since The Primals album and Scions and Sinners album are apart of the song list No Endwalker but probably a little soon plus keeping some stuff on the spoiler stuff if we got flow tho >.>
can i ask if this is a remake of shorts for the older game? i really wanna play the older game but never had the chance so will the same songs and stages be included or is it completly different?
As someone who played the first two games, hopefully I can answer your questions. 1. Chances are yes all the returning songs will be coming back along with more. The second game on the 3DS was literally "Here's all the songs and DLC from the last game, and more songs". 2. It's hard to say this is a remake mainly because it controls differnetly. The first games on the 3DS were mostly touch-based, whereas this game will focus on you pressing 1 or 2 buttons, holding 1 or 2 buttons, holding and moving the stick, and such. If you want a better idea of how this game may play, boot up the demo for Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memories. THis game is made by the same time, and I can see a lot of mechanics taken from that to this.
@@ShyRanger i have khmom on switch and ps4 so i short of understand, but i kinda wish it would be touch based since ive played a demo and it was really fun back then
I keep pouting FFXIV is an album with a game DLC, now this is the very proof of it. If they put all remarkable songs from XIV into that album, idc if that will cost $60 DLC, i'll toss my wallet into oblivion
I absolutely LOVED the first game and between Theatrhythm and the Dissidia PSP games made me a Final Fantasy fan (despite not actually playing that many FF games). And I know the game will have several DLC songs from other Square games but I must say, the number one game I would want to have songs from would be the first Bravely Default, the OST is fantastic.
This is one of my favorite games. The patterns are creatively tied to the notes of each song, sometimes it feels like you are conducting it. Every song is fun even ones I have never heard before. It seems simple but it can be really challenging sometimes. My favorite 'final fantasy game' is ... Xenogears!!. I wish they had more than 3 Xenogears songs to download, but I am glad they shined at least a little light on it.

@@soopplaza4477 Brother! My reunion! I bet you're dying to watch~
I spent around 250 hours of pure fun.. Now it all feels so nostalgic
The sheer amount of amazing songs the FF series has to offer.
The memories.
The feels.
I must have it.
This is so exciting. But I damn near flipped my lid when I saw the DLC. Nier, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Mana, etc. This could be the best collection of SquareSoft/Square Enix music, ever.

They are in the digital deluxe edition BECAUSE they are iconic, that gives a better incentive to actually buy the more expensive version

So happy THEATRHYTHM is back! Been waiting for this
I have the first two, this is literally my favorite music game series ever holy shit I am so excited for a new version HNNNGH
Same!!! I'm always so happy and excited when a new game comes out!
The best announcement from the direct
I Agree!!! Final Fantasy is the best!
For real.
I HEAR WHO BRINGS SHADOW I SMILE AND PREORDER INSTANTLY
Don't know which hurts more, suddenly listening to the ShB theme song, or seeing Tyro in one of the clips :')
I remember playing Theatrhythm on my 3DS over 6 years ago when I was at the Barbican in London waiting to listen to Final Symphony.
The music of FF is very dear to me so this was very welcome news.
I remember playing the demo for the original a ton of times back on the 3DS. I never got the full game, so this’ll be my first in the series.
Oh my god you’ll be hooked on this for sure I’ve never preordered a game so fast like I did this theatrythm
Imagine if there’s like orchestral arrangement as one of the few songs I would go crazyyyy
THE MEMORIES SINCE THE 3DS ERA, IM HAPPY THIS SERIES IS BACK!
I really hope To the Edge is included given the story behind how it was made and just being a really good song alongside the one for the final fight in Shadowbringer's before patches. o.o Curious what all from XI we'll see too :D
We didn't get To the Edge, but we got Wayward Daughter.
1:03 the song is actually called You Are Not Alone
0:34 Type-0 so underrated and music divine! ❤️
In memory of so Many 3ds screens who died for those games.
I'm so dang happy we are getting another one! I love this series!
YES YES YES! I've been enjoying All Star Carnival at Round 1 and I was really hoping we'd see a new home version.
I wish my round 1 had all star carnival :(
@@hanyoneko
I say the same of Taiko no Tatsujin
Actually I think I'm more excited for this than everything else in this direct tbh, and that's due to how good FF music is
PS4 also is exactly why I came here! Boom gonna play the ever-loving hell out of this game.
I can't believe it, I'm in tears!
FINNNAAALLLYYY 😭❤

Damn it, Square knows how to tap my nostalgia. Home town of Domina and Corridors of Times. Sold.
Corridor of Time.... so good.
Disappointed there's no PC release but I'm excited!
I was so disappointed when the arcade went offline, but now THIS EXCITED ME
Playable Garland... Materia and Spiritus... the chocobros... even Tyro is here
Now, I hope we see Jack too
Finally a new Theatrhythm :D February will be a crazy month.
1:58 I'll take two!
I Hope It comes out on steam too
Thank you Square!!! I've been waiting for the next one...absolutely will buy all the extras and DLC

Same goes to Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memories
I am SO buying all the DLC at launch for this, i dont care if its 100 or more xD
I never got to play the full version of this game back when curtain call was a thing. So, I'm totally double dipping for this.
PLEASE include Scream and Silent Scream...
Please Square I beg you
release this on Steam
a lot of us have been waiting for a new Theatrhythm for several years and not everyone has a console;;;;
man i wish it was also for PC
Oh my god! I cant believe it! My 3ds can finally rest.
kinda sad there's no pc port for it... I also wanted to play the Nier osts there...
This was a very unexpected announcement. I am delighted to have this on the switch!
I was waiting for this after the shutdown of All Star Carnival, and it looks great!
Plaything this on my 3ds was such an amazing memory

YES YES YES OH MY GOD, I can finally play my favorite game again.
I love this franchise from back in the 3DS days, will pick up this game for switch day one
Oh my god this is huge !! And now with FFXIV music Im in !!!, NIER, Legend of Mana again, Romancing SaGa my GOD my GOD THEATRHYTHM is back after all this years !!!!! but why no PC QuQ
Would be perfect for steam deck
I'm curious how much of their music will be added. Up to Shadowbringers or Endwalker?
@@nepspartan-7597 in Curtain Call were already ARR OST, maybe some from one of each expansion specially Shadowbringers and Heavensward I think.
@@MQT.Onewheel I know, even you can play button/stick mode in the previous games and plays really nice QuQ
@@ikanasd810 I always played hybrid, touch and buttons.
I'll double dip honestly if it comes to SD. Anddddd if we are being honest half the DLC will be feeling like triple dipping if you include curtain call and dlc such as Crono Trigger ect...
XIV is about to get a shitload more players after people hear its OST. Finally showing past ARR (except the characters still stuck in ARR outfits annoyingly)
Probably since it was taken from the Arcade game as they also include the same cast from ARR in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy All-Star Carnival.
I've been WAITING for this!! I loved the first two Final Fantasy theatrythym games so much, I cannot fully express my excitement at the prospect of a new one to play 😍😍😍😍🌟🌟🌟🌟
Best announcement of the direct and of this generation. Don’t DM me.
Can I DM you to say I agree?
I really hope the digital deluxe exclusive songs will be available for the physical release buyers. I want to be able to play Zanarkand without having to download the game when I prefer physical copies

It will e-e
It will. It's in the DLC listings.
@@Voreten looks like its getting an extra track as well, can't wait!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

At least our boi Tyro gets to be immortalized in this game
@@Mizore1998 its a shame what this company have become

Grabbing this on PS4. Would love to also grab it on Steam Deck 🙂
The problem is... it's coming only on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
@@TonyKanameKuran yes I know. I am being hopeful for a port like they have done for other games.
Dancing mad is the first song I’m doing I loved that song on the 3DS Version 🃏
I'm actually interested in this now that I'm older. Songs up to even FFXV? Yeah, I'll take it!
My kingdom for some beautiful styluses for the Switch!!
1:58 Hey Square, no-one knows what Chrono Trigger is. It might be worth rereleasing it on modern platforms. 😉
stop that, bad cat *takes out the water can with the sprinkler on top of it*
I need Jack Garland
1:52 YOOOOO MY BOY TYRO FROM FFRK GETTING SOME RECOGNITION!!
A LONG FALL MUST BE IN IT !!
IT IS!
I keep pouting FFXIV is an album with a game DLC, now this is the very proof of it. If they put all remarkable songs from XIV into that album, idc if that will cost $60 DLC, i'll toss my wallet into oblivion

Thank you for PS4.
So excited for this!
THANK YOU!
OMGGGG Theatrhythm MERCI SQUARE ENIC OMGGGGGG !!!!!!
No Steam?
Only on Switch and PS4
Please Square Enix! There is a PC market for this game! (but only if you release it on more than just Epic Games Store)
@@MrProg-ey3tl Yeah, anything BUT Epic Games! Actually just Steam and we'll be happy.
This makes up for the let down that was melody of memories.
This demo is mad difficult but fun as f*** to play 10/10 and the music is so good. I forget what and when to input
Rhythm Gang Rise!
I am so hyped
PLEASE bring this game to PC/ Steam! I'll pay ANY PRICE
THIS NEEDS TO COME TO STEAM
My body is ready to tap to the beat and invest another 300 hrs again kupo!
I don't have a switch anymore, and I'm a BIG fan of the Theatrhythm games, so hearing this is coming is making me desperate to pick up a switch again
It's coming to PS4 as well, do you have one?
@@ShyRanger Nope ☹
Type 0 representation let’s gooo!!!
