"I don’t think it’s an understatement to say how much of a borderline unhealthy excitement I had for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy when it was first announced. After all, Final Fantasy is one of those series that has managed to transcend mediums, and has consistently had great music to back it up over the past 25 years. Hell, I’m the kind of guy that drops $185 on a concert entirely dedicated to Final Fantasy music. Nobuo Uematsu, the composer responsible for about 90 percent of that history, is often touted as the John Williams of the video game industry. Who couldn’t pick out that signature ominous drum beat in the beginning of One-Winged Angel? Who hasn’t struggled to hold back tears when hearing Zanarkand when remembering the sad turn of events of the game? Hell, the prelude itself, present in every single game over the past few decades, is probably one of the most recognizable pieces of music in the world."
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory was almost a game in the Theatrhythm franchise according to a newly-translated interview with the game's producer and directors.
A new interview with Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory Director Tetsuya Nomura, Co-Director Masanobu Suzui, and Producer Ichiro Hazama reveals many of the upcoming details about this new game. Melody of Memory will feature very different gameplay than what fans of the franchise would expect, but it has a lot in common with another one of Square Enix's franchises: Theatrhythm.
Lol okay..sure as heck looks and feels like a mee-too template based rhythm game (regardless of how your consumer gamer brain thinks). All that name dropping and “history lesson” took this article to new realms of “techraptor does not make any money doing this anyway”. Just consider that. You do this crap for free. Winning.
