DHGF: The Final Fantasy franchise invades the rhythm genre at last, and the results are better than I could’ve expected. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy includes all of the familiar trappings of the rhythm genre and coats it with a thin layer of RPG elements. The presentation might put off some, given the cutesy nature of the art style, but those who can look past that will find a game with one of the best soundtracks on the market along with all of the addictiveness the genre can offer. Local co-op, DLC, and a ton of unlockables will ensure that you’ll be playing for months, though many of the songs are catchy enough that you’ll find yourself replaying them just for the sake of doing so. It would have been nice if certain songs were not exclusive to specific modes, though it’s hard to argue with with such a large setlist. If you are a Final Fantasy fan, you need to pick this up. As for non-fans, it’s at least worth checking out if only to see something unique.
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.
