Here's a lovely special trailer of Square Enix's upcoming 3DS rhythm game Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy. The trailer showcases the game's various modes, which are Field, Battle and Event respectively.

Each mode features a number of classic Final Fantasy music tracks and unique game mechanics. As seen in the trailer, Field mode is the calmest of all three modes, with Battle looking to be the most intense and Event being a special mode featuring each Final Fantasy's character and story themes.

The game is being developed by indieszero and it shares a lot of similarities to other popular rhythm games on the market such as Ouendan (Elite Beat Agents), DJ Max and Project Diva to a certain extent. It's certainly an interesting branch and, combined with Final Fantasy's top quality scores, may prove to be a fun experience.

Theatrhythm's out February 16 in Japan. No date for North America or Europe. Yet.

I wish this came out internationally. One of my favorite parts of Final Fantasy is the music. I love it, to the point where I have every OST on my ipod. Plus, they look so cute!

---

So weird, I could have sworn I seen this trailer a few weeks ago. But anyways tons of content shown here.

I'm not big on beat games, but I LOVE FF music, so I think I may force myself to like a beat game just to play this (heh).

Okay. I have changed my mind on this. I don't hate it anymore. XD
I kinds wanna play it a lot.

I just really hope that they aren't going to try to pretend that there's a story, like with Dissidia. XD

I so want this game to come in the west, it would be an instant preorder for me and a good reason to buy a 3DS! (other than Ocarina of Time)

PS3: PenguinAlex
360: PenguinAlex

Man, this game looks so great!

I wish the art style wasn't quite so chibi, but the music (and my associated memories with it) is more than enough to draw me to this title. I really really hope it comes out abroad.

---

This looks so stupid and cute and fun and awesome :| I really really hope it comes over. Shame the 3DS is region locked, it would probably be a totally painless import.

---

Theatrhythm moogle is my new favorite.

---

Well, i want this now. Even more reason for me to get a 3ds, too bad i dont have any money.

---

I saw the FF7 and FF9 psone cutscene and am now sold. Bring it over!!!!
