excel_excel Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 So I've been playing a demo of this that appeared on the EU eshop last week, and I've really been enjoying it. The art style is fairly simple but charming and its really addictive. You tap the touch screen along to the shiz happening on the top screen. The demo has Man With The Machine Gun from Final Fantasy VIII (that's the battle theme when your playing as Laguna) and Final Fantasy XIII's Sunleth Waterscape's background music (which is another arrangement of The Promise the game's main vocal theme). Both great tracks. So there's Battle sequences where its you tapping to the music while a party fights enemies Field sequences where your character is waltzing through some some scenery and Event sequences were its basically movie scenes from various Final Fantasies Andd some kind of opening and ending to each Final Fantasy that requires tapping a crystal. There's also some kind of equip system and some stuff which is cool. DAY ONE NEXT WEEK BABY RELEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 The hud reminds me very much of Dissidia - which was a rhythm game in its own right. Is it weird for me to be annoyed that they made the characters look all cutesy? I know it's a Nintendo game but c'mon! they look like they've dropped far too many tabs.

TCP Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I was going to pick this up, but something tells me there's going to be a Vita version. Just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a Nintendo game but c'mon! they look like they've dropped far too many tabs. well its still made by Square Enix. The visual style is supposed to be like all the clothes and shit are interchangeable. Not really cutesy but more like cartoonified I was going to pick this up, but something tells me there's going to be a Vita version. Just a hunch. No news about it that at all!

Strangelove Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 It looks great, but there's something that just doesnt seem like its worth 40 dollars. Maybe 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I would be far more interested in this game if it featured remixes of classic Final Fantasy songs. I already have the original sound tracks for the FF games I've liked on my iTunes, so as is this game doesn't seem to be offering me a significantly better experience than I can get just playing those songs on audiosurf. Also, there are classic Final Fantasy games I haven't played, so this would be soundtrack spoilers. Yes, that's a real thing that people should worry about.

excel_excel Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Well most of the older tracks are remixes. This wasn't on my radar that big till I played the demo SO PLAY THAT NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livingtarget Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Looks good. I'd buy it if I wasn't too busy playing Pokemon Conquest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 How is Pokemon Conquest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livingtarget Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like it. In fact I'd go so far as to say that it's the best Pokemon spinoff there is. There are some very skechy design choices though. it doesn't ruin the game, but it looks plain stupid from a veteran tactics gamer point of view. It's also hilarious. (MINOR NON-PLOT SPOILERS) I split my sides laughing when my first trainer evolved. No I'm not joking. (/SPOILERS) Speaking of the plot, it's kinda weak, but it holds up if you don't think about it too much. Also, Nobunaga's the bad guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 So since this thread is almost dead wonder if anyone actually bought it? My 3DS has basically become my Theatrhythm machine. Mind you the game is actually limited - oh something to do with limited proliferation of 3DS consoles in the west. I bought it from Amazon got the stylus and stickers and all that. Honestly its the most fun I've had with a rhythm game since Lumines Vita earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I didn't I'm afraid. And now that Rhythm Thief is out and getting pretty swell reviews, if I decide I need a rhythm fix I may go that direction instead. I would love to support the new IP over the Final Fantasy spinoff after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) So since this thread is almost dead wonder if anyone actually bought it? My 3DS has basically become my Theatrhythm machine. Mind you the game is actually limited - oh something to do with limited proliferation of 3DS consoles in the west. I bought it from Amazon got the stylus and stickers and all that. Honestly its the most fun I've had with a rhythm game since Lumines Vita earlier this year. Finally arrived yesterday! I've been absolutely loving it. Its so fun and instantly gratifying. I love the party and level up mechanics as well which add a little spice to proceedings. I'm also doing pretty well, and I suck at Guitar Hero and other rhythm games. The character design is really charming and all the different stages work well. I think an actual full out battle system using this in a proper spin off would work wonders. Also the music choices are pretty all round strong. Although I think for the NES and SNES entries, remixes would have been a better choice than the original midi music.

Connorrrr Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Checking in, I picked it up yesterday for 3 pounds (used a bunch of saved up credit) and it will be arriving today, so can't really argue at that price. Good to see people seemed to enjoy it, I do enjoy rhythm games (Rhythm Heaven was one of my fav DS titles, as well as Elite Beat Agents and Osu Tatake Ouenden) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.em. Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I've liked it so far! It's been fun and is kind of silly too. Lots of stuff to unlock. I'm not sure I would pay $40 for it though (my boyfriend bought it). Unless you really love FF and music games, I would suggest waiting till it gets a bit cheaper.
