Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy is a rythym-based RPG created for the 25th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series and Japanese 3DS owners will be able to get their hands on it last week. Featuring music, scenes, characters, monsters, and locales made famous in Final Fantasy, the game blends the first thirteen mainline iterations into a love letter to the series’ music.

Update:

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy’s downloadable songs will eventually cost ¥150 a pop. Initially, however, Square Enix is offering a 30% discount, to ¥100 each. Originally, the discount period was scheduled to run through March 7. Today, Square Enix announced that it will be extending the period to April 18.

Eight songs are currently available for download. You can hear some samples here. Additional download songs will be released every two or three weeks. The discount pricing applies just to current songs.

 

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy has received high marks in Famitsu and its two demos have been well received. But here’s the biggest endorser yet: Nobuo Uematsu.

The composer of many of the songs that are featured in the game wrote at Twitter today, “I played Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for the first time today. Not too shabby! As I remembered various things from the past 20 years, I was reduced to tears. FF music fans should definitely play it. Won’t you cry with me?”
