In a rather interesting move, Square Enix has released Final Fantasy Theatrhythm on iOS. While the base game is free, it comes with only two songs pre-installed. The rest of the tracklist is accessible through in-app purchases, priced at about 99 cents per song. With over a hundred tracks, you’re looking at >$100 to get the whole shebang.

The producer of Square Enix’s 1st Production Department, Ichiro Hazama, said that he would like to see the Theatrythm series expand beyond Final Fantasy.
Speaking with Joystiq, Mr. Hazama said, “Our company has so many other IPs that create great music, so if you ask if I want to do it? I want to do it, but nothing is determined yet.” He went on to say that it was his intention that the series should expand to other Square Enix IPs, which is why the Theatrhythm title comes before Final Fantasy.
Theatrythm: Final Fantasy is currently slated for a July 3rd release date in North America.

On the off chance you’re curious, Square Enix has announced that North American preorders for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy will include a custom stylus and character stickers. These include most of the well-known characters – Cloud, Squall, Lightning – and vastly superior ones like Shantotto.

As a reminder, Theatrhythm hits US retailers starting July 3.

Yaknow, you can say what you want about Silent Hill: Downpour, but when it comes to being tense and creepy it doesn’t screw around. The actual enemies and combat are pretty naff, but it does a fine job instilling a sense of dread. There are rooms I just do not want to enter. I consider that a mission accomplished for a horror game.
Anyhow, on to the news:

Y’know the annoying thing about importing stuff? I mean, apart from the cost, the language barrier, the hassle of explaining to your credit card company that no, you’re really you and you’re okaying the transaction? Actually wait, that stuff’s annoying too, but it’s the waiting that really gets to me. Oh well. Anyway, on with some media: Atelier Totori, Disgaea 4, Growlanser 4 Overload, Noora to Toki no Koubou, and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Continue reading ‘Mass Media 07/25/11’ »

Individual titles form the basis of levels, from Final Fantasy I to XIII, each broken into three stages: field, battle, and event. You form parties of up to four people, and clearing a stage levels up your characters; what impact this has in a rhythm game is not yet known.
Square Enix also launched the official site for the game, which can be found here.

I just want you all to know I wrote this all with that Yogurting flash synced to the Droyds remix of Armand van Helden’s “In Your Eyes” playing in the background. I don’t know why, I think I forgot it was on at some point. Catchy song, though. I digress. Welcome back, guys! In What Happened This Week, we discuss the following:

Square Enix has revealed a curious 3DS installment in their signature RPG series. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, a “theater rhythm action” game, features the usual towns, dungeons, and side-view battles of earlier Final Fantasy titles, but with rhythm game controls: timed button and touch-screen presses in sync with visual prompts.
