Japan’sJumpmagazine has revealed yet anotherFinal Fantasyspin-off in the works, this time one that actually sounds interesting.Theatrhythmhas a typically stupid Square Enix name, but it sounds like a cool idea, and it’ll be coming to the 3DS.
The so-called “Theater Rhythm Game” portrays retro side-view battle screens with chibi-esque characters duking it out. The flow of battle is determined not by commands, however, but by tapping the touchscreen in time with the music. The music is taken from a range of pastFinal Fantasytitles, so the nostalgic will be quite happy.
If they pick up all the classic tunes, this could be a pretty cool game. I’m actually surprised nobody thought of it before, what with theFFseries having some astounding music.
