So, were there any tracks that didn't make it from the last game and its DLC that you're hoping for this time around?

I'm curious just how much new material they can put in, given that they got most of the good tracks the first time around. Yes, the iOS version had a few new songs, but unless they're introducing some radically new gameplay, I'm not sure it's worth double (or triple) dipping just to get music from FFXIV and Lightning Returns.

How many tracks were in the original Theatrhythm? 200 doesn't sound like a huge bump if they include songs that were previously DLC. There were still some glaring omissions in the song list, and I'd be willing to rebuy for a couple new songs from each game. You Are Not Alone and the Veldt would top my list.

Ordinarily I hate when companies release the same game over again with a few additions (hello entire fighting game genre), but I still play Theatrythm often enough that I wouldn't mind buying an expanded version. If there are 60 characters now then that kind of dwarfs the 5-6 I still need to unlock in the original.

My body is ready.

If you counted ALL of the 3DS tracks including all of the DLC, and added in the iOS exclusive tracks there are about ~120 tracks total across both versions and DLC in the original versions (the count gets weird because some tracks were changed modes or weren't playable in one version but playable in the other, etc). So even if you want to assume that they're including all of these tracks in this version that's still at least ~80 tracks to add which is pretty respectable. I'm glad I hadn't bought most of the original DLC tracks yet, will probably hold off a bit until we get more details.

Personally I'd be surprised if they include all of the DLC from the first game (it's Square after all), I'm hoping if they don't include it they at least make it compatible with DLC from the first game so you can just dump everything in this.

^^^^^

In before 55 of the 60 characters are unlocked via DLC roulette.

That would still be less annoying than the crystal fragment method.

Well, it'll either be 2 dollars a spin or 5 bucks for a pack of 10 crystals with randomly chosen colours.

I don't look forward to either.

Yeah, I'm in. I'm like Daravon in that I'm hoping they include some of the DLC already available, mostly cuz I have money for GAMES not SONGS. The main thing I'm wondering (and had made me think about how a sequel would work) is how they can handle Event Mode what with already doing it. I know there's a bunch of cutscene stuff they could put in (esp. from VII - etc), but they've already hit some of the more important plot-ish stuff they could show with the FMVs.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ditched Event mode entirely. It wasn't in the iOS port, and like you said they would probably end up reusing a lot of scenes. I was never overly fond of it anyway. I'd be fine with just unlocking movies to watch.

Event is still in unfortunately :( But FFT and Mystic Quest are in!

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call Has Tunes From These Final Fantasy Games - Siliconera

Will have music from:

Hot.

Interesting that they don't list Final Fantasy XV. They should even have more than one song ready by now!

I'm oddly excited by Mystic Quest's inclusion. I remember almost nothing about it except that I really liked it as a kid, so I have no idea if there were any worthwhile music tracks. One of these days I'll replay it to see if it's as disappointing as everyone else seems to think.

Type-0 has some good music, and XIV isn't bad either. Other than those 4, meh. FFT will probably make me buy it, though.

DLC.

Oh that's right, they did have a track from XV (Versus XIII at the time) as DLC in last game.

I don't see After Years in that lineup. :( Dissidia, Crisis Core, and Advent Children though? I welcome that.

LOOOOL ADVENT ONE WINGED ANGEL LET'S FUCKING DO THIS SHIT

for some reason i never got into the idea of this game, but if i could buy this version with all the songs included (i have little to no patience for DLC) i might spring for it. From what i can tell the odds of not having to buy at least a good number of the songs as DLC doesn't seem likely, though.

I want Tactics A2 to be represented. A Hymn for the Journey for Field Music and Green Wind and Companions That Surpassed Their Tribe for Battle Music. Luso would have like SSS Strength F Everything Else, and would deal bonus damage to all women-- fuck the girls in your own party, too. They deserve the fist.

Luso's Theme/Summer Vacation would probably make better Field Music. AHFTJ would be an okay Intro/Event song though.

I'd vouch for That Which Stands in The Way for BMS. Companions and Green Wind are definitely some of the best tunes on the soundtrack, but TWSiTW seems like it'd make for a greater challenge.

I figure if something as slow and boring as To Zanarkand can be field music, A Hymn would be okay. I had forgotten about Summer Vacation though. I could agree to that for sure. But isn't TWSiTW just the XII boss theme? I think that's already in the game representing XII. What about Into the Fantasy instead? It's a calm track, but would be hard as fuck, I'd bet.

The BMS for XII was Clash of Swords, different tune. I still say That Which Stands in the Way would be a good pick.

Also what the fuck, Zanarkand is a really nice tune, even if everything else about X sucks.

I dunno about the 3DS version, but the iOS version seems to have TWSitW, labelled simply Boss Battle. I say "seems to" because I don't want to spend two dollars to find out. But anyway, it should be in Curtain Call already.

And To Zanarkand was okay. It was just too slow for a Field Theme, for me.

Not much news, but it is confirmed that the game will be coming to the US sometime in 2014. The UK is still pending for a release date, Japan gets it in 2 days.

- 60 characters from players to choose from, including newcomers from series spin-off titles like Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

- The sequel features a Quest Medley mode, in which players can build and battle through their own playlist of Final Fantasy songs, as well as a Versus Battle Mode in which players can go head-to-head to see who can get get the highest score.

2014 AND WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS TO GET SHIT GOD DAMN YOU JAPAN

I NEED ADVENT OWA IN MY LIFE LIKE RIGHT NOW

Was actually going to make a thread for the new one, but this works. Some more tidbits:

-Confirmed to have 221 tracks on-cart, which appears to include every single DLC track from the first game with one exception (the Versus XIII DLC track). Full track listing can be found here.

-You can now customize the chime effect for notes as well as change the volume on it. (HOLY SHIT)

-Video showcasing all (63) of the songs from the non-mainline games (FFT, Mystic Quest, etc):

YouTube Video

-First DLC pack details, will be out day 1 in Japan (which is today). Available now are:

I would suck crazy dicks to have this game right now.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Real talk lol at Reno showing up as an enemy character in that chime vid, did S-E not get the memo that Reno is the real hero of Final Fantasy 7 or what. You could make an Advent Children abridged with just Reno's parts and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
