Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

I played far too much of this last night, and I love it so far. So far my only real complaint is how much of a pain they made it to buy DLC songs by having no cart option. It would be nice if songs unlocked in Challenge Mode after playing them in the Chaos Shrine, though. I'd like to be able to play some of them, like Something to Protect, on basic just to chill out since it's one of my favorites, but I can barely pass it on expert.

I might've looked around a bit more if I'd known the stylus copies weren't exclusive to preorder. Oh well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's a trick that will definitely come in handy. I was wondering if there was an easier method of obtaining some lower level Dark Notes, but I hadn't thought about trying that. Lately I've been farming the same Note for Indigo and... Crimson shards? I forget. It's red, and doesn't matter as much because I want Locke. It's an easy field and battle song, so I can beat the boss every time without fail.

You might want to wait and see if you can find it on sale, but honestly you could probably do fine with a bit of practice. You have to go through all of the Series mode songs on Basic at first anyway, so you don't have to dive straight into the Expert difficulty stuff in the Chaos Shrine.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's mostly the final section, sadly. I was hoping it would be the full song too.

I've been going through some of the Ultimates, and for the most part it seems like field songs are doable, event songs are iffy, and battle songs can go straight to hell.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Pretty much this. Dark Crystal mode is neat and all, but it desperately needed to include all tracks rather than the same few over and over and over again. It just becomes painful in its current form.

Like Daravon said, this version adds some of my favorite songs that were excluded from 3DS (still surprised Not Alone never came out as DLC) as well as some of my favorite characters. It's kind of amusing that Cecil and Onion Knight are among the few free characters since they've been in my party on 3DS the whole time I've played it.

I'm not surprised the old iOS devices I have won't run it, though. Simple games already stutter, slow down, and have serious control recognition issues, so I never expected Theatrythm to be playable on them. Extra portability wouldn't be much of a plus to me since I keep my iPhone muted all the time. If I've got headphones with me then I probably brought them for my 3DS.

I'll just keep hoping for the slim chance that they'll add this extra stuff in as new DLC for 3DS. Hell, I'd be happy just getting Not Alone and Antipyretic.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
