The original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a game that’s always been near and dear to my heart. Upon release I was captivated by the charming character design and the breadth of songs available that spanned the length of the Final Fantasy series available at the time. Then came Curtain Call and I got to experience the whimsical formula all over again, albeit with even more tracks to choose from including Final Fantasy XIV, which was just finding its feet at the time. Then came Theatrhythm Dragon Quest and even an arcade version of the Final Fantasy one. It seemed like Square Enix was keen on carving out their own little niche in this genre - even if those titles never left Japan. The latter came out in 2016 and after that? Well, there really was nothing. The Kingdom Hearts-themed Melody of Memory doesn’t really count as it’s a different format for the most part. The question then remained – was there till a place for the Theatrhythm series? Nearly a decade after the release of Curtain Call, the last proper “Theatrhythm Final Fantasy” title, we finally have our answer. Square Enix returned to the stage with an announcement last year heralding the

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is a 'grand finale' of Final Fantasy series music, compiled into a rhythm game that blends in some light RPG elements. Succeeding the original 3DS title, and following several arcade editions, Final Bar Line will feature 385 songs in the box, along with 27 extra songs in the Digital Deluxe edition.

An 'endless mode' will string together songs and gradually increase their difficulty for as long as you can hold out. Below, you can check out the currently-known list of songs in the game.

New information for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, a rhythm game set to the Final Fantasy series expansive musical catalogue, highlights some new and returning features. As you unlock songs, you'll be able to freely select them in the 'Music Stage' mode, where you can toggle how each stage is sorted — by title, series and more. Favorites can be selected here and a 'Random' button will let you spin the wheel and play from your list of unlocked stages. Different modes include the standard style, but also a 'Pair Style' that will let you co-op on the same screen. One player will take the upper lane, while another player will take the lower. Additionally, there's also a 'Simple Style' which will let you play with just one button, which is handy if you want to get in on the rhythm action but directional swipes are difficult. ProfiCards, or "profile cards" have been spruced up a bit where you can view yours or others' gameplay records and customize the icon and design. A summonstone can be attached to your ProfiCard, where after a Multi Battle in multiplayer, you'll receive that player's summonstone. We also get a look at the different editions of the game, along
