    Is this really the end of Theatrhythm? If so, Final Bar Line goes out with a massive bang. Including DLC, the total tracklist numbers around half a thousand songs, drawn not only from the diverse assortment of games in the Final Fantasy series but also the larger Square Enix library in general. Even if you don’t touch the DLC, you’ve got a whopping 385 songs to enjoy here. The new tricks in the charts add a bit of excitement even to the old familiar songs, and the refreshed presentation looks great. If you like music games or Final Fantasy, you’ll want Theatrhythm Final Bar Line. If you like both, you probably already bought it.

    Overall Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is already a front runner for my personal game of the year, and it’s only February. The massive track list, fun gameplay, and cute aesthetic help keep me absorbed and have proven to be a dangerous catalyst to me saying “one more song” over and over late into the night. Difficulty options are also well balanced, Beginner charts are easy enough to get a feeling for the game, Expert charts are fun while not being too incredibly difficult, Ultimate tracks are a huge challenge for the most advanced players, and those looking for an extreme challenge will find some tracks add a fourth difficulty called Supreme. All of these levels feel exactly as you’d hope, meaning any skill level can have a good time. The music of Final Fantasy is legendary for a reason, and Theatrhythm is the perfect representation of that. If you’re looking for a great rhythm game to eat up your time and occupy your mind, Final Bar Line is a fantastic choice.

    If you consider the Final Fantasy soundtrack worthy of being counted among the heritages of humanity, then Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is the music game for you. Rich in tracks and truly suitable for everyone, with a very well-calibrated level of difficulty. Too bad they haven't modernised the aesthetic, distinctive but undeniably little more than functional.

    Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is the "tribute" game that FF's 35th anniversary needed, a title that brings together the best of its soundtrack with a fun and simple gameplay style that both casual and hardcore gamers will enjoy. Add hundreds of things to unlock and an adorable aesthetic, and you have a great game for the fans.

    Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is a testament to the power of a soundtrack, and it’s well worth the attention of any fan of Final Fantasy, music, or Final Fantasy music.

    Final Bar is an encore for Final Fantasy fans. Its control has successfully transitioned from touchscreen to traditional control and maintains a good level of difficulty. Although there is a long list of available songs, there are few modes and rewards for casual players. It is a full-fledged rhythm game that stands out from the rest due to its RPG elements.

    It‘s a fan-feast for the ears, then, with a good sense of rhythm and lots of tracks. It‘s just a shame that its looks are somewhat disappointing and that it‘s comparably stingy in terms of extras commemorating the series‘ 35th anniversary.

    Jogo que entregou tudo que eu poderia esperar de um jogo assim. Roda lindamente no Switch. Inclusive o online. Conteúdo gigantesco. As dlcJogo que entregou tudo que eu poderia esperar de um jogo assim. Roda lindamente no Switch. Inclusive o online. Conteúdo gigantesco. As dlc poderiam sim ser mais baratas. Mas acho que só mostram que haverá um forte suporte ao jogo pós lançamento. Jogos rítmicos são viciantes e muito gostosinhos. Esse é o melhor jogo rítmico que eu conheço. Valeu meu dinheiro pago. Espero que tenha dlc de df xvi, octopath 2, etc. Não saberia tirar nota desse jogo pois não consigo pensar em algo que ele deixe a desejar, nem em aspecto técnico nem em conteúdo. Só o valor das dlc que me incomodam um pouco.… Expand

    While the game is nice, it lacks Freya Crescent and a few other favorite characters I like in the series. This overall dampens my experience.
