The Best Upcoming Final Fantasy Game Is Not a Final Fantasy Game
Behold the new trailer for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Square Enix’s upcoming rhythm/music game for the 3DS. Now, normally I would blast Square for making another random, ridiculous game that has nothing to do with Final Fantasy other than having the logo slapped on it, but seeing as the only other FF game coming out in the near future is Final Fantasy XIII-2, I’d say Theatrhythm is unfortunately as good as the FF franchise going to get for the foreseeable future (and don’t talk to me about Versus XIII, because that’s obviously never coming out). At least the little FF guys are pretty adorable. If I can make lil’ Lightning dance her way into an open volcano, I may even buy this thing.
