Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call

Frankly, the only true requirement for the enjoyment of this fantastic title is that you love great music and like to have fun.

A top-notch game bursting at the seams with Final Fantasy nostalgia.

Well worth the ticket price and a mus for FF fans. [Dec 2014, p.80]

All in all, I’m pretty impressed with the overall package of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call.

Its enormous musical selection means that any dedicated player will easily spend over one hundred hours trying to unlock everything and among the rhythm and music genre, this is an indispensable buy.

Over 25 years of history is crammed into Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call, and it is a marked improvement over the first game.

Curtain Call outclasses its predecessor to such an extreme degree that it makes the original Theatrhythm obsolete. It's a solid purchase for Final Fantasy fans and rhythm game veterans alike, and it explores the Theatrhythm concept to its fullest.

If you are a Final Fantasy or rhythm game fan don't even hesitate to pick up Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call.

The ultimate concern with any rhythm game is whether the actions that the game is asking players to take (swipes, taps and so on) reflect the movement and mood of the music. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call nails this, and makes for a music game that is both fun and rewarding. Especially for the Final Fantasy fans out there.

Veterans of the first game and newcomers alike will enjoy its huge catalog of songs and fun features. If you like Final Fantasy and its music, you should absolutely grab a copy of this game.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is just all around bigger and better than its prequel. With over two hundreds songs and more than sixty characters to unlock, different gameplay modes, deeper RPG elements and tons of collectibles, there's really no reason to underestimate it if you are a fan of Final Fantasy or rhythm games in general.

Square Enix did exactly what they should have done when preparing a sequel to their RPG rhythm game Theatrhythm Final Fantasy—they made every one of its elements better. Curtain Call not only builds upon what made the original great and makes it even better, but also brings additions that take the series in an exciting new direction.

Curtain Call is a nice and “fixed” update to the original Theatrhythm, which while good already, is made better and with a few additional little tracks tossed in.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is far more than a lazy expansion to the original release. The volume of extra content is truly impressive, but it also shakes up the formula with new modes to give the experience a fresh feel.

If you liked the original Theathrhythm, this is more of the same with plenty of bonus content. It sucks me in every time I turn it on, to the point where my wife is actually pulling the headphones out of my ears to get my attention. It’s a wonderful game. You should totally play it.

With a song list this large and almost every major Final Fantasy character there’s ever been, wrapped up in an incredibly cute art style, Curtain Call is an absolute fan server for Final Fantasy diehards.

Being able to play something that celebrates over two decades of excellent music brought me lots of joy, and serves as a reminder that Final Fantasy has some of the best music in video game history.

A fun and very attractive new installment of one of the most unique games released for the Nintendo 3DS. Addictive and simple gameplay.

If you have a 3DS, if you like music games and if you are a Final Fantasy fan, it's one of those games you cannot miss.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call is a perfect tribute to the music of the series, a very well made musical game that offers a lot of content in terms of characters and songs, and even more important: it's very funny and addictive. a must-have for the real fans of the series.

If you like music games, get it. If you like the fantastic musical arrangements of the Final Fantasy series, get it. Even with slight downers like inconsistent challenge levels this is one little rhythm gem.

With great music and great gameplay, Curtain Call is a triumphant celebration of Final Fantasy. For series enthusiasts, the game is a brilliant tour through all the great Final Fantasy titles that have been released over the years.

Despite misgivings about the roleplaying elements, Curtain Call is the best Theatrhythm has ever been. It’s telling when a game offers DLC and there’s already so much there that more would just be icing on the cake. If song names like Battle at the Big Bridge and Dancing Mad mean something to you, this is a game you don’t want to miss.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call consolidates as a quality product due to its extensive list of songs and characters ―over 220 and 60 respectively―. It also has perfect functionality in terms of game modes, solid controls and it provides a delightful sense of gratification. It is, without a doubt, a musical love letter destined to be among the best music titles of 2014.

Curtain Call is a rhythm game filled with artful nostalgia, but elements like the Quests elevate it beyond enjoyable pandering.

A superb update to an already great game. [Issue#153, p.114]

Any player even remotely into rhythm games should not miss Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call. The selection of musics, characters and videos from one of the most influential video game series of all time is just brilliant.

As excellent and generous rhythm game first and a loving series tribute second. [Issue#254, p.56]

To be honest, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is an updated version of the previous episode. But let's be fair, it's a huge update: from 70 to 221 tracks, a new way to play the game only with stick and buttons, Versus and online modes, and a Medley Quests which makes the progression better and more structured. Too bad we have to pay full price for it, even more with the DLC's incoming.

If you're a fan of Final Fantasy's music – and seriously, how could you not be? – and unless you are allergic to rhythm games, Theatrhythm is something you need to try.

As a tribute to a franchise's greatest moments, it's almost unparalleled in its breadth and attention to detail, and whether you're a long-time fan or someone who has only skimmed through a few core entries, there's no better way to revisit the series.

Curtain Call turns what could be empty nostalgia into a meaningful challenge that I still can't stop playing.

A genuine improvement on the original and so stuffed with content that you’ll need several new Final Fantasy games before another sequel is necessary.

It's more a second movement than a sequel, but it's still brilliant and full of memorable tracks.

With a massive music catalogue, Curtain Call is something like a dream come true for real Final Fantasy lovers. But if you played the original game, Curtain Call is little more than a deluxe edition.

The enhanced RPG-lite mechanics, sheer wealth of content and grade-A presentation values makes this a must-buy title for anyone who considers themselves a lover of Final Fantasy or music in general.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is the perfect sequel for an interesting game. Square Enix has powered up every single element of the previous title, adding two great Modes such as Quests and Duels. If you like Final Fantasy and its great soundtrack, this it the experience you are looking for.

While there may not be anything new in Curtain Call, there sure is a lot of it. And if you think their games have grown stale, here's proof that at least their music hasn't.

For those who already tapped through the 70-plus immortal tunes of the original and felt satisfied, this expanded song selection and the extra modes may not be enough to justify a return visit. However, Curtain Call is a good choice for those diehard Final Fantasy fans that couldn't get enough of the original.

It's hard to imagine fans of Final Fantasy not leaping at the chance to reconnect with their memories and some of the most beautiful music from the history of Final Fantasy, and playing Curtain Call is the perfect way to do so.

While Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was a great tribute to the franchise's music, Curtain Call goes the extra mile with tons of additional content to become the definitive game in the series.

The RPG elements are still too confusing and convoluted, too, but much like in 2012, Theatrhythm is a fun, heart-warming piece of fan service that offers better value for money than before, while giving fans plenty of museum-based goodies to explore and reminisce over.

Curtain Call could be a better game, but its music makes up for the fairly straightforward rhythm action on display. If you've been a stranger to the series until now and want to jump in, Curtain Call offers hundreds of Final Fantasy songs, from the mainline series to the obscure spinoffs.

Considering that it has almost the entire first game housed within it with expanded modes, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is a no-brainer for people who never bit the first time around, as well as returning players who are looking to play some extra songs.

Curtain Call takes the original Theatrhythm and mixes it with a bag of new tracks, some new modes and a brand new way to control the game. The end result is a light-hearted trip down nostalgia lane for die-hard Final Fantasy-fans.

Owners of the first game might be chagrined to find out they could have waited two years to get all the content on one game card for a single price. But newcomers to this musical take on a venerable series will be pleased to get what they should have always had in the first place.

Fans of the Final Fantasy games (especially the soundtracks) will enjoy this game, fans of Rhythm games can enjoy this game, and fans of both may thoroughly enjoy this game, especially longtime fans who have played many of the games and have a fondness towards the soundtracks.

With gameplay limited to simple taps and swipes, I realize that only a niche group of people would enjoy the time spent here, and honestly, I don't feel as though Curtain Call is a complete game—I prefer to think of it as an interactive music player.

It's too bad that now that the company has shown how well it can work, it's taking a bow.

221 tunes, a local and online multiplayer mode and gameplay with buttons! This ultimate version of Theathrythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call, is a must-have for Final Fantasy fans.
