    This is the first Theatrhythm game I've played and I absolutely love it! As soon as I heard it was coming out, I knew I had to play it and I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the demo alone! Now that the full game is out, I've played roughly 35 hours already and I've had an absolute blast! I'm terrible at multiplayer at this time, but even that's fun when I'm losing most of the time!This is the first Theatrhythm game I've played and I absolutely love it!

The ridiculous number of songs and the various modes mean that I'll be playing this for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. Well done! I would add that I wish there were some features that I had heard about from previous iterations of the game and I wish there were more set slots, but those are minor issues.… Expand

    What a fantastic entry! This one uses the Japanese arcade game All-Star Carnival as a base and goes from there. The roster and song listing have increased dramatically though a few key characters from each entry are omitted.

    The variety and number of songs is wonderful and fun and difficulty within each tier is listed numerically as in Melody of Memory. More to come via the DLC seasons!    What a fantastic entry!

    The online 4 player battles are a blast but don't let the new rainbow criticals throw you off or you can quickly lose! The local co-op is great fun with a friend and encompasses more songs than online does.

    The deluxe upgrade includes many beautiful (Japanese) vocal tracks and fun songs. The options are varied and thorough and include a streamer-friendly overlay.

    Fully recommend, the base game has enough songs to last a good while and it's cheaper than most PS4 games to boot.    … Expand

    Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

    Not only excels as a rhythm game, but also as a tribute to the long history of final fantasy. 500+ songs with DLC is amazing too. A must buy for rhythm and final fantasy fans alike.

    Character design is terrible.
    Can't choose a song from the beginning and one song is too long.
    DLC sales are terrible.

    A great fan service from Square Enix. The character design, the nostalgic songs and the gameplay make this game a must play to Final Fantasy fans.

    Contenido descomunal como homenaje a una de las mejores sagas de la historia del videojuego. La versión definitiva de Theatrhythm, con un compontente RPG interesante respecto al modo "historia". Muchísimas horas por delante para sacarlo todo, le hubiera venido bien un modo alternativo al ya mencionado historia y canciones sueltas para llegar a ser perfecto. Si eres fan de FF, compra obligatoria.

    The only issue I found after enjoying the game for hours is the constant short loading screens. The game loads quite fast when they appear, but somehow can be a little bit annoying. The rest of the game is amazing: tons of songs, super cute artistic style, fun.. I had never played a musical game, and I don't regret having spent 60€.

    El mejor juego musical de la trilogía, si bien su apartado artístico no ha variado demasiado, su jugabilidad ofrece interesantes novedades respecto a las 2 entregas anteriores de 3DS.

    An amazing celebration of the Final Fantasy franchise, filled with a lot of heart and charm.

    Very accessible to newcomers to rhythm games and great for hardcore players. Tons of songs that will last you a long time and more if you with to become better and tackle the more challenging difficulties

    Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is an easy recommendation for Final Fantasy fans. The rhythm gameplay is highly enjoyable and a fantastic way for players to enjoy a trip through the musical delights that the series offers. As a love letter to the series’ soundtracks it heartily succeeds, and every play session is bound to come away with players fondly humming at least one of the tracks they’ve played through for hours ahead.

    If it didn’t seem easy enough to fall into Final Bar Line, there’s even an Endless mode. It’s a game that keeps giving (though future updates may make it pricy). [Issue#25, p.90]

    Overall, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is simply essential if you're a Final Fantasy fan, as it serves as the perfect celebration of the hundreds of tracks that we hold so close to our hearts...It hits that wonderful balance between challenge and relaxation that can be shifted further either way if you so wish. It is a game that I can see myself always returning to whenever I have some downtime, and with the arrival of the additional DLC tracks my love for the game will only grow.
