“Hey, Anthony, did you hear about the new Final Fantasy game for the 3DS?”
“No, why? If it’s another stupid Crystal Chronicles, don’t even tell me. I can’t live with the disappointment.”
“It’s not. It’s actually a rhythm game, sort of like Elite Beat Agents, but with Final Fantasy characters and music. It’s called Theatrhythm.”
(Stunned silence) “Is there a video?”
“Why, yes, right here…”

“Oh…my…GOD! Did you see Ultros from Final Fantasy VI? And the awesome boss theme? And the dance scene from FF VIII? And that annoying song from FF XIII that somehow makes me still want to go back and play it? Why is this the first game for the 3DS I MUST HAVE???”
“Because you’re a sick and twisted FF fanboy who’s iPod is filled with this crap already.”
“Fair enough.” (Throws wallet at PC)
So…what do you guys think? Am I a moron for thinking this might actually be cool? Or is it just the nostalgia of that sweet FF music that is calling to me?
Never played any rhythm games but it looks interesting. I probably wouldn’t end up buying it because I’ve also never played any of the Final Fantasy’s (please dont hurt me Anthony). But I’ll certainly keep it on my radar.
I have to ask though, was that a real conversation?
I was prepared to just say “Unfazed.” Then I realised it’s the closest thing I’ll ever get to a Gitaroo Man sequel. As soon as it got to the part where the battle music and rhythm worked in harmony my wallet flew at the screen. As long as it has stuff from FFX I’ll be very happy.

haha, no, sadly. I wish it were real. If I had someone who lived near me who cared about games as much as I do, this would be the exchange.
Makes me wish for my 3-disc (then) FFIII soundtrack. I was a nerd in high school, but I loved that soundtrack.
