in the past


The one that started the Theathythm gameplay. Kinda expected that Square Enix would have covered basically every other franchise, including Dragon Quest and KH with Melody of Memories.

What to say? If we go beyond the awful DLC management (way worse on smartphone devices, and now with no more 3DS online...) the game has some amazing selection to relieve the nostalgia.

Played at the arcade - it's a rhythm game I always look for whenever I go to one.

Great game, but it lacked some depth. The two that came after are better!

Système de combat étoffé, aptitudes bien cool, scénario sympa, système de mercenaires efficace,... Mais déjà l'épisode du trop pour la formule ActionRPG.
Trop grand, trop répétitif, trop de choses à faire, trop de points d'intérêt, trop long... juste trop.

this was my absolute shit as a kid. like, this singlehandedly made me interested in final fantasy. thankfully, theatrhythm allows me to experience the parts of ff that are actually good (the music) without actually playing that shit. i can't tell you how much time i sunk into dark notes and unlocking characters, this game's fun as hell.

but as an adult, i realize that those dark notes were grindy as fuck and were the same 20 songs recycled ad infinitum. and they only had like 5 songs for each game. so this game's practically worthless now, unfortunately :(


Beautifully executed, but not really my cup of tea.

Tellement peu de musiques par opus, dommage. Mais bon le gameplay est trop cool.

Promising but very light on content (plus the strange scoring system). Thankfully later games will fix both

65 music pieces from 13 games in a series revered for it's music? That's some bullshit right there. Still fun, though.

The first one. Very limited in both content and gameplay variety. Feels like Square Enix was testing the waters with this one.
The sequels are superior in every way possible, so there is no reason to play this one now.

I had very little Final Fantasy experience when I first played this, so it was a fun way to acquaint myself with the music and general vibes of the series (that I hadn't gotten from Kingdom Hearts).
The base collection of songs was very small, it didn't bother me much at the time but in hindsight it was pretty lacking without DLC. That said, I think they made good selections for what was included and combined with the gameplay made for an enjoyable and addictive time.

I'd bump it up to three if the better re-release spontaneously disappeared from this earth, but if you're like me and thinking "original, or Curtain Call?": you want Curtain Call.

Went back to this after having already finished Curtain Call a couple of years back but still really love this game even if it might lack in the content department comparatively. You can't go wrong with Final Fantasy music, so good!

Joguinho de ritmo do Balacobaco

Me deu vontade de jogar os outros final fantasy

Está divertido pero que tampoco te cambia la vida, un juego de ritmo simplón, con buena música y algo falto de contenido.
