this shit is FUCKING FLAMES OH MY GOD
i've always had immense respect for theatrhythm for doing the seemingly impossible: making me actually want to play final fantasy. literally a gun to my head would't be enough to get me to truthfully say "gee maybe i should give XIII another shot" but goddamn does this game do the impossible.
i dumped way too much time into the first two theatrhythms, but this game fucking demolishes those games in terms of just how much stuff there is. a ridiculous amount of songs, new difficulty levels, an insane amount of characters, song-specific sidequests... to be honest this is about as deep as a rhythm game can get. stuff like the party system has been completely overhauled, and now every character has a unique role/gimmick - which is absolutely insane considering how many there are. even though your rhythm game skills arent gonna rely too heavily on what kind of party you're working with, it's still a blast to slap together dudes to take on certain sidequests.
i have zero complaints about this game that aren't wholly selfish. i kinda miss stylus controls, there are some iconic songs that are weirdly absent, and im pissed that chads like irvine and sazh didnt make the cut (you fucking monsters). but i can see myself going for perfect chains on this one for a WHILE man
