This month’s issue of GamesTM has a small interview with Square Enix producer Ichiro Hazama.

Hazama, who worked on Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, shared a few words about the 3DS game. Most interestingly, he mentioned that Curtain Call is intended to be “the definitive version of Final Fantasy Theatrhythm”.

Here’s his comments in full:

The songs themselves have great quality and stand up on their own, no question. Also, because they are used in games, I think that when people hear these songs they remember a particular scene or moment in the game.

What I’ve tried to do here is make the definitive version of Final Fantasy Theatrhythm; I don’t intend to make any others.
