You might be interested to hear that the concept for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy came well before the creation of the 3DS.

Producer Ichiro Hazama revealed in a new Japanese Iwata Asks interview that he had hoped to make the game for the DS following the completion of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. The system’s lack of power and storage limitations prevented Hazama from beginning development, however.

And that’s where the 3DS came in. Hazama knew that the handheld would be able bring his ideas to fruition. Once Hazama saw the 3DS, he quickly met up with Indies Zero, the studio behind the title, to finalize plans. Tetsuya Nomura approved of the project and the team was able to begin development on the same day.

Thanks to 4Him for the tip!

In addition to being the first game in the “Little Tail Bronx” series, Tail Concerto was also CyberConnect2’s first project. The title didn’t sell particularly well, and I’m sure Mamoru-kun met a similar fate.

Due to Tail Concerto’s poor sales, Namco Bandai wasn’t too interested in CyberConnect 2’s pitch for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter.

You might be wondering how the studio persuaded Namco Bandai into publishing the game given this fact.

Director Takayuki Isobe provided an explanation in an interview with Gamasutra:

“To overcome the weak points with Tail Concerto, we created massive amounts of assets, generating multiple concept documents, each time refining the world and settings to create a game with a very deep story and a detailed world view that even a mature audience could enjoy, and eventually were able to get the green light from our client.”
