Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Square Enix has made two Theatrhythm games thus far, both of which are completely Final Fantasy-oriented. Where can the series go from here – if anywhere?
While not at all confirmed, Theathrhythm producer Ichiro Hazama recently hinted to GameSpot that other series could be considered. He said that he’s “thinking about other titles with music that we produce”. Make of that what you will!
“This is just my own broad thinking, but we’re probably going to draw the line on Final Fantasy. This will be the last Theatrhythm featuring Final Fantasy. I’m thinking about other titles with music that we produce, we can do something with that.”
