Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call represents a whole bunch of games. Square Enix probably won’t be coming out with another Final Fantasy-oriented Theatrhythm game in the future, but later entries in the series (such as Final Fantasy XV presumably) will be featured through DLC.

Producer Ichiro Hazama told Polygon:

“We wanted to make it so Curtain Call is like your base, and then you would add more songs as newer titles joined the roster and be able to accommodate for DLC or things like that and build upon it. But that would be our final form of Theatrhythm that handles the Final Fantasy songs. In terms of Final Fantasy songs, we will continue to produce new Final Fantasy titles and with that, there’ll be new songs added to the repertoire.”

“No matter where you cut and where you eat, it’s still a tasty piece of cake. With Theatrhythm, I made sure to kind of pick up the ante on the music flavor, the rhythm flavor of the Final Fantasy elements. We’re focusing on that music aspect of Final Fantasy, but we make sure to not cut corners and make it as polished as possible. That’s what I focused on in this game, and I am confident that if we continue to do that and bring a really polished product, people will enjoy it and it won’t be yet another spin-off that’s just out there. I want to continue making games like that.”

Courtesy of the latest Shonen Jump, a few screenshots and art pieces of Final Fantasy Explorers have emerged giving us a taste of what’s to come. Additionally, the 4 of the jobs that are available in the game have been outlined:

Knight – Well-balanced in offense and defense. In addition to their offensive capabilities have specialised skills that can be used for guarding
Monk – All about physical attacks similar to past games, Monks rush down enemies with barrages of attacks, with low defensive and high health
Black Mage – Offensive magic experts, can attack enemies from a long range. Presumably ‘glass cannon’ type characters i.e. high damage but fairly low defensive options
White Mage – Heals and powers up allies
