Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is off to a fine start in Japan, especially having outsold its predecessor.
Square Enix’s rhythm game sold 80,523 copies in its first week, according to Media Create. That amounts to a 55.72 percent sell-through rate. While it may seem like a low number, Curtain Call’s initial shipment was carefully determined.
The original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy sold 67,000 copies in its first week and experienced a 90.04 percent sell-through rate. This resulted in many stores running out of copies and stock was constrained for some time, leading to potential missed sales.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call won’t suffer the same fate. Media Create says the title will sell steadily going forward given the positive stock situation.

Speaking about the prototype, Terada added:
