Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call likely the series’ last entry
Curtain Call is the second entry in the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy series. The game will likely be its last.
Producer Ichiro Hazama, speaking with Famitsu, has suggested that there won’t be any additional Theatrhythm titles. Hazama said Curtain Call is intended to be “the newest, the best, and the final one.”
He said:
“We’re thinking that we’d like this to be the final Theatrhythm. It’ll be the newest, the best, and the final one. A lot of rhythm action game sequels don’t include the songs from the original game, but with our project, if we didn’t include tunes like ‘Clash on the Big Bridge’ [FF5] or ‘Isn’t It Wonterful’ [FF10], you can’t place the FF crown on that. So instead of just adding new songs, we want to have this game be the base upon which we add new songs and try to get as close to a complete song list as possible.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Hazama talked about Curtain Call’s new multiplayer mode.
“It’s a bit like competitive multiplayer on a falling-block puzzle game. As you make successful taps and beat monsters, your gauge fills up and you’ll trigger effects to get in the way of your opponent’s game.”
