If we were to include all of the songs in their full length, then the game wouldn't be able to fit onto the cartridge.Īt the same time, playing the song in its full length also makes it hard to keep up your concentration.
And that brings up the issue of capacity. I totally understand, but - for example - 'Dancing Mad' is a very long song!Ĭonsidering that we wanted to pull in titles from spin-off games, our playlist would have been pretty enormous. One complaint - and that might be too strong a word - that players had with the original Theatrhythm was that it featured excerpts of songs rather than the full songs.Ĭurtain Call continues this trend - why did you opt for this approach? That might have contributed to the delay of the Western release - there aren't many people in the development team.Īfter they finished with the Japanese version, they jumped right into DLC creation but they were doing this in tandem with the localisation for the Western release. So, that's part of the reason there's a bit of a delay between the Japanese and Western versions.īut in this case, and I feel kind of sorry about this, there was a bit of lag between when the Japanese version was created and when we started working on the downloadable content.
Ichiro Hazama: In terms of determining release dates for the Western market, it does kind of depend on each region and what each region determines to be the appropriate date. Pocket Gamer: It took a while for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call to receive a Western release date - was there ever any doubt that you'd bring this over to your fans in the West? Square Enix was kind enough to set us up with an exclusive E3 interview with game producer Ichiro Hazama, who - via translator - was happy to talk Curtain Call with us. The upcoming Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is poised to contain all of this on one tiny cartridge - but we wanted to know the story behind its development and what lies ahead for Theatrhythm after this. They wanted more characters, more songs, and more play modes to experience. As a celebration of the past quarter decade of Final Fantasy games and music, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy didn't take long to find fans on the 3DS.īut these fans wanted more for Theatrhythm.
