Story
★★★★★
"Anecdotal"
Decades of characters are brought down to one and the same doll template. Big head, tiny body, hands without fingers: the device levels styles that nothing brought together, from the earliest knight to the most recent heroes, and each is recognised by one unique detail, a hairstyle, a weapon, a colour. The backdrops, handled as small scrolling watercolours, leave the stave to occupy most of the image.
With over two hundred tracks from across the saga, this sequel unfurls the vastest Final Fantasy anthology ever gathered in a rhythm game. Each theme, faithfully re-orchestrated, recalls a memory and calls you to tap in time. This boundless generosity, vibrant with emotion, fulfils enthusiasts without reserve.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
This sequel swells the setlist to over two hundred tracks and multiplies the modes, from duels to online versus: the joy of rhythm meets wild generosity. Following the notes of legendary themes stays a precise, moving pleasure, now inexhaustible. Nostalgic and complete, a peak of the music game for anyone who cherishes the Final Fantasy saga.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Padding out the concert with a colossal tracklist and new modes, versus among them, ensures that one finished track instantly calls for another from among hundreds. Collecting and leveling up your party reignites the obsession. The additions stay in step with what came before, but this musical generosity and the precision of the rhythm keep a fearsome hook for the devoted.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"
Boasting over two hundred tracks from across the saga, this expansion pushes the limits of an already hefty rhythm game. Chaining the songs, aiming for perfection and unlocking all the content fills countless sessions. That musical generosity, made for fans, makes it one of the most durable cuts of the genre.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call PAL is the only boxed release of the game in Europe, distributed by Square Enix in a modest print. Collector value comes from the singular concept (rhythm meets JRPG over Nobuo Uematsu's iconic music) and from Theatrhythm receiving no further cartridge appearance after this entry, a configuration definitively closed.
Is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy - Curtain Call still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2014 on 3DS, Square Enix and indieszero's project celebrates the musical legacy of the Final Fantasy saga in a rhythm game of wild generosity, gathering more than two hundred tracks from across the series. The challenges, which ask you to tap, slide and hold with the stylus in time on exploration, battle or cutscene sequences, combine accessibility and sharp challenge. The adorable chibi art direction, the character progression system and the nostalgia make for an irresistible experience. The repetition of the formula over the long haul shows. A gem for fans of rhythm and of Final Fantasy.
