It might take a long time to get to but there is a mode similar to Dark Notes and Quest Medley in Final Bar Line! If you complete every series you unlock an Endless World. It gives you a few options between songs and quests for each song which seem to be random and 3 lives. The main difference is that it's more an endurance mode than the other two!
This was from 11 months ago, so maybe you already know this now, but you don't actually have to finish all series, you just need to finish enough to unlock the actual Theatrhythm series, which I believe took 5 finished. Then you finish that and unlock Endless World.
I worked on initial translations for the All-Star Carnival translation project before I left the group. Sometimes it's nice to look back on it because it felt so magical when I first saw the English text pop up in the game. Thanks for showcasing that. Also I think the most interesting thing about the original Theatrhythm is that it featured Somnus as a DLC song back when FFXV was still called Versus XIII. Good thing we have it in Final Bar Line by default. Lovely song.
I actually remember that! I for some reason thought it was Curtain Call that had the track before looking it up and finding out it was the original. Really cool that "Versus XIII" officially still exists in a Final Fantasy game as sort of a little historical marker. Also, thanks for being a part of that community! I played a ton of ASC before Final Bar Line was out and it was nice having a bit of localization. :)
Great vid! One thing I miss in Final Bar Line are the character bios/descriptions on the backs of the cards. I thought it was cool to check out in Curtain Call. But it’s amazing that they released a new theatrhythm game
I wish you touched a little more on the original song arrangements Theatrhythm had Battle at the Big Bridge in All Star Carnival is one of the best literal boss songs I've heard and I will never stop talking about it
Final Bar Line made me go back to Curtain Call instead of buying the new game, maybe one day on sale 🤣 glad we’re all enjoying every Theatrhythm game out there It’s one of those games you don’t mind having options for-even the original release feels a little special to own. It’s cozy, and seeing the little differences in song list and presentation is really cute too
The more I watch the old footage the more I REALLY really appreciate how big and bold they were!!!!! It’s so cute! I forgot how they form a sentence together! Aaaaaaaaaaaa I’m so glad I own the original too. I haven’t played it in a long time but it’s so Damn CUTE! And stylus mode is my favorite and is part of why I like the 3DS game more than the new console release. Plus I can play it in bed with the 3ds at full speaker volume 5 inches from my face LOL it’s very intimate 😂
OH also I really did like X-2 and XIII-2! I was OBSESSED with X-2, and I’m glad I was. I got wall scrolls and playing cards and gunner Yuna figures, which isn’t normal for me, it’s really wholesome....and I thought XV was great at launch....but I didn’t finish it after I did every side quest available at the time because I didn’t want to fight Leviathan 💀 and have things happen 😂 and I don’t want to buy the DLC or Royal Ending....aaaaaaaaaaa😂😂😂 but hey that’s okay, it was good on release. Just wish they had better storytelling when it comes to Lunafreya and some other stuff. Needed more depth. The whole DLC approach suckkked. I guess that’s what’s bad about the original release. Exploring with the Bros was top tier though.
I’m going to be the crazy lady replying to herself one last time. This video was a really fun watch! The most special thing about stylus use to me is that button-based rhythm gameplay is kind of the norm, and the norm is okay! It works! But the Stylus Control is so lively, so different, so organic! It really feels like conducting or dancing, in contrast with straight mechanical button controls.
i love those games, playing curtain call, all-star carnival and final bar line pretty much everyday....definitely the best one and my favorite is curtain call, i have like 550 hours of playtime
I think this video sold me on checking out the Theatryhm games. I’ve always overlooked them, thinking they wouldn’t do much for me gameplay wise but it seems I may have been wrong about that. I’m going to have to keep it in mind and pick up Final Bar Line sometime this year. For your “hot takes”: I completely agree with FF15 being a good game. The story isn’t great but it’s so much fun to explore the open world and, take on hunts, listen to character banter, and so on. It’s a great experience. I mostly agree with X-2. The combat system is incredible, one of my favorites of the entire series. I wish the story flowed better and was fleshed out more though. I love the concept they were going for, but I don’t feel like the game really gets to the point where the true ending works as well as it should. 13-2 is excellent. I’d argue 13 itself is pretty good too, it just takes way too long to get to the best parts.
I have never once seen the fmv cut scenes in FBL and I also miss them very much, since I liked them in the earlier titles (also the mode, not only the scenes), I have to play FBL more to see the EMS and try it out!
Got Final Bar Line as a bday gift recently and it's amazing. Already had the ones on 3DS but didn't really play them. It's more fun on switch imo and there's so much to choose from. Also can't wait to play the ff16 songs in it.
I just played the first one a few days ago on the 3DS and am having a blast. Makes me glad I discovered the series by accident when I saw it on the PS4 store.
I personally prefer the stylus over buttons. It's why I think Final Curtain Call is the best of them all. Though the song library in 3 is obviously better.
I really missed my old 3DS and Curtain Calls, this gives some so much memory! However, I’m still currently playing Theatrhythm Final Bar Line on my switch and still having a blast! There was also a mobile port for IOS (IPhone/IPad) but I know they were removed due to lack of compatibility with newer updates of IOS.
With the recent release of the megaman battle network collection can you do all the megaman games I know there's a lot so maybe a collection at a time then what the collections skiped/have yet to cover
The first game was great when it came out, but it's shocking how bad it is now compared to everything afterwards, especially Final Bar Line, which now has 523 tracks with all the DLC haha.
Pls pls do play every star wars game revenge of the sith edition im sure you love it even the lego one you can even play unleashed 1and2 in continuity with the exit of jedi survivor like and share always support your hard work
Which Final Fantasy game has the best soundtrack? Also, were you able to identify all of the songs from the intro? :)
X
Hands down VIII.
Final fantasy 7 (only played 7)
Definitely XV
Tie between 6 and 7
Oooh im so glad this series isn't forgotten. I put so many hours into Curtain Call and u had a blast. ^_^
I'll never forgive them for getting rid of Proficard titles, I had a lot of fun just seeing what the randomiser could come up with
That was a pretty fun feature

Oh wow! For once I don't feel super bad for missing that since the game literally just came out 😅

Dang, and here I was giving it a break. Gotta get back on that grind 🤣
Great vid, man!
All Critical on Ultimate difficulty! Get to it! (Thank you! :D)
Such an excellent, informative review. Subscribed.

brilliant I always love your videos they always make me smile

I believe the iOS version had songs the 3DS version didn't, right? 😭

ooh boy, I just want a dissidia remastered like what they did with CC
I wanted to ask you, as Eshop closed, can I still buy the game's DLC?
I am too broke to afford the new game on switch :( I really wanna get it though!
I'm a huge FF fan, but I've never heard of these games! I'll have to give them a whirl. Also, FF7 has the best soundtrack. Tifa's theme ftw!
Did u enjoy the Final Fantasy: Record Keeper Tracks
YEAH BABY THAT WHAT WE WAITING FOR
Lmfao now why did you roast Squall’s face like that??
A suprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
Every Shovel Knight please.
I hope someone, some day will translate Theat Dragon Quest.
I would like them to release Final Bar Line on PC. So I can buy a 3rd copy and play it on my Steam Deck.
Editorsai looks much more based than his profile picture self
it has been heard therefore i must make fun of it. thank goodness for that downloadable downloadable content 13:15
No you're right, much shame to me 😭
The first game was great when it came out, but it's shocking how bad it is now compared to everything afterwards, especially Final Bar Line, which now has 523 tracks with all the DLC haha.
Yeah, I agree 100%. First game was surpassed in basically every way!
Were you able to try out the iPhone version?
Unfortunately not ):
If only Curtain Call's online wasnt dead...
I still hurt Lann and Reynn as a lilikin stack and jack didn't make it even if they got songs in, also aria and penelo should have been playable
You think they’ll ever add FF XVI to Final Bar Line?
I have a hunch it's one of the hidden DLCs 👀
Wish we could get some of these on switch, but guess gotta shell for a PS5 but I wanna shell for a few more games on switch 😅
The newest one is on Switch! In fact, I'd highly recommend the newest one over any previous version :)
@@Niosai 😱 LESGOOO!!! I hope it runs well thanks man 😁👍
I really need Quina in the game! Dlc with new characters when? :(
I really hope we get some FF16 DLC, but I'm not holding my breath. My DREAM DLC is Kingdom Hearts but that probably will never happen lol
This doesn't seem like my thing, not really into rythmn games or FF but it seems like a good fan service series.
Oh fuck its coming soon
Pls pls do play every star wars game revenge of the sith edition im sure you love it even the lego one you can even play unleashed 1and2 in continuity with the exit of jedi survivor like and share always support your hard work
play theatyrm dragon quest
I played every total war series
They're on the list, but I'm super bad at them 😂
Plz make a Every Naruto game ever!!
Once I cover all the Naruto game series, I'm thinking about releasing a Naruto Marathon supercut with all of them in one video haha
Theatrhythm Dragon Quest? :c
I mentioned it toward the end, but I do plan on covering that eventually! Maybe when I do the inevitable Dragon Quest video someday :)
Moosic man
You forgot the iOS version
I mentioned it a couple of times :)
Dead or alive series.
At this point I’ll have to watch people play the new game 😅 I was lucky to even manage FF15 when it was new
Why did they call it cp
They could have called it anything and they chose cp
