Theatrhythm Final Fantasy review: More fun to play than to say

I’m probably alone in feeling this way, but for me Final Fantasy is at its best when it puts the melodrama aside and embraces a sense of fun. Sometimes – not often – a Final Fantasy will acknowledge the ridiculousness of its characters and setting, and just give you a quest about chocobos or a pop-star protagonist, and it feels much more appropriate than being asked to take the usual group of overdressed, snotty amnesiacs seriously as they wander the forest fighting timid cacti and Bedazzling their armor.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy represents that whimsy in concentrated form – a celebration of the barest essence of Final Fantasy. More than that, of course, it’s a celebration of the series’ musical legacy, which is something worth celebrating.Gallery: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (E3 2012)Continue reading Theatrhythm Final Fantasy review: More fun to play than to sayTheatrhythm Final Fantasy review: More fun to play than to say originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:30:00 EST.
