History AndTheFandomRejoiced / TheatrhythmFinalFantasy

Creator/TetsuyaNomura's ExactWords about how "the next ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' game won't be in the series' current [=[=][[FightingGame fighting game]][=]=] form" resulted in a GenreShift that nobody could have seen coming: from fighting game, to RhythmGame. Despite the AudienceAlienatingPremise, what at first looked like a WidgetSeries-like weird mix turned out to avert the highly feared NoExportForYou (breaking a common tradition for Creator/SquareEnix, with a widget no less) status for the game.

* Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, a sequel for the Nintendo Switch, was announced at the September 2022 Nintendo Direct. Including 27 songs that are exclusive to the Digital Deluxe Editions and 90 DLC songs (including music from ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}'' and ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler''), the game is slated to feature '''over 500 songs'''.

* Not only is the game getting DLC, but the dev team hopes to release ''[[UpToEleven fifty songs]].''

* The demo was released on the [=eShop=]... and it has ''unlimited uses'', unlike other demos which only let you play a certain number of times.

* Select songs from ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'' are available as DLC! At first, they were only available in Japan, but a second moment of celebration occured when they were released overseas on Christmas Eve 2014, alongside several more songs, including [[FinalBoss "Meridian Dance"]] from ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' and [[InstrumentalThemeTune "Chrono Trigger"]] from... well... ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''.

This, along with a lot of early players stating to have surprisingly good opinions about this title, triggered a chain reaction of positive feedback for ''TheatrhythmFinalFantasy'', resulted in a long series of [[SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced Fandom-Rejoicing]] moments.

* Surely the fact that ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII One-Winged Angel]]'' is, for the first time, going to be heard on a Nintendo console won't hurt.
* And the fact that it's an EliteBeatAgents esque game ALSO can't hurt. The graphics however are definitely lacking.
