In Final Bar Line the game incorrectly states that The Emperor's Absolute Dominion ability inflicts Blind on a boss enemy when it appears when the ability actually inflicts Silence. The funny thing is The Emperor's character description correctly states that his abilities inflict Silence on enemies.
Due to an oversight, Final Bar Line is unplayable on February 29th. This is due to the game searching for the current date upon starting it up, but can’t start because Leap Day isn't coded. Coincidentally, this happened to be the same day that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth released on.
Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: Curtain Call has a version of this. It came with a special 3DS pouch, 2 CDs with best of and remixed songs, and physical CollectaCards. First-run copies of the game came with a smaller version that came with just the remix CD.
Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": Footage and music from Final Fantasy Type-0 is retained in the Western releases, despite that region not getting Type-0 till the HD remake in March 2015. And of course, there's "Somnus" from what was then Versus XIII and is now Final Fantasy XV appearing in the original game, although it's conspicuously absent in the iOS port and Curtain Call. Finally, a few tracks that were released as DLC are originally from games that never left Japan at the time, such as "Megalomania" from Live A Live or "Sacrifice" from Trials of Mana.
Krile is the only DLC character not to be released outside of Japan, and Square has said they don't plan to release her. Why she remains exclusive to Japan is a mystery, but fans aren't happy about it. Apparently she's less important than having two Clouds and Auron with his arm in his sleeve.
As expected of a Japanese-developed arcade game, All-Star Carnival is Japan-only...mostly. It is available in Round 1 centers in the United States, complete with NESiCA network connectivity and functionality, but the interface is still in Japanese.
Theatrhythm Dragon Quest was not localized due to the franchise's relative unpopularity outside of its home country and predating the big push for Dragon Quest localizations that Square would lean into in the late 2010s.
Remade for the Export: All-Star Carnival, which features a control scheme and game mechanics different from the 3DS games, was only released in Japan, with a limited distribution in the United States through Round 1 locations. Final Bar Line effectively serves as a console port of ASC, featuring its gameplay and charts, but available globally.
Theatrhythm was originally planned for the DS, but was moved to the 3DS due to greater storage capacity.
According to Masanobu Suzui, the game was originally conceived under the title Final Fantasy Is Music. Tetsuya Nomura coined the name "Theatrhythm" instead, which took off due to its uniqueness.
