Theatrhythm Final Bar Line[a] is a 2023 rhythm game developed by indieszero and published by Square Enix for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. It is the fifth entry in the Theatrhythm sub-series. Its gameplay is mechanically similar to prior entries in the series, involving players' timing inputs to various pieces of themed music.

As the title Final Bar Line marked, it is the final installment of the Theatrhythm series. With a development period of approximately two years, the game was designed to appeal to both casual and hardcore players, featuring a wide range of difficulty levels and a total of 505 tracks including main and spin-off of Final Fantasy titles, as well as and other Square Enix games. The game's design was influenced by previous entries in the series, including Curtain Call (2014), Theatrhythm Dragon Quest (2015) and the arcade-exclusive Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: All-Star Carnival (2016), with a focus on accessibility and engaging gameplay, while also an enhanced role-playing element.

Final Bar Line received positive reviews. Critics praised its idea that fusion of Final Fantasy and rhythm gameplay, and recommended the title to fans of both. The extensive and diverse track library was a highlight, and the beatmaps, which balanced accessibility for beginners and challenge for hardcore players, were particularly praised. However, the role-playing elements and the removal of the stylus control received mixed reviews.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, similar to previous titles in Theatrhythm series, follows the basic mechanics of rhythm games, where notes flow towards trigger marks following the rhythm of songs, while players press buttons and flick joysticks on beat.[1][2] The game features three types of notes: a red note demands a single press of any button; a yellow arrowed note necessitates a directionally stick flicking; and a green bar note requires a sustained hold.[3][4] As a home console title on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, Final Bar Line no longer supports touchscreen control, which did by its Nintendo 3DS predecessors;[5] instead, some new patterns, such as dual-button presses, were introduced.[6]

There are 385 songs in Final Bar Line, or 505 if including the additional purchasable songs. While predominantly from the Final Fantasy series, including main titles, spin-offs and mobile titles, some of the songs are from other Square Enix titles. Tracks—referred to as Music Stages[1]—are designed into three types: BMS (Battle Music Stages), FMS (Field Music Stages) and EMS (Event Music Stages).[7] The experiences in BMS or EMS are similar to those in Guitar Hero or other classic rhythm games, with notes scrolling from left to right or top to bottom along four fixed linear tracks.[3] FMS, while similar to BMS in that notes move from left to right, features only one track and its special bar notes.[8] These bar notes shift up and down and require players to manipulate a joystick to follow these movements and simultaneously hold down a button.[4][3] In BMS and FMS, the backgrounds display Chibi-style characters and enemies, while EMS features a video clip from the corresponding Final Fantasy title.[5] Each song has three or four difficulty levels: while Basic, Expert and Ultimate are for all songs, Supreme, the most challenging level, is available only for around a third of tracks.[9][10] In addition to the Standard gameplay style, players can choose from two alternations: the Simple style, which converts all notes to single button inputs; and the Pair style, where two players share notes in co-operative.[11]

Final Bar Line also incorporates light role-playing game elements,[8] similar to those found in Final Fantasy titles. Before playing a song, players can edit their party by assigning up to four characters from Final Fantasy titles. There are 104 characters from different Final Fantasy games, with each character having their own type (such as physical, magic, and healing), level, statistics and abilities, and every character can be assigned up to three abilities. During stages, the party automatically battles with enemies when notes are triggered. The damage value is related to how accurately the players hit the note;[8] missing a note will cause the character to be attacked, resulting in a loss of HP. If all characters lose all their HP, the track is aborted and the result is failed. On the other hand, if the song is cleared, the party members earn experience points to level up, and the player may receive various items that can aid in battles, as well as a collection card featuring characters, enemies or scenes.[6][9] In addition, there are summonstones that can be equipped by the party, which can automatically summon a monster to deal significant damage to enemies.[12]

Final Bar Line featured three modes: Series Quests, Music Stages, and Multi Battle. Series Quests is the basic approach mode in which players unlock new elements.[4] There are 29 items corresponding to various Final Fantasy titles.[4] A title contains multiple stages, with most having around a dozen. Each stage features its quests, which players can obtain rewards by accomplishing them. Quests range from incorporating certain characters into their party, reaching enough scores, to defeating a boss. To finish the last type of quests, players may use tactical strategies, such as including a magic-type character to exploit the boss's weakness.[13][2][5][9] By clearing a title, players can unlock songs and characters, and obtain a key to access other locked titles.[4] Songs that have unlocked can be freely played in the Music Stages mode to achieve the highest scores.[11][7] Another mode is Multi Battle, where up to four players can be accommodated per room to achieve the highest score.[4]

Development and release

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line was developed by indieszero. As with previous titles in the Theatrhythm series, Ichirō Hamuza, a staff of Square Enix, served as a producer, while Masanobu Suzui, the president of indieszero, assumed the role of director.[14][15] The project was commenced in early 2021, around the time the Windows version of Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, a rhythm game in the Kingdom Hearts series, was finished. The development period spanned approximately two years, following indieszero's typical development cycle, though they had made some preparations.[15]

Although Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, the 2014 predecessor, hinted at being the last installment of the Theatrhythm series, the developer stated that, Final Bar Line, true to its name, will be the finale of the series. The title Final Bar Line was inspired by the design of the user interface, which features five-line staffs,[15][16] and was determined in the initial stages of development in consultation with Tetsuya Nomura, a Final Fantasy director. Unlike its predecessors, the term "Final Fantasy" was removed. On one hand, this decision followed Nomura's suggestion to avoid having two "final" words; on the other hand, despite predominantly featuring songs from the Final Fantasy series, the developers believed it was time to establish Theatrhythm as its brand.[15] As the final installment in the series, the developers expressed their hope that it "can be enjoyed for a decade".[15][14]

Design

The developers noticed the engagement from players with the 2014 Nintendo 3DS predecessor, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, especially in its versus mode. And by the experience of the 2016 arcade title Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: All-Star Carnival, they recognized that while there is a benefit in showcasing rhythm elements, but arcades are weak at support role-playing experiences. Drawing from their experience with the 2016 arcade title Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: All-Star Carnival, they recognized arcades are good at showcasing rhythm elements while less adept at supporting role-playing experiences. While developing Melody of Memory, they had also gained their proficiency in developing rhythm games using the Unity engine. Additionally, the team received petitions from players requesting a home console version of the Theatrhythm series. Consequently, the developers concluded that it was time to develop a home console title of Theatrhythm.[15]

Curtain Call featured both touchscreen and button controls, whereas the arcade version and Melody of Memory only supported button controls. The developers referenced both the 3DS and the arcade title to address this shift: they added simultaneous pressing or two-direction triggers from All-Star Carnival on one hand, and considered how to make it accessible for Curtain Call players on the other. Further more. FMS in Final Bar Line is also based on the arcade game, but wave long bars were also adjusted with referencing to Curtain Call.[17] There was an initial consideration for Final Bar Line that retain to feature touchscreen, though the idea was eventually dropped: unlike the pressure-sensitive touchscreen of the 3DS, it is a challenge to distinguish between touch and swipes in Nintendo Switch's capacitive touchscreen.[15] There is a significant change regarding the EMS in Final Bar Line. In its predecessor on the Nintendo 3DS, the trigger mark follows variable-speed movement like conductor's wand, which received criticism. For Final Bar Line, the developers drew inspiration from Theatrhythm Dragon Quest and Melody of Memory that notes drop directly from top to bottom.[18]

While positioned as a sequel to Curtain Call, Final Bar Line is also designed to appeal to hard-cored players of the arcade title. To ensure enjoyment for both novices and enthusiasts of rhythm games, the difficulty of the musical scores were designed to span a wide range.[19] Beatmaps for Basic or Expert difficulty levels are designed with "easy to play" in mind, with strategies such as holds instead of presses, minimizing simultaneous actions, and ensuring ample spacing between notes.[20] While for the technical charts of Ultimate and Supreme difficulty levels, designers approach the task with the concept of "carving out the score from the music". For instance, they placing an up or down arrow note when the melody ascends or descends even simply pressing is challenging enough, or incorporate double taps or flips during the climax or conclusion of a piece.[21] Initially, the charts created by the team tended towards challenging due to their familiarity with rhythm games. However, during the later stages of development, team members less experienced in rhythm games highlighted this problem. Consequently, the developers reviewed and revised the charts accordingly.[19]

While role-playing elements allows players who are less skilled in rhythm games to progress by strengthening their character party and pairing the skills of their characters,[15] the developers aimed to furthermore enrich the role-playing elements of the game.[22] This includes displaying damage values, adding elemental properties such as fire or water, and assigning resistances and weaknesses to enemies, introducing abnormal statuses which effect for both players and enemies. The design of strong bosses and an endless mode encourages players to level up their characters to face these challenges.[22] Moreover, they introduce occasional battles in FMS to recall the emotions of players as they wander in the world of the original title.[17]

The game features characters and monsters with Chibi style, which were drawn by Monster Octopus, the veteran character designer of the Theatrhythm series.[23] The design process for the enemy character Ardyn from Final Fantasy XV left a strong impression on the artist, as understanding the structure of Ardyn's clothing was challenging, while to balance the visual impact of the character and his weapons took an amount of time.[24] While the logos of previous Theatrhythm titles were designed by Monster Octopus, the logo for Final Bar Line was illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano, the primary logo designer for the Final Fantasy series. The developer commissioned Amano to design a logo that featuring a Moogle violinist in performing, who surrounded by characters playing various instruments, along with a backdrop of a five-line staff with musical notes. After several months, they received the completed artwork.[25] Final Bar Line is the first Theatrhythm title to feature an opening movie. With the video with massive transition matching with the fast-paced music, Suzui aims to boost players' motivation and attract the interest of store shoppers and online video viewers. While the ending movie adheres to the series' formula, it features chibi-style characters and monsters.[26]

Track library

Including edition-exclusive tracks and downloadable contents, Final Bar Line featured a collection of 505 tracks. Among them 385 are standard songs, which ranging from 15 numbered titles and their sequels, along with spin-offs like Type-0, and mobile titles such as Mobius Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Record Keeper.[4] In terms of number, this is 167 more than its predecessor Curtain Call.[27] 27 tracks, including "Eyes on Me" from Final Fantasy VIII and "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X, are Deluxe editions exclusive.[28] 93 songs are downloadable, which include other Square Enix titles, such as Live A Live, The World Ends with You, Octopath Traveler, Nier, Xenogears, the Chrono series and the Mana series, along with Final Fantasy XVI, which was released after the Final Bar Line.[29] Initially, information indicated that there was a total of 502 tracks; but finally three extra tracks were added to the Final Fantasy XVI package.[28]

The team compiled an extensive list of tracks and subsequently deliberated on selecting the track library.[19] The order of consideration is as follows: first the main Final Fantasy titles, then the Final Fantasy spin-offs, and the latest Square Enix titles.[30] Factors such as popularity, recency, suitability for rhythm gameplay, and equilibrium among titles were taken into account during the selection process.[19][31] Additionally, the team referenced survey data from the arcade title.[18] Final Fantasy XIV, an MMORPG with a decade of operation featured a thousand of tracks, significantly contributed 33 tracks to the song library.[30] When selecting songs for downloadable content (DLC), around two-fifths of the candidate songs were from the SaGa series, partly due to the staff's flavor. And for each pack in DLCs, there is at least one brand-new song that was not included in Curtain Call or All-Star Carnival.[31] Regarding the absence of Square Enix series Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts, the developer stated that the two have their games to focus on.[30] Due to the worldwide release of Final Bar Line, copyright concerns were considered. Negotiations for the copyright of "Eyes on Me" by Faye Wong spanned a year,[19] while some other tracks can't be included due to unresolved copyright issues.[18]

Release and marketing

Final Bar Line was revealed in Nintendo Direct on 13 September 2022, and was scheduled to be released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on 16 February 2023,[32] which was the anniversary of the original Theatrhythm.[14] The demo version was released on February 1, 2023. Players can play 30 tracks with all difficulties, and 30 characters with limited experience level. The play record can be transferred to the full version of the game.[14] Suzui explain that, for a game that lacks a story, it is beneficial to shorten the time between its unveiling and its release, and releasing a demo version just two weeks before is an effective way to maintain player interest.[18]

The title was released on 16 February 2023. On February 18, Square Enix hosted a livestream event, featuring gameplay by Hamuza and commentary by Suzui. They were joined by guests including Final Fantasy composers Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Shimomura and Masayoshi Soken, as well as producer Yoshinori Kitase, for chatting about the music in the series.[33]

There are three editions of Final Bar Line: the standard edition, the Digital Deluxe Edition and the Premium Digital Deluxe Edition. There are three season passes, each including several song packs; and each pack was released approximately two to three weeks apart.[34] The first pack was released with the launch of the game, and the last addition, "Final Fantasy XVI pack" from season pass 3, was released on 1 November 2023.[35] The developer said that there are no further season passes planned. Talking about the business model, developer said Just Dance-like subscription model is modern, but they believe console titles are designed to be enjoyed with a one-time payment, with players who enjoy the game have the option to purchase downloadable contents.[30]

Reception

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic;[36][37] while the title got a 95% critics recommend by the statistic from OpenCritic.[38] The overall idea, the fusion of Final Fantasy with rhythm gameplay, was acclaimed by reviews.[3][27][13][7] While GameSpot called the gameplay system "approachable yet deceptively challenging",[3] Destructoid found it "done a fantastic job of translating songs from the ears to the fingers".[13] They recommend the Final Bar Line to fans of Final Fantasy, rhythm games, or both.[11][41][39] The Gamer called the game "is the platonic ideal of fanservice",[41] while VG247 found it a serviceable title with a risk-averse nature.[40]

The design of chart-related was generally well received. Reviews found that beatmaps are precise.[13][42] Game Bonfire reviewed that in most songs, notes are precisely synchronized with the track's rhythm, resulting a feeling of satisfaction and excitement.[42] Reviewers also highlighted the game is for both newcomers and hardcore players: beginners could easily clear songs in Simple Style, while dedicated players could take on the newly introduced Supreme difficulty.[11][42] Nintendo Life prised the game's accessibility setting, including adjustable note speed, background animation dimming, and an alternative color scheme for colorblind players.[7] The reception of the new EMS format is varied: VG247 praised the new gameplay, saying it's ideal for enjoying background video flips; GameSpot, while agreeing with this, wished to retain the unique scattered note design in predecessors.[40][3]

Reviewers of Final Bar Line noticed the absence of touch functionality, a feature that was available in its Nintendo 3DS predecessors. Several critics complained about this omission, particularly against the using the stick for managing the up-and-down movement of long bars.[43][39][40] Push Square said handling the up-and-down shifts of long bars by control stick to be either "boring" or "awkward", while VG247 liked the conductor feeling when using a stylus.[39][40] However, another reviewers found that the control scheme could be adapted, and that doing so might even contribute to the game better than its predecessors.[7][5][4][41][11][42][44] Nintendo Life believe that "it can take some getting used to", and "once the controls clicked for us, we felt like a maestro".[7] The Gamer agreed with this, and echoing IGN, stated that the use of the second stick made the game more challenging".[41][11]

The new introduced Series Quests mode was generally acclaimed by reliable sources. Game Rant called the mode "main attraction", and said that although the locked mechanics initially restrict players' song choices, this limitation ultimately encourages them to explore a variety of songs.[45] Reviews also thought that the mode is a "nostalgic journey", offering a "fun trip through the series' history".[45][39] Nintendo Life and Game Bonfire further stated that quests pay homage to the corresponding titles, which evoking empathy in players: for example, the task in Crisis Core's "The Price of Freedom" requires players to defeat 30 SOLDIER enemies, which Zack has done in the finale of the game.[7][42] However, IGN dissatisfied with that "there isn't a story or anything beyond the music itself to keep you hooked".[11]

The light role-playing elements was reviewed by the media. Several reviewers have considered this system to have a strategic impact on gameplay, with giving it a Final Fantasy flavor[11][45][41][27][42][39] IGN believed that the strategic arrangement of party members could determine the success in both quest completion and multiple battles,[11] while Game Rant explained that, although character skills may initially appear useless, they eventually help players defeat bosses before the song finish.[45] The Gamer stated that the role-playing elements provide players with the motivation to unlock characters and are essential for the Endless Mode.[41] Push Square, while agreed that the role-playing elements could be ignored, said it makes Final Bar Line a Final Fantasy game.[39] However, some critics deemed this automatic and passive feature not crucial, even "superficial".[7][13][3][10][4] While Nintendo Life noted it's "not an essential" but "fun",[7] Destructoid commented that "once you have a healer or two in your party, there's no real reason to think about that system ever again".[13]

Reviewers praised Final Bar Line in its extensive track library,[5][7] especially noting its significant addition to the previous titles.[13][27][4] Destructoid remarked that, in comparison to Curtain Call with 221 songs and Melody of Memory with 143 tracks, Final Bar Line has an "absurd amount of content".[13] The coverage and diversity of tracks have also been commended by critics, ranging from popular and famous songs to lesser-known titles such as Mystic Quest or Mobius, as well as remixes and adaptations of "Final Fantasy" songs.[5][41][7][11] GameSpot additionally praised the game for its inclusion of a song by The Star Onions, a band of Final Fantasy composer Naoshi Mizuta,[5] while The Gamer noted that there are five different versions of "Battle on the Big Bridge".[41] However, Game Rant expressed their dissatisfaction, feeling that a bunch of great music was absent, and Mystic Quest, which outstanding in music, only got a minor proportion, while repetitive songs were too similar to result a tedious feeling.[45] Some reviews felt its oddly that lacking of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.[4][41] Critics also complained about the commercial strategy, as iconic tracks like "To Zanarkand" are exclusive to the Deluxe edition.[42][13][4][42]

The Nintendo Switch version of Theatrhythm Final Bar Line was the sixth bestselling retail game during its first week of release in Japan, with 11,565 physical copies being sold across the country. The PlayStation 4 version sold 3,610 physical copies across Japan throughout the same week, making it the sixteenth bestselling retail game of the week in the country.[46]
