Although I can understand the reaction, I didn't groan alongside them--especially after I saw the following scan, pulled from the current issue of Japan's Jump magazine.
As for how the game, called Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, will play, here's what Anoop at andriasang.com has to say: "The game has field scenes set in dungeons and towns, and battle scenes that resemble the side-view battles of older Final Fantasy games. However, everything is played like a rhythm game, where you tap the screen in accordance with prompts."
Sounds good to me! The question is: Will the brass at Square Enix have the balls to release the game in the US?

Nice combination of genres! It'll either be awesome or horrifying I expect :P
I suspect you're not far from the truth, Simon. Here's hoping it's the former and not the latter!
I'm still waiting for my Elite Beat Agents Sequel.
Yes! How sad is it that Nintendo never brought the sequel to the States? Hopefully if they make another one for 3DS it'll be released everywhere...
Well, Technically that wasn't EBA that got a sequel, but it's Spiritual Predecessor, "Osu! Tatake! Ouendan!" which of course was never released in America.
Yes, you're right. I would guess the folks at Nintendo would have turned to the sequel to Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! while developing an EBA sequel, though, wouldn't you?
So...is that a rhythm RPG? Or is it a rhythm game couched in a familiar skin?
I don't think they've revealed that yet, Justin. I'm really hoping it's some sort of rhythm-based RPG, although I'd gladly take a plain ol' rhythm game with a familiar skin, too :)
I'd love a rhythm based RPG. That would be super awesome!
Me, too! I think it's a distinct possibility that the game *is* a rhythm RPG -- since it's supposedly being made by the team that made The World Ends With You (DS).
