Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, the debut title from producer Ichiro Hazama, was originally designed for release on DS but due to hardware limitations, the game’s production was held back. Speaking in the the latest edition of Iwata Asks, Hazama said the idea for the title came after he finished work on the Final Fantasy movie Advent Children, and with the release of 3DS, a handheld with the storage capacity and power was finally available to bring his ideas to fruition. Thus he went to Indies Zero to finalize his plans for the game, and after getting the all-clear from Tetsuya Nomura, work on the game started that very day. In order to get fans involved, Hazama said Square sent out fan surveys sent, and the 70 songs contained in the game are a direct result of said surveys. The more you know, etcetera. The rhythm-action game, which contains four-player co-op, will land on 3DS February 16. A western release has yet to be confirmed.

Some leaked boxart for Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy shows that the game will contain paid download content, as well as support something called “Nintendo Network”. The dummy art, which first popped up on NeoGAF, shows that the game, as promised, will have DLC released for it but it looks like it will cost you according to the fine print. The game launches on 3DS in Japan on February 16, which would make it the first game to have paid DLC on the system. Likely, Nintendo will announce something pertaining to “Nintendo Network” sometime between now and then, still, we’ll send a mail. Thanks, Andriasang.

This was supposed to be a quiet week. I’m going to spend the weekend sobbing quietly in a wardrobe wishing games didn’t exist. These nibbles are all I can manage before I go.
