Maybe I’m a Lion (Final Fantasy VIII): Ever wonder why Squall was all about lion imagery? His last name was even Leonhart. This version of her theme from Crisis Core is beautiful to say the least.Ĥ. A naive flower girl turned martyr – she died for Jenova’s sins. A Flower Blooming In The Slums (Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core): Of all the characters in Final Fantasy lore, Aeris’ spirit shone the brightest. Celes is one of the more tragic figures in the FF canon, and Uematsu captured her essence perfectly in a song. Celes’ Theme (Final Fantasy VI): Definitely a favourite of mine, I whistle this sometimes when I feel melancholy. The music is fantastically spooky and quirky, it really set the mood for this paradoxical space.Ħ. The Castle (Final Fantasy VIII): Towards the end of a Final Fantasy game you often end up in some weird esoteric spaces, and this castle in ‘time compression’ was no different. Otherworld (Final Fantasy X): The first time I heard this I was like… “uwhuh? Final Fantasy death metal?” Then a few seconds later and I was like, “word.”ħ. The first time you heard it was in FF5 when you were after that rapscallion Gilgamesh on a ‘big bridge.’Ĩ. Battle on the Big Bridge (Final Fantasy V): A true Final Fantasy classic, this track has been redone for several other games in the series. I was only able to sample the Versus Mode against AI opponents, but it was enough to prove that you'll never be without a new challenge in Curtain Call.As a tribute to a storied RPG franchise, Curtain Call isn't without role-playing elements of its own, but they're little more than window-dressing in practice.9. Some of these can be pretty devastating: the Judgement Burst changes any trigger that isn't a perfect critical hit to a bad one, and Mystery Triggers wait until the last moment to reveal their identities. The hook here is the EX Meter, which fills as you make accurate hits, and assaults the opposing player with one of nine special attacks, called EX Bursts, when maxed-out. Add in the ability to use items like tents between stages to refill HP, and this mode not only brings the Theatrhythm gameplay closer to the traditional Final Fantasy experience, it's also much more engaging than just picking a song and playing it.Feeling cocky about your Theatrhythm skills? Curtain Call introduces a Versus mode for the ultimate test, pitting you against another player on the same Battle Music stage. A Short Quest may only contain about ten stages, whereas a Long Quest could run over forty, with a new randomized Chaos Map unlocked after every successful run.
