However, it felt like a series that was going to remain exclusive to the 3DS for the foreseeable future so when they finally announced that a new Theatrhythm was coming out on both the PS4 and NSW, I was thrilled at the prospect. On top of that, I have a fondness for rhythm games dating back to the PSP generation with the DJ Max series so when one was created specifically with Square Enix games in mind on the 3DS in the form of “Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call”, it was just up my alley and I sunk over 80 hours into it. While I might not remember all names of the characters in Final Fantasy 6 off the top of my head, I can still remember each and every note of tracks like “Searching for Friends” and “Cele’s Theme”. The mileage may vary of course based on the genre and creative direction of a game, but for RPG series like Final Fantasy, it is absolutely essential. Play it just for a few minutes and it will be made all too clear even in that short amount of time. In fact, just to demonstrate exactly how important it is, go ahead and boot up one of your favorite games and turn off the music entirely. In extreme cases, composers are known to write slurs which are near-impossible to achieve in that case the composer wishes to emphasise that the notes should be performed with as much legato as possible.It’s hard to overstate the importance of music in gaming.
