Square says:

"Featuring 221 songs and over 60 characters from the entire Final Fantasy series, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call is taking center stage in North America this year! New gameplay modes let players tap it out against each other in Versus Mode or take a party of your favorite characters into musical battles in the all new Quest Medleys."

Songs and characters in the game includes the likes of Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, Final Fantasy Tactics, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 and Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn. Characters include Barret from Final Fantasy 7, Benjamin from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics and Zack from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7.

Producer Ichiro Hazama said: "Music is an integral part of the Final Fantasy experience that serves as a complement to the gameplay.

"As with the previous title, we envisioned a game where the music takes centre stage and the RPG gameplay enhances that experience. Our fans are definitely in for a treat as they'll be able to re-experience their favourite songs across the entire Final Fantasy catalogue."
