Original story [Tue 14th Mar, 2023 04:00 GMT]:
Square Enix's musical game Theatrhythm Final Bar Line will be getting a very different update this week - adding tracks from the DS title The World Ends With You and the more recent release, NEO: The World Ends With You.
This update will arrive on 15th March 2023 and will include the following tracks: Twister, Calling, Someday, Your Ocean, Breaking Free and World Is Yours. Here's a listen:
It's nice to see Square Enix giving The World Ends with You some love, especially after the most recent release NEO: The World Ends with You 'underperformed expectations'.
As for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line - it's got off to a great start, where we awarded it an excellent nine out of ten stars and called it a "perfectly tuned celebration" of all things Final Fantasy. If you're curious to see what it's like, there's a demo available to download on the Switch eShop.
Will you be booting up Theatrhythm on Switch to try out this next update? Tell us below.

Don't really love their selection of tracks from NEO:TWEWY unfortunately but looking forward to the TWEWY ones at least, especially Someday.
The DLC pack that I'm most keen for though is the NieR:Automata one later this month.
Still no Bravely tracks confirmed, huh? What a shame.
This tracklist is what’s really making me consider getting Final Bar Line by some point.
I'm really glad TWEWY's getting DLC tracks! It's nice to see someone give the game some love after Square's consistently thrown it under the bus throughout its history. While I'm glad the tracks that were in Curtain Call are back, I'm even more excited for all the new Neo tracks. They chose some fantastic songs to bring in. Of course, if we get even more DLC beyond the three passes they've already announced, I'd love to see the series get at least one more pack. There are too many great songs to just give it one pack and call that good.
I've only played the FFVII series of games but I'm still loving Final Bar Line. Such a great song list, and it's yet another rhythm game for my Switch.
Feels like a much better Melody of Memory. I wish MoM had an option for circles instead of that weird combat thing, because Bar Line does the RPG elements excellently while keeping the traditional rhythm game layout.
Would it be unrealistic to hope for FFVII Rebirth DLC??
Breaking Free's a huge guilty pleasure of mine from NEO and World Is Yours rules, I can never decide which boss theme's my favorite ( mostly just ends up which ever one I listened to last ) but man is it a strong contender
@BenAV Can't wait for the NieR Replicant songs.
Also, the article doesn't really note that this is a paid DLC update, but eh.
Skip for these ones. I've never played these games but I was not impressed by the music back in Curtain Call, decisively not my style.
Waiting for those Chrono Trigger sounds.
Can someone tell me how to stop reading this word as:
“The AT rhythm”?
I know it’s not pronounced like that. Really, I do. But my brain insists on reading it that way.
Please help.
I wish they add FF16 songs when the time comes on the impending release this June. Would be great to feel like it’s a celebration to all Final Fantasies up to date.
Have they announced all the dlc music yet? I was hoping we’d get some more secret of mana in it or is the 3 tracks they said already all there will be? I saw the third season pack has two unknown sections.
Can't wait to play these tracks, as I've never gotten into TWEWY, Theatrhythm was my gateway Final Fantasy game, and I ended up getting into the series because I loved the music. Maybe the same could happen for TWEWY.
@Maxz You have to look at the word as Theatre before rolling through to the -rhythm half of the word. Keep saying and picturing to yourself theatre, theatre, theatr, theatrhythm.
@Ulysses Thanks. This is a great help. I feel I’m getting there… slowly.
theatre, theatre, theatr, theatrhythm…
theATrhythm
Aaaaaah!
Still no extra characters though eh? Shame.
@IceClimbersMain
I was just popping in to comment that the last 2 DLC drops are just a ? at the moment. I think they might be FF7 Rebirth and FF16 tracks.
I was really hoping they were going to add TWEWY tracks to this game considering that one of that game's best features are the in game tracks that help drive the story and combat. I am not usually a huge rhythm game type of guy, but I did really enjoy Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memories... This is a different take on rhythm games though, so I don't know if I would be interested. I played the demo of the older 3DS Theatrhythm game and enjoyed it but didn't really think it was for me for a full purchase. More content for these types of games is always welcome to keep people engaged.
@Dpullam Melody of Memories was pretty much Kingdom Hearts Theatrhythm, they just shifted to 3D visuals. It plays very similarly otherwise. The RPG aspect in Theatrhythm is much more in-depth since you can fully customize your party rather than choose from presets, and each character learns new abilities that can be equipped to suit whatever needs you might have. If you enjoyed Melody of Memories, I'd highly recommend checking out Theatrhythm Final Bar Line! The demo has 25 tracks to play if I remember correctly, so it has plenty of content to help you decide if you want to pick it up.
@ReaperMelia I might give it a try per your recommendation since it has that many demo tracks! I have nothing to lose in that case!
@Dpullam Yes, check the demo out!
And the base game has nearly 400 songs. You need to pay extra for the DLC though, in order to get tracks from other gaming series like TWEWY, Romancing SaGa and Live A Live.
My favorite game so far this year along with the Metroid Prime remaster. 10/10.
@Quarth You have convinced me! I will download the demo on my Nintendo Switch today and give it a try! 🙂
