New Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call Trailer Showcases New Modes and Songs
The original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy game was a cute rhythm title that put the music of the main series into the spotlight and tasked you with tapping along on the touchscreen in order to defeat foes and level up.

Bravely Default launches in just over two weeks, which means it’s time for another trailer to get you acclimated with the basic plot.

E3 2013 Impressions: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (Sony PlayStation 3/Microsoft Xbox 360)
When Final Fantasy XIII-2 released last year, it managed to address nearly every flaw the plagued the original.
