Square Enix has released new details for indieszero’s Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line, highlighting the Music Stages and various gameplay styles that players can look forward to.
The Music Stages allow for freely playing any unlocked track. Tracks can be sorted by name, series and other filters. Styles will be familiar to fans of the series (or even Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory). There’s Standard Style which is the default control set-up.
Pair Style allows two players to play together on the same screen. During a Field Music Stage, one player traverses the upper lanes while another takes the lower lanes. In an Event Music Stage, one player takes the left lane while the other is on the right.
Simple Style, as the name denotes, simplifies inputs to a single button. There’s no word yet on whether there’s a Performer Style for maximum challenge. ProfiCards are available for checking gameplay records and can be customized with different icons and designs. ProfiCards can be swapped with other players after Multi Battles and even contain a summonstone.
