Its alittle sad, Dissdia is a fighting game with RPG elements that has an interesting battle mechanic thats fairly unique. Its a cashgrab banking on nostalgia as well but its worth buying and playing despite cutscenes about the maker and random notes about professors that have no relevance to the story.
So here we Have Final Fantasy Type 0 a game thats been in development for a few years and was released in Japan months ago, its been featured on sites in the west and represents a different kind of Square-Enix for a lot of people.
Now here we have theatrythem or however you spell it. I really like Elite Beat Agents, so much so that I'm the only person I know to have beaten Chieftain's mode. (as well as Ouenden) but Theatrythem isn't really a game so much as it is just tapping the screen, even EBA has more depth in holding, timed strikes and slices among other things. The art is ugly as sin, I usually don't comment on things of an aesthetic nature but wow, really? Can't use sprites? Do they really need to use a bobble head version of each character thats made up of simple shapes instead of y'know production level art? The whole reason a person would buy the game came packed in with FF13-2's special edition, and while its a cheap way to get a bunch of games' soundtracks you can only listen to them while playing the game and you need to unlock em.
that brings me to the final thing about Theatrythem DLC, theres lots of it, LOTS and its expensive, like a few bucks a song. Maybe they'll adjust the price for the US but its still a ton of DLC.
This epitomizes the idea that people will buy something just because of the name and not because of an outstanding quality.

Quite possibly, but then
Dissidia turned out pretty awesome as a result and this is getting solid reviews all round. I'm not minding the obvious plays for fan service at the moment if the games are turning out well.
I agree about Dissidia, but I also think we established reviews are nothing to go by.
