Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Rainbow Shards dropping like crazy for me during a lot of Dark Notes. Does that unlock Cosmos? Currently at 6/8.

Yes. And its an Achievement :D!

Been playing Dark Notes for a while, Up to 45,000 Rythmia total too, its a fun game... Up to the Dark Notes where the "Arrow" notes are spinning lol... and i haven't gotten a single Dark Note with FFXI Battle music. I was waiting for Awakening the entire time >.

I've unlocked a lot of songs too, Surprised to see the FF8 Battle music, that was one of my favorite (Next to the default one).

This game is really quite fun, I've unlocked a lot of characters, but still missing a load.. I've unlocked

Spoiler: show

Cosmos
Ashe
Scarlet Guy
Yuna
Cid (FF3)
ViVi

I think 1-2 more but i forget them... My team generally uses Squall, Shantoto, Lightning, Zidane... I originally had Cecil on my party, Swapped him out for the Token Thief (Zidane).

Leveling Cloud, Yuna, Cosmos, and Locke right now. With my main team, I Have Lionheart, Ancient Magic, and Grand Lethal set (They are used when Bosses appear) ... Most/all bosses that appear die instantly because of that lol, Killed one boss 3 times, Its also nice to note, You can get more than 1 crystal per fight if you kill a boss more than once.

He can drop each time :O! Its previous obvious if you think about it, But its good to know.

Just finished unlocking all of the characters, around 70,000 rhythmia. If you want to farm shards you don't have, Libra is your friend. I was down to only needing black shards, and that shit saved me sooo much time.

Also, Karb, the "Scarlet guy" is a chick. I honestly thought it was Edgar at first, and then I went "wtf, she didn't have blonde hair in the game".

For anyone that's curious about farming shards too, certain ones only show up in certain level ranges. Not blanking out character names, so I'll put it in a spoiler tag just in case anyone cares.

Spoiler: show

Type: Levels
A: 1-25
B: 1-75
C: 26-99
D: 51-99

Character - Crystal color - Crystal type

Princess Sarah - Gold - C
Minwu - Silver - B
Cid - Yellow - A
Rydia - Green - B
Kain - Navy - D
Farris - Crimson - B
Locke - Indigo - A
Aerith - Red - B
Sephiroth - Black - D
Seifer - Grey - C
Vivi - Orange - A
Yuna - Turquoise - B
Prishe - Purple - C
Ashe - Scarlet - A
Snow - White - C
Cosmos - Rainbow - C


And yes, that does mean that if you over-level your characters too much, you can be locked out of getting Locke/Cid/Ashe/Vivi.

Easiest way to farm dark notes is deleting your newest, incomplete dark note, then running an old one with a party stacked with Libra, that averages out to the level range you want the dark note to be. With a full Libra group, you'll see 7/9 items when the dark note unlocks, and all three bosses (if you're looking for Ozma/Chaos/Shinryu/Omega for the trophy). Whenever you finish a dark note, the game checks if you have any incomplete notes, and if not it generates a new one based on the average level of the party that completed the previous one.

Helps to save a toooon of time farming shards.

I was like "Bullshit" on Scarlet dude being a chick. Went to look at her card.

Faris
Final Fantasy V.
"The Pendant that rests on Lenna's breast will mark the start of Faris's Journey. She..."

Fuck

[Ratatapa]

You didnt play FFV did you?

Faris is the Pirate leader and Leena's friend, during a storm she fell in the water and got fished by the pirates, who raised her like a He.

Even at the start of the game, Faris keep saying he he, until Galuf and Bartz seems her naked

And later in the story she learn she is the Princess of Tycoon with Leena

Nope.

Played FF 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 11.

all the others i never played myself, But i did watch my brother play/beat 7, 9, 10, and 12.

5/6 we had on Anthology (Final Fantasy Anthology), But i never actually got to watch him play it.

[Alkar]

I didn't recognize Faris either considering she has purple hair in FFV and she's now blonde (I know, I know... Amano art etc.).
Either way this game makes me so nostalgic... where's my FFX HD SE? Show something already ;;

[Psion]

Lol, i managed to unlock battle of the big bridge ultimate score... yeah, that one's fucking crazy. like 4-8 notes per second flashing at you, each note taking like .4 seconds to reach your hitbox. Couldn't make it past 20 seconds, lol.

[TacoTaru]

I think the highest I've managed to get on Battle on the Big Bridge is a C. I'm like 0/9 on attempts . I can't get enough of this game. I thought it would be a fun game for a few days, I'd play it for 10 hours, get my money's worth and be done, but I can't stop playing it.

[Karbuncle]

Now i wanted to see how hard it was..

Took me about 4-5 Tried, But managed to get Double S Rank, fuck getting perfect on that though. Shit was tough. Practicing it once or twice helped me to figure out what to expect.

Man with the Machine Gun,
Let the Battles Begin
One Winged Angel

Are all really fecking hard too.

Edit: Worst part about any song is knowing I slide the fucking stylis in the right direction for the arrow, and it telling "NOPE" and i fail because of it. Makes me wanna stick the damn thing through my screen sometimes.
