This isn’t the first time that songs from outside the Final Fantasy series have appeared in Theatrhythm Final Bar Line. Other Square Enix games besides Xenogears that have received DLC packs include Chrono Trigger, The World Ends With You, Nier Automata and the SaGa series. There will be more Final Fantasy music too though, as a Final Fantasy XVI pack is on its way in November 2023.
Xenogears released on the PlayStation in 1998 and is considered one of the greatest RPGs released for the system. It was originally conceived as a pitch for Final Fantasy VII before becoming its own game. Following its release, director Tetsuya Takahashi formed his own company, Monolith Soft, which went on to create the Xenosaga and Xenoblade Chronicles franchises.
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is out now for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The Xenogears pack will be released on September 20, 2023.
