Fans of Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line on the Nintendo Switch are finding themselves unable to play the popular Switch rhythm game for an odd reason. The Final Fantasy rhythm game spinoff series has received multiple iterations since the original game debuted on the 3DS in 2012, allowing players to play along with their favorite Final Fantasy tunes. The series saw multiple releases on 3DS and recently welcomed its first console launch with last year's Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line on PS4 and Switch. Now, fans are finding themselves unable to log into the game for a curious reason.
Along with the game's daily missions, Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line features unique bonuses for players on a character's birthday. On the birthdays of Final Fantasy characters like Cloud or Tidus, players are rewarded with a Silver Growth Egg, which increases EXP within the game. Silver Growth Eggs are also rewarded to commemorate the anniversary of game releases within the Final Fantasy franchise. However, now, a strange bug with the game seems to have not taken leap years into account for its release.
As reported by IGN, fans of Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line have discovered unexpected difficulties with playing the game today, unable to connect to the game's servers. While many were confused, some fans pointed out that the game checks with Square-Enix's servers to see if any characters or games are celebrating a birthday. Fans have speculated that, due to not being able to find any data for February 29, the game «hangs» and gets stuck on a «Connecting» screen when launching Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line. Players have reported that the issue can be fixed by changing the date on their console's internal clock.
While fans find themselves unable to play Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line, the errors have seen plenty taking a jab at Square-Enix for the seemingly obvious error. Some fans initially believed the error may have been due to a corrupted save file, unaware that Square-Enix's servers could be so easily thwarted by a leap year. Other fans humorously connected the inability to access the game as a marketing move by Square-Enix to entice players to the newly-released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
The unexpected error with Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line comes as Square-Enix debuts one of its most highly-anticipated releases. February 29 marks the release date for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth after years in development, with Square-Enix already giving fans plenty of reasons to be excited about the game. Rebirth has featured multiple demos allowing players to try out the RPG early and even recently featured in a humorous Red Bull ad starring Cloud and Sephiroth. The unexpected break from FinalBar Line will likely see many players diving intoRebirth while they

will come with Xbox-exclusive microtransactions when it launches later this week. The FFXIV Coins can be purchased from the Microsoft Store and will be used for service fees and optional item purchases. Other platforms will still be able to use additional payment methods.
Now that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been out in the wilds for a few weeks, players are reaching the end of the hot new RPG. That means many have seen the ending and are picking it apart online, for better or worse.
Bringing the once-doomed MMO Final Fantasy XIV back to life and directing the latest mainline title of the long-running franchise isn’t enough for Square Enix superstar Naoki Yoshida. In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida chatted at length about his desire to direct yet another major game for Square Enix.
I've already spent 30 hours playing FFXVI, but honestly, I'm really struggling to continue. I don't feel any connection with the characters, storyline, or combat. Everything just feels dull and uninteresting. Right now, I'm on a mission to find some thief kids, and that's when it hit me how incredibly boring the game is for me. Whether it's the combat, the lack of depth, or the monotonous enemies, I'm really hoping for some improvement.
The yet-untitled third installment in the Final Fantasy Remake series will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles. After years of rumors, speculation, and hope from legions of fans, Square Enix finally released the first chapter of its modern reimagining of Final Fantasy 7 in 2020. Final Fantasy 7 Remake only told a fraction of the original’s plot, with the recently-released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continuing from when Cloud and the party leave Midgar until the fateful trip to the Forgotten Capital at the end of the old FF7’s second disk.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake project trilogy will be console-exclusive to PlayStation, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives Christian Svensson.
There’s a lot to love about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and its open world setting is surely high on that list. On top of being massive and incredibly varied across its many different regions, the entire map is also entirely seamless, which means you’re never hit with a loading screen when traveling from one area to the next (unless, of course, you’re fast traveling). Interestingly, however, according to producer Yoshinori Kitase, the game’s open world design wouldn’t have been quite so impressive if it hadn’t been developed as a platform-exclusive title.
World of Warcraft recently banned a Hunter player for having a Carrion Bird pet that still used the default name. Though the bizarre scenario is comical in some ways, World of Warcraft fans were left puzzled and frustrated by the inexplicable ban.
Players have been gushing about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since its launch last week, and there’s a good reason for that: the game is incredible by all meaningful accounts. Just as important, the title expanded upon the game’s lore, world, and more to ensure that gamers had the best experience within it. Remember, the original “remake” title was set entirely within Midgar, with the team at Avalanche only getting out of the city after a clash with Sephiroth. However, while the Square Enix team did make the world vast, they ensured that there was still plenty to explore within the next entry, which will finish the story.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth confirms early on that both Aerith and Red XIII could see the future in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, although it's a power that they have both seemingly lost.
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are two masterfully made retellings of the classic PlayStation RPG from 1997. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second entry in the Remake project and continues where the previous title left off, hopefully bringing answers to questions posed with it. Not only is this new sequel a nostalgic experience for veterans of the 90s original, but Square Enix has crafted it to be another perfect spot for newcomers to join Cloud and the gang.
