It&rsquo;s like Square&rsquo;s concept department visited a kindergarten to poll kids for a good name, and the one with a monster lisp and some otherwise undiscovered neurological impairment shouted the loudest. Maybe that&rsquo;s exactly how it happened.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andriasang.com\/e\/blog\/2011\/07\/06\/final_fantasy_rhythm\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adriasang<\/a>, it&rsquo;s a &ldquo;theatre rhythm action&rdquo; game, which does prompt the question, &ldquo;Why isn&rsquo;t it called Theatrhyction?&rdquo; I mean, when you&rsquo;re that invested in the stupid name idea, might as well go all the way.<\/p>\n<p>The game features music pulled from previous Final Fantasy titles, and battles are resolved by tapping the 3DS screen to cues.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Except for the two or three that aren&rsquo;t, obviously.
