The teaser site for Square Enix’s bizarre 3DS rhythm-game spinoff Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy reveals the developer of the project as Indies Zero, not Jupiter as was rumored.

While a new Final Fantasy-related game by the team behind The World Ends With You would serve to drive many fans’ current bemusement with the game into burning desire, the attachment of Indies Zero to the project does a lot more to attract me (and, I’m sure, Eric) as Indies Zero is responsible for the two Retro Game Challenge games (and, uh, Personal Trainer: Cooking and the recent DualPenSports).

The site also features a nice remix of the classic Final Fantasy theme, and the unbelievably adorable logo seen above. Now Square Enix just has to do something about the name, and I’ll be able to declare my interest in the rhythm-based RPG without shame!

Square Enix has a new Final Fantasy game on the way for 3DS, but it’s not quite the RPG we’re used to. The new game is titled Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Yes, this is the Final Fantasy themed rhythm game we’ve all been waiting for.

Revealed in this week’s Jump, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a “Theater Rhythm Action” game. The game has field scenes set in dungeons and towns, and battle scenes that resemble the side-view battles of older Final Fantasy games. However, everything is played like a rhythm game, where you tap the screen in accordance with prompts.

Needless to say, the game’s music is pulled from past Final Fantasy games. Characters, including the likes of Lightning and Cloud, are also in the game, only they’re shown in cute “chibi” style form, resembling the avatars from the mobile Kingdom Hearts game.

There seems to be somewhat of a story to the game. Jump says that the classic Final Fantasy characters are fighting to return light to the crystal.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is currently without a final release date.
