Theatrhythm Final Bar Line gets a free demo ahead of launch

A teaser before the album drop

The latest Final Fantasy song-battler arrives later this month. But for those who want to try out Theatrhythm Final Bar Line before it arrives, or maybe just can’t wait, there’s a demo out tomorrow.

The Theatrhythm Final Bar Line demo goes live on February 1, 2023 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. And good news: it is a demo that carries over progress into the full game, so you won’t lose out on any solid scores you tally up now.

There are 30 tracks in store for the demo, and it’s a pretty good line-up of music. For those unfamiliar, Theatrhythm combines the music of Final Fantasy and other Square RPGs from throughout history with musical battles. You gather a party and venture out in one of three modes: Battle Music Stage, Field Music Stage, or Event Music Stage. While a Battle stage might have you defeating wave of enemies, the Field will see the party traverse a themed, relaxing landscape, while the Event battles will put you in the middle of classic scenes.

Here’s the full list of songs included in the Theatrhythm demo.
