In case you couldn't tell, I'm completely obsessed with the 3DS at the moment. As for what prompted this particular bout of game-inspired craziness: I'm pretty sure Nintendo's decision to release a "misty pink" system is the main culprit, but repeated viewings of the Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011 trailers for Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 7, Mario Tennis and Super Mario 3D Land deserve some of the credit (or maybe I should say blame), too.
Also to blame: The following trailer for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, a game that piqued my interest when it was announced a few months ago but has been all but ignored ever since.
I won't be ignoring the title any longer, though, thanks to the frenzied gameplay and fabulous tunes highlighted in the video above. The only complaint I can aim at the title thus far: The Final Fantasty VIII scene sticks out like a sore thumb when compared to the highly stylized scenes that come before it.

Hm...yeah...that scene is an odd shift in style...I wonder why? Oh, and that Ultros? Ugly.
I just watched another trailer for the game, Justin, and it appears that two of the game's modes are in the, er chibi style that makes up most of this trailer, while the third mode is made up of what appear to be cut scenes from past FF games. Seems a bit strange to me, but oh well.
I kind of like that Ultros, by the way. Or, at least it fits in with the game's style...
You are right. I totally agree with you, Bryan!
Thanks, Alexander! I'm guessing you're interested in this game, too?
He does fit in...but...those eyes...I dunno...they're just creepy.
Ha ha! Yes, they're definitely creepy, I'll give you that :)
