Gameplay
Basics
Two slides and a hold-slide.Like previous games in the series, Final Bar Line is primarily a rhythm game, which means the gameplay mostly consists of precisely interacting with triggers that scroll across the screen in unison with the music. The color of the triggers indicates what type of interaction is required from the player.
| Trigger | Color | Response |
|---|
| Touch | Red | Tap any button. |
| Slide | Yellow + Arrow | Point an analog stick in the direction of the arrow. |
| Hold | Green | Hold any button and release it when the green line ends. |
| Hold-Slide | Green + Arrow | Hold any button for the duration and point an analog stick in the direction of the arrow at the end. |
Series Quest
Each song has specific goals.The new campaign mode gives players the opportunity to choose one of twenty-nine games from the franchise to unlock new songs, characters, and items from that game. Each song includes a specific quest, which are like tasks or goals that must be completed during the song, and rewards for doing so.
This mode is the primary method for unlocking more hero characters and songs. Villain characters can be unlocked by completing all the songs from that specific game in the franchise.
In addition to the Standard style of play in Series Quest, players can also bring a friend for Pair Style, which is a cooperative mode where the triggers are divided between two players in separate lanes. A third option, called Simple Style, is a one-button mode designed for beginners who want to progress through the quests.
Party System
Choose a party of 4.Players can choose a team of four characters from across the franchise. Each character has three abilities that will affect the combat sequences throughout the song. The party as a whole can also have one summon equipped using a Summonstone, which can be found and collected either in the Series Quest mode or by sharing with other players through ProfiCards. The player can also select an airship and a moogle to accompany them. The airship and moogle are purely cosmetic and do not affect the combat or song.
Stage Types
An Event Stage from Final Fantasy VII Remake.Each song in the game is classified as one of three types of stages.
- Battle Music Stages (BMS) feature waves of enemies culminating with a boss of some kind.
- Field Music Stages (FMS) see the party battling enemies as they travel across the world that the song is from.
- Event Music Stages (EMS) feature a cinematic presentation such as cutscenes from the specific game from which the song originates.
Multiplayer
Fat chocobos are very distracting.Up to four players can play simultaneously in a competitive mode through any song in the game. During the song, players can earn and deploy attacks on the other players such as Fat Chocobo or Moogle to block their view of the notes. Winners of these battles earn CollectaCards, which feature all sorts of characters and items from through the franchise.
ProfiCards
Choosing Summonstones to share on a ProfiCard.A player's ProfiCard is used to share information and items with other players.
