New Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Video Confuses Us All

Really, what are we looking at?

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

 
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Therefore, due to the ever popular transitive property, this new gameplay video for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy must be something like a novel. If this is the case, then this surrealist piece of literature must have been written backwards in a mirror by a madman, seeing as how inscrutable it is.

Were we forced to come up with some sort of description, then the team here at Mash Those Buttons would say that Theatrhythm contains elements of Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents and (violently) combines them together with some beloved Final Fantasy music. While this description is fairly on the nose, it doesn’t help the inexhaustible sense of confusion we feel each time we re-watch the above video.

We have to get a gauge on this one: what do you, our cherished MTB readers, think? Because we can’t make heads or tails out of what’s going here.
