Square Enix has announced a hard launch date of July 3, 2012, for their intriguing Nintendo 3DS title, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.  While no one can argue that Final Fantasy music has one of the most impressive collections over the run of the series, we haven't seen a title quite like this one that mixes the music right into the game.  Fans of the series will be happy to know that songs from previous titles will be included in the game and will also be playable at the Penny Arcade Expo as well.  3DS fans, while it might not be a true Final Fantasy title, perhaps this is a test run to see how well the series does on the handheld before churning out a true Final Fantasy title.
