Random: Square Enix Fixes Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Leap Year Bug

Last month, players encountered a game-breaking bug in the Final Fantasy spin-off Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, where the game could not be played on leap day February 29th.

Now, Square Enix has pushed out a patch that corrects this error, meaning that the game will no longer experience the same malfunction on a February 29th. The full patchnotes also apologize for the “major inconvenience”, and that the developers would “greatly appreciate” players’ continued support of the game.

Thank you very much for playing THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE.
We’d like to inform you that we released a revision patch for THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE on Friday, 5 April 2024 at 06:00 UTC.

■Applicable Parties
All players who own THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE

■Details of the Revision
We have fixed the issue that causes malfunction when starting up the game or moving to the main menu on leap day, 29 February.

We sincerely apologize for the major inconvenience this has caused.

Your continued support for THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE would be greatly appreciated.

Although the next leap year is four years away, by which time everyone would probably have moved on, it’s good that Square Enix patched out this bug for players who might still be playing the game then.
