February 29 is a uncommon day, an ideal date to have fun with a session of the Remaining Fantasy-themed musical sport Theatrhythm Remaining Bar Line. Nevertheless, I’ve acquired unhappy information for anybody making an attempt to have fun right now with slightly Theathrythm because the rhythm sport simply gained’t load on today, particularly.

The scenario is a bummer, sure, however fear not as an answer already exists, and the trigger for the entire thing is reasonably hilarious.

It looks as if what’s stopping gamers from becoming a member of the servers is that we’re presently present in essentially the most cursed day of a glitched interval in time, the one our calendar lords name “intercalary year”. Look, I admit that don’t know the complicated math behind this cosmic occasion, however I imagine Destructoid’s personal Zoey Handley completely described it as “slightly Y2K that comes ’spherical each 4 years”.

This Y2K ordeal turns into twice as hilarious when you keep in mind that Theatrhythm is a largely offline sport. It doesn’t want the Web, hell, it doesn’t even have to know what time it’s. The truth is, the nice folks at Vooks report having tried it on their consoles, and the repair they discovered was to only change the console’s date to any different date of the yr. Thanks, Mr Kojima, you’ve taught us nicely.

Right here’s hoping Sq. Enix solves this downside quickly, or the Theatrhythm followers who’re too clever to mess with the authorities of time must abruptly discover new plans for February 29, 2028.

That is such an attention-grabbing failure — or possibly, simply possibly, Sq. Enix is bottlenecking Theatrhythm on objective to stop it from fully overshadowing the discharge of Remaining Fantasy VII: Rebirth, the true competitors right here all alongside. There’s simply no means of realizing.

Theatrhythm Remaining Bar Line is often accessible on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Change, simply not right now.

Remaining Fantasy VII: Rebirth comes out right now on the PlayStation 5 and can probably keep accessible till the good international collapse.
