Players can choose from a variety of songs and difficulty levels, and progress through different stages as they improve their skills.
The game includes three main modes: "Field Music Stages," where players traverse through an environment to the rhythm of the music; "Battle Music Stages," where players engage in battles against enemies using rhythm-based controls; and "Event Music Stages," which recreate iconic scenes from Final Fantasy games and have their own unique gameplay mechanics.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy also includes a collectible card system, which allows players to unlock new characters, songs, and items as they progress through the game.

The game features over 70 tracks from the Final Fantasy series, ranging from classic themes from the early games to newer pieces from Final Fantasy XIII and beyond. The music is arranged in a variety of styles, from orchestral to rock, and each song has its own unique visual presentation to accompany it.
Players can choose from a variety of characters from the Final Fantasy series, including heroes like Cloud and Lightning, as well as villains like Sephiroth and Kefka. Each character has their own set of abilities and stats, and players can level them up by earning experience points in battle.
