Leap Day Leaves Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Fans Fuming over Frozen Screens
-
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on Nintendo Switch is not working today, February 29, 2024, apparently because it's a leap year. The game just shows a black screen.
-
There's a workaround - you can change the system clock to another date and the game works fine.
-
The issue seems to be that the game checks the date to see if it's the user's birthday to give a reward. But it wasn't coded properly to handle February 29.
-
Square Enix has not commented on the issue.

Many people online are mocking Square Enix over the leap year bug happening on the same day as the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch.
