Square Enix has released Final Fantasy Resonance, the first entry in the franchise to utilize the HD-2D art style. This title serves as an adaptation of the initial story arc from the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, which ceased operations in 2024.
The gameplay emphasizes traditional turn-based combat and world exploration, featuring classic elements like random encounters, world maps, and standard town facilities. Players control Rain, a hero tasked with protecting magical crystals, in a narrative that the reviewer notes follows familiar JRPG tropes, including amnesia.
The reviewer, Jay Peters, appreciates the soothing, old-school structure but notes the game can feel rudimentary compared to modern action-heavy titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, Peters praises the integration of modern quality-of-life features, such as fast travel, battle speed adjustments, and health and stagger bars that encourage strategic play.
A key mechanic involves recruiting "Visions" of characters from previous series entries, such as Cloud Strife or Terra Branford. Equipping these Visions allows players to unlock and customize new abilities, providing depth beyond mere nostalgia. The game launches on October 22nd for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X / S.
