Final Fantasy Resonance, co-developed by Square Enix and Lancarse, serves as a console adaptation of the now-shuttered mobile title Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. By removing predatory gacha mechanics and energy systems, the game aims to provide a streamlined experience, though the reviewer notes it struggles to stand independently from the series' history.
Mechanically, the game utilizes a turn-based system focused on elemental weaknesses and stagger mechanics. While the reviewer finds combat engaging, they note a lack of urgency compared to other titles like Octopath Traveler. The removal of mobile-specific touch controls for chaining attacks is described as a significant loss, leaving the experience feeling less innovative than its predecessor.
The reviewer criticizes the game's heavy reliance on nostalgia, noting that the narrative and "Visions" system constantly force comparisons to past entries. While the HD-2D engine is praised, the reviewer argues that the game lacks meaningful challenge on normal difficulty and fails to offer the depth found in other modern successors, despite some emotional highs.
Square Enix is commended for preserving a defunct mobile title, though the reviewer highlights that only the first season of Brave Exvius is adapted. Final Fantasy Resonance launches Oct. 22 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
