This tale of Crystals features a strategic turn-based battle system with a modern twist, the return of chocobos, espers and airships, in addition to appearances from beloved Final Fantasy characters such as Cloud, Tidus and the Warrior of Light – all presented in stunning, retro-inspired HD-2D graphics that push the limits of pixel art.
Final Fantasy Resonance is based on the first story arc of the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Far from just a direct port, it has been refined and extensively rebuilt as a full-fledged console-quality RPG experience.
Building on the concept of pushing the limits of pixel art, Final Fantasy Resonance presents a tale of crystals brought to life in high-definition pixel art in the HD-2D style, alongside a gameplay system that captures the classic charm of Final Fantasy, complemented by a beautiful soundtrack.
Final Fantasy Resonance combines classic FF tropes like chocobos and airships with the newest evolutions in turn-based battles and job systems, creating one gorgeously pixelated HD-2D package—a series first.
Check out the above trailer for a new look at Final Fantasy Resonance.
In the action-packed trailer, it was revealed that the iconic Sephiroth will be making an appearance in the upcoming game, with players able to find and challenge him in hopes of winning and unlocking a special reward.
Additionally, Square Enix launched a free Final Fantasy Resonance demo on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and XBOX on PC.
