Square Enix releases Final Fantasy Resonance

Square Enix has released Final Fantasy Resonance, a new JRPG that marks the franchise’s first use of the HD-2D art style. The game is a complete reconstruction of the first story arc from the defunct mobile title Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, transforming the original gacha-based experience into a premium single-player adventure.

Set in the kingdom of Grandshelt, the narrative follows protagonists Rain and Lasswell as they defend the Earth Crystal from a mysterious threat. The gameplay features strategic turn-based combat and a deep “Vision” system, which allows players to equip characters with the abilities and spirits of iconic heroes from previous Final Fantasy entries.

The title is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. Reviewers have praised the game for its stunning visuals and its return to the series’ classic turn-based roots, though some noted minor pacing issues in the story.
