Final Fantasy Resonance

Final Fantasy Resonance will be released in two separate editions. Here's everything we know about what's included in each one, including what bonuses you get for securing your copy early.

When asked why turn-based RPGs are having a resurgence, Final Fantasy Resonance director says, "A lot of us creators who had grown up playing turn-based games are now creating games ourselves."

The first HD-2D entry for Final Fantasy brings back turn-based combat and is coming in October this year.

Final Fantasy games have been rendered in 3D engines for far longer than they have in 2D, but the new trailer for Final Fantasy: Resonance wants you to imagine a world where Square Enix's risky 1997 gambit never happened. What would Final Fantasy look like if it stuck to its 2D pixel-art guns? We'd probably have gotten the HD-2D aesthetic a lot sooner, but regardless, this reimagining of the mobile gacha game Fantasy Brave Exvius continues to look stunning: https://youtu.be/ftCvnEE6rfI While the new trailer doesn't outright say it, it heavily suggests that viewers should use their imagination

I think my favourite thing about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy so far is the specific ways in which the developers at Square Enix inject nostalgia. The games launched to date - Remake and Rebirth - manage to nod warmly towards aspects of the original RPG without it ever feeling trite. You can see it in so many aspects of the way the games are curated: the way certain musical sequences are teased as motifs, and then brought in, full-throated, for certain boss fights; the redesigns of (in)famous monsters, and how certain major enemies are deployed in slightly remixed ways for maximum effect
