Yesterday, Nintendo capped off the showcase season with a fantastic Direct for their fanbase. Not only did they show off some surprise announcements like the Ocarina of Time remake, but they had Square Enix there, front and center, with a barrage of hits for JRPG fans. Outside of the obvious show stealers like Kingdom Hearts, they also showed off gameplay for the next Dragon Quest Monsters game, and the very first HD-2D entry in the historic Final Fantasy series. Coming October 22nd, Final Fantasy Resonance will be coming to PC and consoles, and here is what you can expect from it!
Details on Final Fantasy Resonance
The first thing you need to know about this game is that it’s an adaptation of a mobile game. The mobile game it is adapting is Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. This approach is very similar to the recently launched Octopath Traveler 0, which adapted Champions of the Continent’s storyline. But the major takeaway from the game’s reveal is that it is the very first Final Fantasy game to adopt the HD-2D style that started with Octopath Traveler in 2018.
In this game, aside from the breathtaking art style and interesting story being told (and yes, even summons!). They also showed that you will be able to use “Echoes” of past heroes in the game’s series. Such as Lightning, Squall, Cloud, Vincent, and even Noctis, amongst many others. It will be turn-based and only cost $49.99 USD with an optional “Deluxe Edition” at $59.99 USD that includes some early game goodies to start you off on your journey.
Final Fantasy Resonance will be launching on Nintendo Switch 1|2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can check out the full trailer here!
