Summary
Oct. 22 is the launch date for Final Fantasy Resonance, an expanded single-player adaptation of 2016 mobile title Final Fantasy Brave Exvius coming to Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.
Square Enix said the game is the series' first HD-2D entry, pairing pixel-art characters with 3D environments while reworking the original story into a fuller turn-based RPG.
New details centered on the crystal-powered nations Zoldaad and Mysidia and two key characters: rebel leader Jake and the mysterious mage Sakura.
Combat adds Limit Bursts, espers such as Bahamut and Odin, and Vision crystals that summon legacy heroes including Lightning, Noctis and Clive for stronger attacks.
Optional superbosses and secret dungeons round out the package, underscoring Square Enix's push to make Resonance more than a straight port.
