Final Fantasy Resonance Hands-On: HD-2D Brings Cinematic Pixel Art to the Series

Square Enix's Final Fantasy Resonance, a console remake of the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (FFBE), is the first Final Fantasy title to adopt HD-2D graphics, fusing pixel-art characters with 3D backgrounds. Based on the first season of FFBE's story, which ended service in October 2025 after about 10 years, the game launches on October 22, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Windows), with a Steam release on October 23. A media preview event offered roughly one hour of gameplay on a PS5 development build. The game introduces a visual style called "Cinematic Pixel," using dynamic camera work and close-ups to create dramatic event scenes and battles. The turn-based command battle system features a break gauge: hitting enemy weaknesses depletes the gauge, triggering a break state that grants extra actions and allows a finishing move called Resonance. Party composition is customizable through "Visions," which are essentially jobs representing characters from past Final Fantasy titles, including Cloud from Final Fantasy VII and Tina from Final Fantasy VI. The preview highlighted a mysterious girl who can summon Bahamut as a playable character, and the story centers on Rain, captain of an airship squadron from the kingdom of Grandshelt. The standard edition costs 7,678 yen, with a Digital Deluxe Edition at 9,878 yen and a Collector's Edition at 25,500 yen.
