The opening movie and other cinematics feature a cutting-edge pixel-based style using a production method that renders 3DCG in pixel form to achieve dynamic, realistic visuals while retaining the timeless charm of pixel art.

Meanwhile, the special abilities of legacy Final Fantasy heroes, along with select summon sequences, are presented in striking 3D graphics.

While this game is rooted in the HD-2D visual style, it offers a distinctive experience that seamlessly integrates multiple visual approaches.

Story

The Kingdom of Knights, Grandshelt. Its people lived peaceful lives, blessed by the power of crystals.

Rain, commander of the airship squadron, receives a royal decree—investigate the Earth Shrine, where the magical barrier protecting it has waned, and determine the cause together with Lasswell, his childhood friend and deputy commander.

Upon reaching the innermost chamber of the shrine, the two encounter a mysterious man clad in black armor. Overwhelmed by his immense power, Rain and Lasswell are defeated, and the Earth Crystal is shattered before their eyes.

Though Rain and Lasswell narrowly survive, their airship is wrecked, and their comrades have fallen…

When Rain and Lasswell return, they find Grandshelt under attack by the armored man—Veritas of the Dark. They manage to rescue the king, but once again suffer a crushing defeat.

To protect the remaining Crystals scattered across the world, Rain and Lasswell set out on a journey in pursuit of Veritas of the Dark, joined by Fina, the mysterious girl they met in Grandshelt.

At this moment, none of them could have imagined the turbulent fate that awaited them.

■ Characters

◆ Main Characters

Rain (voiced by Clifford Chapin in English, Nobuhiko Okamoto in Japanese)

The main protagonist. A knight of the Kingdom of Grandshelt who is exceptionally skilled and entrusted with commanding an airship squadron at a young age. Bright, earnest, and deeply principled, he is trusted by many.

Rain holds complicated feelings toward his father, Raegen, who left his family behind and disappeared without a trace.

Lasswell (voiced by Alejandro Saab in English, Yusuke Kobayashi in Japanese)

A knight of the Kingdom of Grandshelt who possesses skills equal to Rain’s and serves as his deputy commander in the airship squadron. Serious and disciplined, he is a model soldier trusted by both his subordinates and his superiors.

Orphaned at a young age, Lasswell was taken in and raised by Rain’s family. Having grown up with Rain, he often finds himself dragged along by Rain’s impulsive nature.

Fina (voiced by Lizzie Freeman in English, Akane Fujita in Japanese)

A mysterious girl who appears from the Earth Crystal, she has lost all her memories except for her name.

Cheerful and pure-hearted, Fina excels in white magic and archery, and can even communicate with espers. However, she cannot remember where she learned these skills—or why she is able to speak with espers at all.

Veritas of the Dark (voiced by Ian Sinclair in English, Akio Otsuka in Japanese)

An armored man who suddenly appears before Rain and the others, destroys the Earth Crystal, and launches an assault on Grandshelt. Wielding overwhelming power, he schemes to annihilate all the Crystals.

?????? (voiced by Corey Pettit in English, Inori Minase in Japanese)

A mysterious woman bound by a deep enmity to Veritas of the Dark. She travels alongside Bahamut and primarily wields offensive magic.

Though she often teases Rain and presents a playful front, a strong, unwavering resolve lies hidden beneath her lighthearted demeanor.

A Square Enix revelou oficialmente Final Fantasy Resonance, um novo RPG no estilo HD-2D que chegará para PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch e PC. O anúncio foi acompanhado de um trailer e das primeiras imagens do jogo, além de detalhes sobre o sistema de combate, exploração e trilha sonora.

O game é uma evolução fiel do clássico sistema de batalha por turnos da série Final Fantasy, com foco em acessibilidade e profundidade estratégica. O combate utiliza uma linha do tempo no topo da tela, que exibe a ordem de ação de aliados e inimigos para os próximos turnos, da esquerda para a direita. Os jogadores podem montar e desenvolver sua equipe de acordo com preferências, como equipar um personagem com alta força de ataque com uma visão ofensiva ou buscar uma build de spellblade com uma visão especializada em magia.

As invocações, chamadas de espers, retornam com grande impacto. Embora exijam uma quantidade significativa de PM para serem convocadas, seu poder avassalador pode virar o jogo, especialmente contra inimigos formidáveis. Um dos espers apresentados é Ramuh, uma entidade que assume a forma de um idoso de longa barba, cujo movimento especial, Julgamento Relâmpago, causa dano elétrico a todos os inimigos.

A exploração do mundo será feita a bordo de uma aeronave, que se torna acessível conforme a jornada avança. A aeronave expande drasticamente as áreas que podem ser visitadas, permitindo que o jogador explore livremente o mundo e pouse em locais antes visíveis, mas inacessíveis. Diversas masmorras e inimigos poderosos só poderão ser alcançados por meio dela, aguardando Rain e seus aliados.

O jogo também contará com missões secundárias que trazem novos cenários focados em Rain e outros personagens principais, além do elenco de apoio de Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Esses episódios extras oferecem insights sobre o passado e os relacionamentos dos personagens, e ao completá-los, o jogador recebe recompensas específicas para cada um.

A trilha sonora de Final Fantasy Resonance é composta e arranjada pelo Elements Garden, liderado por Noriyasu Agematsu, e inclui 33 faixas inéditas, além de músicas provenientes de Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. O anúncio foi acompanhado de um trailer e de uma mensagem do produtor, além das primeiras screenshots divulgadas em uma galeria. O site oficial já está disponível nos idiomas inglês e japonês.
