About this game
RPG · Turn-based · HD-2DFinal Fantasy Resonance puts the series back in pixels, but not the same ones. Square Enix frames it as a question: what if Final Fantasy had kept pushing pixel art to its limit? The answer is HD-2D. Characters and enemies are sprites; environments, lighting and camera are 3D, and battles pull the camera to the side so every break and Resonance beat has framing. The story comes from the first arc of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, rewritten as a single-player RPG around Rain, a young knight of the kingdom of Grandshelt.

Visions
