Final Fantasy Resonance is a big surprise. Square Enix is billing it as the franchise’s first HD-2D entry, and it looks as retro and stunning as you’d expect. But it’s also technically a port of an existing mobile gacha game called Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Will it really be any good? According to Square Enix, yes. The RPG publisher is calling it a “console-quality” experience in the mold of last year’s excellent Octopath Traveler 0 remake.
