Final Fantasy Resonance devs explain HD-2D approach in new video

gamingJun 16, 202615167

Final Fantasy Resonance released a behind-the-scenes video that breaks down its HD-2D art pipeline, soundtrack approach, and turn-based combat design. Creators are translating those developer segments into new works, producing pixel-styled key art, orchestral remix clips, and short combat animatics that echo the studio's techniques. Artwork often centers on the Magitek Armor chocobo cosmetic teased for the Digital Deluxe edition and on reimagined Brave Exvius-era characters adapted into Resonance's rebuilt world. Contributions span illustration, comics, cosplay, edits, and animatics with frequent focus on the HD-2D combat moments showcased in the video.

Full game on Switch, keycard on Switch 2 and no upgrade path between the two. Square keeps throwing money away smh.

#blutoid PSA: If you're interested in Final Fantasy Resonance like I am, be advised that the Switch 2 version is being advertised as a Game Key Card. But, there's also a regular switch version too.

Jeez are posts that say "p$a" being targeted by bots? Be careful with all of these accounts asking for help ... Sad to say, most if not all are bots, I suspect

SE has yet to offer a single game on Switch 2 that isn’t a keycard, even the S2 games that aren’t coming to S1. There is no excuse. Until I see otherwise, I have to believe it’s never going to give us a full game on card again. And so, all its upcoming games get moved to the discount bin in my mind.

Wouldn't it be funny if Final Fantasy Resonance outsells XVI?

I want to clarify that Final Fantasy Resonance is not really a remaster or a remake ❤️ It's a reimagining which means they take ideas from FFBE but everything is still made from the ground up. FF7 is similar but it's different because this has even more drastic changes :)

since Final Fantasy Resonance is just a rebuild of Brave Exvius, will Katy Perry and Ariana Grande return as playable characters? if not then I am going to hurt myself

Saw the FF Soul quiz had a "Villain Break In" event— got curious and then less curious when the 2nd take revealed yet another "FF8" result (my least favorite of FF titled played)😒😆 Also seems since last time "Summon Contracts" were added too! Discover Your FF Soul Type - ff-resonance.vercel.app

⚠ Villain Break-In
A villain has broken into your soul resonance.
Ultimecia from Final Fantasy 8

Soul Resonance Summary:
From the end of time, this one sensed the moment you wanted the world to just... end. Hated, feared, yet still believing in herself to the last. Ultimecia came from the future — as the final sorceress, perfected in isolation. The urge to compress all of time and retreat into a world of your own — that impulse lives in you too.

Original Soul: Terra Branford (FF6) — 96% / Top 1%
「What do people fight for, I wonder」

A girl who feared her own power and even feared love. Yet fighting to protect orphaned children, you realize love is the source of all strength. When emotion is finally freed, the most beautiful magic is born.

Hot take: I'm personally more excited for Final Fantasy Resonance than FF7 Revelations. And that's probably because I love and am more interested in the turn-based mainline games more than.... whatever they're doing right now (the FF7 Remake trilogy is the exception though, someday I'll play them)

Remember when Final Fantasy was pure high fantasy with no fancy schmancy future tech bullshit? Yeah, me neither.

The Floating Castle dungeon in Final Fantasy 1, as it originally appeared in the FC/NES version. Note the very futuristic aesthetic.

it's the funniest thing in the world to be a diehard final fantasy 7 remake combat system defender and then go "yeah but it's good when you mod it to be harder." i fucking love playing a video game that's actually really fun that like 8 other people in the entire world have tried
