Final Fantasy Resonance Reviews Beat Square Enix's Previous HD-2D RPG

Final Fantasy Resonance marks Square Enix's first use of its HD-2D art style in its marquee franchise, drawing inspiration from the Final Fantasy Brave Exvius mobile game that ran from 2015 to 2025. The game removes all gacha and microtransaction elements from the free-to-play version while adding a 16-bit-inspired overworld map and turn-based combat. Its review scores beat those of Square Enix's previous HD-2D RPG.
