Final Fantasy Resonance brings the series into HD-2D with a golden-age turn-based tale

Final Fantasy Resonance marks the first time the Final Fantasy series has gotten the HD-2D visual treatment, which combines 2D pixel art with three-dimensional environments and dynamic lighting effects. The style was first introduced with 2018's Octopath Traveler, and earlier this year, Square Enix's action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales innovated on the style in some endearing new ways. Now, Resonance is poised to take that innovation a step further, with a turn-based tale of crystals that imagines a world where Final Fantasy games continued to push the limits of pixel art in the late '90s and beyond.
