Final Fantasy Resonance Review: A nostalgic JRPG limited by its mobile origins
Final Fantasy Resonance doesn’t really have to do anything new. This is a new adaptation of an older mobile game, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, with the gacha system removed and progression completely reworked to befit a more standard, single-player, premium JRPG.

Everything about the setting, character designs, and major story beats feels cherry-picked from classic FF games that fans are nostalgic for. Read More...
