But for whatever reason it&#8217;s only now getting round to Final Fantasy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Final Fantasy Resonance<\/em> can proudly call itself the first HD-2D Final Fantasy game, and it&#8217;s not a remake like the recent Dragon Quest ones, but rather a new(ish) series entry based on the first story arc of mobile game <em>Final Fantasy Brave Exvius<\/em>. &#8220;Far from just a direct port, it has been refined and extensively rebuilt as a full-fledged console-quality RPG experience&#8221; Square Enix wrote in a press release.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE - Announce Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wbsfQYI_IIY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The publisher promises that <em>Resonance<\/em> will be a celebration of both the classic and modern eras of Final Fantasy, featuring all the series hallmarks. Expect turn-based combat with a contemporary twist, airships, plenty of chocobos, and appearances from the likes of Cloud Strife and <em>Final Fantasy X<\/em>&#8216;s Tidus.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That shiny HD pixel art is really the big draw here, though, and if you&#8217;ve been hoping for Final Fantasy&#8217;s answer to the Octopath Traveler series, this might just be it. <em>Final Fantasy Resonance<\/em> launches on October 22, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PC, Switch, Switch 2 and Xbox Series X\/S<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2190521\/new-hd-2d-final-fantasy-announced-for-consoles-and-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Fantasy Resonance is the first game in the series to employ the popular modern-retro art style. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Square Enix has spent the last&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6570,3581,2829,667,10132],"class_list":["post-59492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-announced","tag-consoles","tag-fantasy","tag-final","tag-hd2d","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
