In June, Square Enix announced it was bringing a brand-new HD-2D Final Fantasy turn-based adventure to the Switch 1 & 2.
Following the initial reveal, it has now released a new trailer highlighting the art style of Final Fantasy Resonance and it looks just as stunning as previous Square Enix games featuring HD-2D graphics.
As for the gameplay, players can expect a strategic battle system, dramatic story and cutscenes, voiced characters as well as Chocobo and airship travel. You’ll also be able to bolster your party with “Visions” – aka echoes of beloved Final Fantasy characters.

Though Rain and Lasswell narrowly survive, their airship is wrecked, and their comrades have fallen…When Rain and Lasswell return, they find Grandshelt under attack by the armored man—Veritas of the Dark. They manage to rescue the king, but once again suffer a crushing defeat.
To protect the remaining Crystals scattered across the world, Rain and Lasswell set out on a journey in pursuit of Veritas of the Dark, joined by Fina, the mysterious girl they met in Grandshelt.
At this moment, none of them could have imagined the turbulent fate that awaited them.
