Square Enix labels Resonance as the first “HD-2D” Final Fantasy experience, mimicking the style found in the company’s very own Octopath Traveler series, combining retro-style JRPG sprites with a 3D environment and cutscenes. It also takes the series back to its roots with traditional turn-based combat, and you can take as much time as you like without any pressure.

What you should know about Final Fantasy Resonance
Since Instant Gaming is selling a Steam key for Final Fantasy Resonance, it’s worth taking a look at the Steam page to see the response so far. The game holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” user review rating on the platform, and it’s highly praised among classic JRPG enthusiasts seeking a turn-based approach, which is refreshing compared to recent mainline entries to the series.
Final Fantasy Resonance follows Rain and his childhood friend Laswell on a journey involving magical Crystals and a threat to their world. Interestingly, the game is based on the first story arc of the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, but has been extensively rebuilt into a full console-quality RPG rather than simply porting the original.
If you’re wondering about some of the more fan-servicey aspects of the title, there’s the Visions system for battles. This allows players to equip echoes of famous Final Fantasy characters, including Cloud, Tidus, and the Warrior of Light, to unlock abilities and customise your party. Chocobos are another fan-favorite inclusion.
The game runs smoothly on a wide range of hardware, making it a great choice to pick up and play. It’s also Steam Deck Verified, so you’ll have no trouble playing it on Valve’s popular handheld device. On the same note, Resonance is available on the Nintendo Switch 2, along with the original Switch. As for the Instant Gaming deal, however, we only saw the discount in-stock for PC (Steam) and Microsoft Store (PC or Xbox Series X|S) versions. The PS5 version is not in stock, though this may depend on your region.
