This year's big Final Fantasy release comes in the form of Final Fantasy Resonance, a complete, HD-2D reimagining of the 2019 mobile game Brave Exvius. Where the original had you select your battles through menus and dailies, for what's known as symbol fights, Resonance goes back to random encounters with more exploration, because the devs believe this is in line with the property's roots.
"Symbol encounters allow players to engage in battle whenever they want," Keisuke Nakashima, producer on Final Fantasy Resonance, tells tells Automaton. "In that sense, symbol encounters are there to accommodate the players' freedom of playstyle. On the other hand, they could also end up resulting in less battles that are truly memorable."
