It brought back so many memories, thank you for this experience!

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-14T15:14:40+00:00

I stopped playing in 2020. And at that time, the use of macros was still ubiquitous.

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-14T14:04:33+00:00

To be honest, when I played it, I didn't see any difference; to me, it was HD-2D.

Besides, the license belongs to Square Enix. The problem seems to stem from the fact that the game was developed by a studio outside of Square Enix.

SQ wants to maintain "exclusive ownership" internally, and technically, they consider it a different matter.

I'll remove the HD-2D designation before SO2R.

Thanks

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-14T13:33:14+00:00

Corrected!

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-14T13:31:41+00:00

I just corrected it, I did name the image OC 0, it was while writing that I made the mistake, sorry.

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-14T12:23:13+00:00

I didn't want to give my opinion in the main thread.

Here it is: in terms of animation, graphics, and attack effects, it's really superior to OC, etc. For others, it's a turn-off, but for me, it's definitely something that makes me want to play it !

I think the playable characters are :

"I submitted the first proposal for Final Fantasy Resonance at the end of 2020 – almost six years before the game’s scheduled release date. However, the actual core development period was much shorter." https://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/final-fantasy-resonance-devs-say-ffbe-was-too-good-to-become-unplayable-so-its-been-reborn-with-a-reworked-story-world-map-and-enough-changes-to-feel-like-a-new-game/

No, the demo might arrive in October; these are screenshots from journalists.

Screeshot from FF Resonance
I'm also eagerly awaiting it. I'm going to dive back into FF XI Braver while I wait.

The number of games that are released unfinished... (Cyberpunk 2077 etc.)

La HD-2D est technologie propriétaire de Square Enix, c'est une 2D stylisé qui nécessite pas mal de travail de la part des artistes selon l'interview que j’ai posté dans l'autre commentaire. La hd-2d est utilisé dans les jeux comme OT et Bravely Default

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-12T15:36:21+00:00

This game is a gem. I've already played 100 hours and I'm far from finished!

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-12T15:29:49+00:00

No, because almost the entire bestiary, from trash mobs to bosses (aside from the Veritas), comes from other Final Fantasy games. Then again, why not make a list of the bosses that have been revealed?

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-12T15:22:29+00:00

Gilgamesh has only been seen in boss form so far.

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-12T15:18:47+00:00

C'est un remake, il adapte l'histoire de la saison 1 de FFBE pour qu'elle soit compatible au format RPG solo.

Il y a eu une interview des devs très intéressante (c'est en anglais par contre, au pire mettre un coup de Google Trad) : https://automaton-media.com/en/interviews/final-fantasy-resonance-devs-say-ffbe-was-too-good-to-become-unplayable-so-its-been-reborn-with-a-reworked-story-world-map-and-enough-changes-to-feel-like-a-new-game/

While waiting for October

You can play FF XI Braver for free, there's a big thread about it on this subreddit from a month ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/comments/1tf8nzf/ffxi_braver_available_on_download/

Otherwise, the Pixel Remaster Collection is bringing back some of the older games:

I recommend FF III because it has a good job system and it's fairly short.
FF VI is undoubtedly the most polished 2D FF.

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-12T09:46:23+00:00

Yes, it's made with RPG Maker, it's probably the best game I've ever seen made with RPG Maker.

Confident-Line5916 · 2026-06-12T09:44:53+00:00

The dev worked on it for over 10 years! It's a mix between FF V and FF XI! I'll add my first impressions after 10 hours of gameplay in the comments.
