Explained simply
Final Fantasy is a long-running series of role-playing games, often featuring new worlds and casts of characters in each instalment. Many games in the series combine turn-based battles, where players choose actions for their characters, with stories about threats to the world.
In Final Fantasy Resonance, players recruit âVisionsâ, echoes of famous heroes from the series, to join their party. The Warrior of Light is one such figure, while the wider story centres on restoring the light of four elemental Crystals.
The game is being made by Square Enix for Nintendo Switch consoles. Its mix of strategic battles and familiar series characters may appeal to both returning fans and players new to Final Fantasy.
