## Key points

- Executives initially favoured a simple Brave Exvius port.
- Producer Keisuke Nakashima pushed for a full console RPG.
- Resonance reworks the mobile game, but sales figures are unknown.

## Summary

Square Enix producer Keisuke Nakashima says company executives initially favoured making Final Fantasy Resonance a straightforward port of the discontinued mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Nakashima wanted instead to create a full console RPG, and the released game substantially reworks its source material into an experience closer to a traditional Final Fantasy adventure.

Brave Exvius shut down in 2024, and Resonance builds on its foundations while changing entire systems for console play. The article says the game has been well received by fans and reviewers, but its sales were not known at the time of writing. A simple port would likely have cost less to make, though Nakashima said he did not want that approach.
