Game overview
Hope resonates within the crystals
FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE is Square Enix and Lancarse's first HD-2D entry in the series: a single-player turn-based RPG that rebuilds the Lapis arc of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius without gacha. Rain, Lasswell, and Fina leave Grandshelt after Veritas of the Dark shatters the Earth Crystal. Combat uses a visible timeline, elemental stagger, and cinematic Resonance finishers. Equip Visions of series legends such as Cloud and the Warrior of Light, call espers for three-turn bursts, and chase side hunts from Gilgamesh to Ultima Weapon. A free Chapter 1 demo is playable on every platform, with save data carrying into the full game on October 22, 2026 (Steam lists October 23 in Japan). Start with the beginner guide, play through the demo walkthrough, then study combat, Visions, the party, and the Vision tier list. Compare editions and PC requirements before you pre-order.

Quick start
Five steps from the free demo to a launch-ready party.
- 1
Download the Chapter 1 demo
Grab the free demo on Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox, or Steam. It covers the full opening chapter (about three to five hours) and your save carries into the retail game. Follow the demo walkthrough so you do not miss Mitra, early Visions, or the first Sanctum of Light.
- 2
Learn the timeline and stagger
Resonance is turn-based with no ATB bar. Watch the timeline at the top of the screen, hit elemental weaknesses to fill stagger gauges, and bank a Sweeping Stagger for a Resonance finisher. The combat guide explains Extra Phase timing.
- 3
Build around Rain, Lasswell, and Fina
Your opening party is the Grandshelt airship commander Rain, his deputy Lasswell, and the mysterious maiden Fina, later joined by Jake and Lid. Read the party page before you lock jobs and ability costs.
- 4
Hunt Vision crystals
Story events and Sanctums of Light unlock crystallized heroes — Cloud, the Warrior of Light, Terra, Clive, Noctis, and more. Equip one Vision per character, then mix learned skills within the cost cap. See how to get Visions and the Vision tier list.

When does FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE launch?
Worldwide on October 22, 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. Japanese storefronts list Steam as October 23 because of timezone. Details live on the release date page.

Yes. Square Enix confirmed Chapter 1 save data carries into the full game. Some level caps apply in the demo. See the demo guide.
Which languages does this wiki cover?
English, French, German, and Spanish. The Steam build also lists Japanese, Korean, and Chinese; this wiki stays on the four European languages Square Enix ships with interface and subtitles.
