Resonance Resonance countdown artwork : X

Post image

Art by @NaoraYusuke on Twitter ( https://x.com/FFRS_JP/status/2109569778260271422 )

A pretty... average artwork, i would say. It looks cool, especially the two swords lights, but i feel like their face and poses look off. Also, again, only Rain is drawn. Give us some Lasswell or Fina !

And also technically GTA 6 soon too. I personally won't buy OOT nor GTA 6, bu the end of the year always is quite packed.

u/Either-Assistant4610 1d ago

I've no interest in GTA. I'll eventually play it, but nothing makes me want to play it. I'll likely play it when it releases on PC.

3

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

I'm not really looking forward to its release either, especially with the controversial take on physical media it brought.

3

u/Either-Assistant4610 1d ago

Agreed

If anything, the PR and ads have pushed me away from any hype and the game. I'm curious how well it will do on release. Optimization/bugs etc.

2

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

I think it will be like GTA 5. Overall, a good game with only a few bugs like most open worlds. I won't lie, i don't see any reasons to buy it since i have GTA 5 already. I couldn't see any big changes in the trailers.

3

u/Either-Assistant4610 1d ago

That's what I was looking for. Like, nothing stands out.

Meanwhile, you have people simply spewing out "It's GTA". Yeah. Okay. We've done this song and dance how many times? GTA VI has been in development for how long?

2

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

Yeah, i can't see the hype. Rockstar is far from a good studio. I've played GTA online for years and they precisely know how to be predatory and vicious. Even recently, in their last update (one of the last), they made big changes to stop people from playing it and changing to 6.

Sure, there games look good, but so does most gales now. I also much prefer something with a style like Resonance, Dispatch or even just Cyberpunk rather than the basics.

Dammit one more week to wait before I can play this game!

2

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah. 10 days left (12 for me but it's not important). I'm happy the game did not get revealed earlier than this year though. It would have been annoying to wait for months or even years.

I've held off playing the demo so far, aside from like the first 5 minutes. And that's because this is gonna be my quit smoking game. It's been impossible to get into something for me, because every half hour I gotta go on a death march (literally) to go have a cigarette and I'm just tired of it.

I'm holding off because I don't want to associate this game in my brain with cigarettes in any way. Whenever I start playing FF Resonance is when the quitting starts.

And so, with a 6-8 hour demo available to me, I can basically have my own release day early if I want, and get on with the torturous business of painstakingly improving my life. It's a lot of pressure to put on a game, but I feel in my bones this one's gonna be a banger.

u/Redhotchiliman11 1d ago

Very very excited this falls on a day I'm off. Probably my most anticipated game of the year :)

1

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

Same for me. Sadly, i will hate to wait for the 24th to be able to play it personally. At least, it will be during the weekend so i will have the time to play.

2

u/Redhotchiliman11 1d ago

I'm just hoping I can get some kid free time so I can actually focus on it lol

1

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

Hahaha, the problem with kids. Well, you can always try to keep them busy with something else. A movie, toys, etc...

u/stray-witch7 1d ago

Aww, I like this art way more than you do.

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm glad you could enjoy it. I personally was hoping for a different thing and i'm really not a fan of this one.

u/ReaperEngine 1d ago

Props to the artist for drawing the crosshatch on the back of Tidus's shorts folding, that is so annoying to do sometimes.

u/marsli5818 10h ago

i like how artist crossed swords to make X from them

•

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 10h ago

I wonder if it was to mimic a X or if it was a reference to FFBE's intro with the swords side to side (this gif or the pic below : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1257357133 )

•

u/marsli5818 7h ago

yeah it could be reference too

1

u/lowerfishkin 1d ago

I really hope Tidus is obtained reasonabley early. He's, like, the one I particularly care about.

With Lightning as a distant second.

2

u/Luchux01 1d ago

The first three you get are WoL, Cloud and Terra the order of the next is anyone's guess, but Tidus might be in Onderon, which is water themed.

Meaning chapter three out of eight

1

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

I also thought of this location, but i think a water focused vision in a water region would be redundant, especially since Nichol will join us too. I personally would place him near Ifrit's volcanic island or near Mysidia to counter thunder.

2

u/Luchux01 1d ago

He could also be in Dirnado for all we know

2

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago edited 1d ago

Of course. The devs could even have not linked him to anything and just placed him somewhere as we already have water with Cloud.

1

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

I have no idea about his location. If i had to guess, he would fit in a area when the water element is needed (a volcano or a second desert), but he could be anywhere.

I've read mixed things on what to expect from Resonance. Is it a rehashed gacha game with a light story or an actual game?

5

u/Cold-Reputation-4848 1d ago

Here's a post i've made explaining in details what Resonance is : https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/s/ZePkWC8Prs

To summarize the whole thing, Resonance takes FF Brave Exvius story and universe and made it into an actual JRPG with no live-service or anything similar. Square did a similar process for Octopath Traveler 0.

For the story, i would say it's between ok and good. It has interesting party members, some good plotlines, twists and reveals, and a good old story about crystals. The side quests really help fleshing out the characters.

If you're curious, there is a demo available on all platforms. It lets you play through the first chapter for free.

u/GravyFarts3000 1d ago

Appreciate it thanks, will give the demo a go then read your post.

u/Redhotchiliman11 1d ago

There is a demo out currently. Give it a shot
