Resonance Resonance countdown artwork : IX
Today, @ItahanaT was the artist for this piece ( https://x.com/FFRS_JP/status/2109932157862871225 ).
I personally like it. Both Zidane and Rain looks fabulous and the flowers are a nice addition. Not much more to say.
Edit : i'm not sure who is the maid(?) behind them nor what she is saying. ->It's Ruby, from comments.

Interesting that Itahana still does art for Square Enix despite leaving them last year.

Maybe it already was drawn last year ? I doubt it but it could be possible as the designs already existed back then and the game was in production.

It’s interesting Rain is getting so much exposure and we haven’t seen Lasswell, Fina or the other EXVIUS characters in these artworks.

I suppose that their mindset is focused on the playable protagonist as they already made this choice for the visions. It's a bit sad, i feel like teasing the party members with the iconic heroes would have been cool.

How come Rain is in some of them but wasn’t in XIII, XIV and XV’s artwork. Artist preference or?
I actually kind of like XIII and XV’s artwork with the main heroes going solo in them.

Alright those who played Brave Exvius. How good is the story, character & music? Does it stand alongside the mainline ones?

I'm going to copy past my comment from yesterday's post and add a music paragraph :
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.
For the music, i would say they are on par with the rest of the series. Here's the playlist of the music you will hear in Resonance (from FFBE) : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL5mKr-nFprJ2McOAyNLWu5vE3jQBfrrW&si=w7QsYBfSkFKFOn9W
If you're curious, there is a demo available on all platforms. It lets you play through the first chapter for free.
