3 Final Fantasy Games to Play if You Loved FF Resonance
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Resonance, the first HD-2D installment in the storied RPG franchise, has launched on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. The new game serves as a comprehensive homage to the Final Fantasy series, featuring extensive cameos and references spanning the franchise’s long history. To help players extend their experience beyond Resonance, Polygon has compiled recommendations for classic and notable Final Fantasy titles that showcase different eras of the franchise.
Among the highlighted games is Final Fantasy 6, which remains available across multiple platforms including Switch, PS4, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. While the FF6 community continues to hope for a full remake similar to the recent Final Fantasy 7 Remake, that prospect appears unlikely according to comments from FF6 director Yoshinori Kitase in 2024. Despite the absence of a modern remake, the original remains accessible to modern audiences through various ports and re-releases.
The curated selection provides a mini retrospective of the Final Fantasy series, spanning different phases of its evolution and offering players insight into how the franchise has developed over decades. This guide serves both new players discovering the series through Resonance and longtime fans revisiting beloved entries.
