What Is Final Fantasy Resonance About?

Final Fantasy Resonance is a JRPG that follows Rain, a commander of the airship squadron from the Kingdom of Knights, Gandshelt. He receives a royal decree to investigate the Earth Shrine and determine why the magical barrier has waned.

When they arrive, Rain and his comrade Lasswell are violently confronted by a mysterious man in black armor, leading to the demise of the Earth Crystal. Rain and Lasswell narrowly survive to then find Grandshelt under attack by a man named Veritas of the Dark.

Rain and Lasswell, alongside a mysterious girl named Fina they meet along the way, set out on a journey to defeat Veritas. Are they ready for the turbulent journey that awaits them?

Is Final Fantasy Resonance a Remake?

Well, yes and no. It is based on the now-defunct mobile gacha game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
