Summons
Classic Final Fantasy summons return in Resonance. Which summons appear and how they integrate into combat is still to be revealed.

Known Bosses
Boss: Ultima Arma
Ultima Arma has been shown as one of Resonance's major boss encounters — a returning threat for Brave Exvius veterans.

Presentation & World
HD-2D Presentation
Resonance is the first Final Fantasy rendered in HD-2D — detailed pixel-art characters inside diorama-like 3D environments with modern lighting, the style pioneered by Octopath Traveler and the Dragon Quest III remake.
Chocobos & Moogles
The series' beloved mascots are both present — expect chocobos for traversal flavor and moogles around shops, saves or services, as tradition demands.
