    The heritage

    The Brave Exvius Legacy

    Resonance is not built from nothing — it is the rebirth of a story millions of players lost when Final Fantasy Brave Exvius shut down. Here is the heritage, kept deliberately spoiler-light.

    2015 — 2024

    What Brave Exvius was

    Final Fantasy Brave Exvius was Square Enix's flagship mobile RPG: a decade-long story across multiple seasons, classic turn-based combat, and a cast that grew into one of the most beloved in the franchise's mobile history. Its servers closed in October 2024 — taking the entire story with them. There was no way left to play it.

    That is what makes Resonance special: launching on October 22, 2026 — eleven years to the month after Brave Exvius first launched in Japan — it brings that lost first saga back as a premium HD-2D adventure, with new story additions.

    The first saga

    The story Resonance retells

    Two young knights of Grandshelt, Rain and Lasswell, leave on a routine patrol and walk into a continental crisis: the elemental Crystals that sustain the world are being corrupted, one by one. Joined by Fina — a girl with no memory of her past — they chase a hooded figure across the realms, and discover that the Crystals' enemy, Veritas of the Dark, guards secrets far older than any kingdom.

    The road ahead

    The realms of the first arc

    Only Grandshelt is confirmed for Resonance so far — the rest is what the original arc visited, and what we expect the HD-2D retelling to cover. Updated as Square Enix reveals more.

    Kingdom of Grandshelt

    Confirmed

    In Brave Exvius, Grandshelt is the starting nation of the world of Lapis, famed for its knightly traditions.

    Dirnado — Brave Exvius backdrop

    Dirnado

    Expected

    In Brave Exvius, Dirnado is the land of wind and machines, home of the airship-building town of Dilmagia.

    Olderion — Brave Exvius backdrop

    Olderion

    Expected

    In Brave Exvius, the Olderion Federation is protected by sacred waters and the aquapolis of Aquapolis Olderion.

    Zoldaad — Brave Exvius backdrop

    Zoldaad

    Expected

    In Brave Exvius, the Zoldaad Empire is a land of fire and conquest whose arc turns on imperial intrigue.

    Mysidia — Brave Exvius backdrop

    Mysidia

    Expected

    In Brave Exvius, Mysidia is a secluded holy land of magic — a nod to the classic Final Fantasy location of the same name.

    Gronoa — Brave Exvius backdrop

    Gronoa

    Expected

    In Brave Exvius, Gronoa is the harsh continent crossed in the first arc's final stretch.

    Pharm — Brave Exvius backdrop

    Pharm

    Expected

    In Brave Exvius, Pharm hosts the climax of the first saga. We keep this entry spoiler-light on purpose.

    The masked knights

    The Veritas

    Veritas of the Dark does not act alone. In Brave Exvius, he is one of several armored warriors bearing the Veritas name, each tied to an element and to the fate of the Crystals. Who they are — and why they do what they do — is the first arc's beating heart. We will not say more than that.

    Allies of legend

    Espers

    Summons are confirmed for Resonance, and Brave Exvius veterans know them as espers — legendary beings fought, earned and bonded to the party. The original roster included Siren, Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, Golem, Odin, Bahamut, Diabolos and many more. Which of them return, and how, is still to be revealed.

    Already confirmed

    What carries over

    • Rain, Lasswell, Fina, Dark Fina and Veritas of the Dark — the heart of the cast
    • The realm of Grandshelt and the protective Crystals
    • Summons, chocobos and moogles
    • The Coliseum and a Gilgamesh storyline as side content
    • Music from Brave Exvius alongside 33 brand-new tracks
