Square Enix released a teaser that focuses on the Warrior of Light as a Vision and explains how Visions change party roles and combat in the HD-2D remake of Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius.
Visions are equippable echoes of classic Final Fantasy heroes that amplify stats and grant new abilities when levelled.
Final Fantasy Resonance rebuilds the first story arc of the mobile game Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius in an HD-2D style with cinematic pixel art.
The game features familiar series elements (airships, crystals, espers, moogles), side content like Gilgamesh and a Colosseum, and is scheduled for release on multiple platforms on October 22.
Square Enix released a new teaser for Final Fantasy Resonance that spotlights the Warrior of Light Vision. The footage focuses on how players can call on his radiant strength during battles to support the party with both offensive and defensive options.
Visions are equippable characters—echoes of mainline Final Fantasy heroes—that dramatically boost party members when summoned. When a Vision is equipped it amplifies stats and unlocks new skills for the host character. Visions also use a persistent affinity mechanic: as you fight, affinity grows, the Vision levels up, and the party gains additional abilities over time.
The article notes several series protagonists already confirmed as Visions in Resonance, including Cloud (Final Fantasy VII), Tidus (Final Fantasy X), Terra (Final Fantasy VI), Y'Shtola (Final Fantasy XIV), Shantotto (Final Fantasy XI), and Lightning. The Warrior of Light joins that group and is shown in the new trailer.
The game adopts an HD-2D visual approach with cinematic pixel art and pixelized 3D models. It aims to keep classic Final Fantasy elements—airships, crystals, espers, moogles—while updating presentation with dynamic camera angles.
Combat remains strategic and turn-based. Key systems described include exploiting enemy weaknesses to stagger and break defenses, seizing extra turns, and using powerful Resonance attacks. Visions expand party customization by granting unique skills tied to well-known Final Fantasy characters.
The world contains hours of side content: wandering figures like Gilgamesh, a Colosseum with dangerous monsters and rewards, and other secrets for completionist players.
Related coverage notes the game is set to release on October 22 and will appear on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). A demo was also mentioned as available in further reporting, letting players try an initial chapter and carry saves into the full game.
Visions alter combat roles and progression. If you follow Final Fantasy for its characters and strategic turn-based battles, Resonance packages those elements into an HD-2D retelling of Brave Exvius' first arc with extra side content and classic franchise trappings.
