The Final Fantasy Resonance interview reveals the game's development timeline and inspiration. The concept emerged around 6-7 years ago, inspired by the classic Final Fantasy experience, particularly Final Fantasy V. The game aims to capture the essence of turn-based combat and exploration, drawing from the series' history and fan feedback. The story revolves around crystals, a recurring theme in Final Fantasy, and explores themes like father-child relationships, similar to Final Fantasy V. The game's narrative and gameplay have been meticulously reworked for the console experience, blending elements from the mobile game Brave Exvius with the classic Final Fantasy formula. The turn-based combat system combines elements from Final Fantasy V's Job system and Final Fantasy VI's unique character traits, ensuring all characters are equally useful and providing a satisfying and intuitive gameplay experience. The resurgence of turn-based RPGs is attributed to the accessibility of handheld hardware and the influence of creators who grew up playing these games, leading to a renaissance in the genre.
