Final Fantasy Resonance's Turn-Based Battle System Has One Perfect Modern Touch

Final Fantasy Resonance is reportedly updating classic turn-based Final Fantasy combat with a modern stagger system.

The mechanic lowers enemy gauges, can cancel enemy actions, and rewards exploiting weaknesses and manipulating turn order.

The approach aims to blend old-school strategy with newer tactical depth in an HD-2D-style presentation.

If accurate, it could signal Square Enix is reviving mainline-style turn-based battles for both longtime fans and newcomers.
