π° What Happened
Final Fantasy Resonance, the first game in the series made in the HD-2D style, is now out on consoles and Windows PC. The style mixes pixel art with modern light and depth.
It is packed with cameos and nods to earlier Final Fantasy games. Polygon picked three older titles to play next: Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 9 and Final Fantasy 16.
π The Backstory
Final Fantasy 6 came out on the Super Nintendo and is still seen as the best of the series' 16-bit years. It has a large cast instead of one hero, and a famous twist halfway through.
Final Fantasy 9 returned to a cheerful, fairy-tale setting after two darker games. Final Fantasy 16 went the other way, as a fast action game rather than a turn-based role-playing game.
π― Why It Matters
If you liked Resonance, these three games show how far the series has changed in 30 years, and where to start next.
