You may want to learn some beginner's tips for Final Fantasy Resonance, even though the game might feel familiar because of its 2D-HD visuals and old-school, turn-based combat. Sure, it's a Final Fantasy game, so Ultima is still a pretty strong magic attack, you ride a chocobo, and the story is all about crystals. However, from handling the multiple Visions available in the game and knowing which items you should always have in your bag to chasing nomad sellers to acquire rare materials, there's much to discover and understand about this game.
Below, we've listed 15 Final Fantasy Resonance beginner's tips to help you out. Rain is one of the most important characters in the game, but it's not his blonde hair, large sword, and red outfit that make him that important. He is by far the best character to serve as the party's tank and protect others from dangerous attacks while also having the potential to deal significant damage.
He has the protagonist sauce, so prepare to use him as a party member throughout the entire game. At first glance, Lid might not look like a strong character. Offering no support skills for the rest of the party and only a few earth-based attacks, she seems just the kind of character you replace as soon as a new party member appears — at least that's what I thought until I learned about Lid's Mechabo's potential to stagger enemies.
After you have upgraded her artificial chocobo to its final form, Lid will have a permanent spot in your party. Now, as you enter a new city, dungeon, or region, be sure to take some minutes to explore the place, open all the chests, and interact with all the glowing spots on the ground that you find. While you will encounter regular consumables like potions, you will also obtain great pieces of equipment that would cost you lots of gil if you bought them from shops.
Early in the game, earning enough money to equip all characters with their best-in-slot gear is too expensive, so any treasure you find will be useful. If you need better equipment for your character but haven't found one while exploring, I suggest stopping what you're doing and heading to the nearest shop. Gear in Final Fantasy Resonance is quite important, and trying to beat bosses undergeared will only increase the chances of seeing your party wiped out for lacking the stats to face the encounter.
Buying armor and weapons is not cheap, but having one or two characters well-equipped for fights is better than having none. Whether you're looking for a shop you've previously visited to buy a new sword for Rain or you want to revisit one of the major cities in the game to complete a side quest, navigating the world map can feel frustratingly slow. Moving the cursor from one side to the other takes ages, and since you can't see exactly where you are on the map, it can feel disorienting.
