Found a consistent method to grind XP on early game. Shortly after progressing through the Dwarven Forge there is a cactuar you can randomly run into just south of the Wind Shrine that gives 2500XP each encounter. Seems the Cactuar has high evasion so multi hits is the way to go. Have been grinding here for a little bit from 17 to 22 rather quickly. Much faster XP than the small amounts from regular mobs. Great for the Expert playthrough!

Ppl were grinding ethers like hell at act one, but now in full release you can just buy them at first town when crossing the sea, hilarious.

Her Mechabo evolution quests have you hunt the rarest enemy in each region, with the spot it shows you having like a 60% chance of spawning the enemy. And like a 30% chance of spawning Cactaurs.

In the desert the green Cactaurs give a lot of MR, while the silver ones by the forge give 2500 XP a pop and also a lot of MR

Let’s GO! Today is the day!! Who else is playing day 1, what console are you playing on and anyone working on the platinum? I’d love to meet like minded gamers who are playing while I’m playing. If anyone wants to add me to PSN or Switch, inbox me. I’ll give my info. We are all in this new FF journey together. 🖤

Avid fan of Final Fantasy, making it a point to get the Collector’s Editions if possible. Wasn’t able to snag a preorder slot for Resonance but the fiancée surprised me with this!!! 😍😍😍

Resonance holds a special place because the mobile version was a way to escape the stress of professional school. Can’t wait to start playing later!

The Box looks real good

Just got mine.

Just wanted to let people know about a hidden item (Black Garb) thats found in the castle only while its on fire.

After beating the hell rider or whatever that boss is called if you had left you should see a knight statue, if you walk into the statue you'll enter a hidden room with a chest containing the black garb!

As far as i am aware, its only obtainable during this sequence of the game as after the story in the castle you will be unable to get back into the castle cause "its being repaired" so if you dont want to miss an item make sure you grab this before continuing onto the main boss of the castle on fire section.

It provides +26 Defense, +23 Magic? Or Magic Defense? & +8 Speed

I've been playing Resonance and am really liking it so far. IDK if this has already been asked about or if I'm just going crazy, but are the continent shapes on the world map references to iconic FF symbols?

Dirnado (top-middle) is absolutely shaped like FF8's Griever, no? And the islands of Grandshelt each individually remind me of an iconic crystal design from FFs past (with the northeastern-most looking like FFXII's Great Crystal? Is it a stretch to say Pharm looks like the Revenant Wings logo?

Are they references? If so, there's about half I can't place—can ya'll? Am I just seeing things? Has this already been completely discussed and demystified and I'm just slow? LMK!

Definitely having a blast. But im for sure blowing through pheonix downs like crazy in every boss fight.

Some pro tips that's helping me if anyone else is also struggling

• Get deathblow on everyone. It doesnt miss during stagger. So during your damage windows you get guaranteed crits which really help wear enemies down (and restore MP if you have that ability)

• You can use Terras double damage ability on Finas limit burst. It should be in the bottom. When she gets limit bursts she can chunk for a good 4-6k

• Utilize rain to protect all to save yourself from a wipe. If a big hit is coming just accept the fact that you lost rain. He'll take ×4 damage and die but the rest of your team is at least alive to revive him

Hope you guys are having a good time! Let me know if you guys found some broken combos with visions yet. So far Noctis seems super underwhelming but his 25% evade chance works well on Rain. I also dig the auto bravery. Helps in overworld battles a ton cuz some regular mobs are so tanky

So far as I can tell, the only sources of Libra are Cloud and the White Mage vision. You can't "learn" this spell from either of them. So if you want to be able to scan enemies, do you just have to keep one of them equipped permanently? I feel like the answer is yes, but I'm hoping I'm just missing something.

Don’t really have time to play the story so I’m mindlessly grinding cactuars only for the 78 AP, Rain has the Master Ring equipped so it makes sense that he’s ahead, but why is Lasswell so far behind? They all started at the exact same exp and have been battling together the whole time.

Relaying an art piece for Resonance Release day.

Enjoy the game everyone! Have a Fina

No content. Nothing of substance. Pure anticipation.

So I’m fighting the second esper on the second continent. He absolutely is clapping me in expert. My party is lvl 15 except for Lid who’s only levels up once. Has anyone beat it yet? Wondering if I need to come back after continuing the main story

God damn beautiful. The two main blades (Crimson Saber and Purple Lightning) and Fina's now, Bahamut, the archsorceress (no spoil on her name), the crystals, the water reflections. Truly breathtaking. Strangely, this one was not credited in the post.

As always, Reddit downscaled the quality. Please, go check the actual art on Twitter. It looks perfect.

With this artwork, i officially warn everyone to avoid every FF subs in the following days (at least 3-4 days) if you don't want to get spoiled. I personally will still release the other artworks of I-V in r/FinalFantasy but i won't go further.

Title - unsure if someone can test or knows the answer, googling is failing me. I wanted to theorycraft builds for Fina and realized I wasn’t sure for espers If the magic stat on Fina effects their damage.

Now that resonance is out. How are you guys feeling about the pre-order and deluxe edition bonuses? Especially I'm already way overpowered for a lot of them

Which one are you guys using past chapter 2?

Having played the demo and getting well and truly absorbed into the game... The full game is... Amazing.

Hearing the music from all the old games when you enter the sanctum... Just reminds me of far more simpler times... Nothing but the game. Happy times.

Already climbing up my favourite games chart without much effort...
