So I saw they released Final Fantasy Resonance. And it seems like an amalgam game. Like a best of episode. And that’s not what I mean. For me growing up FF7 was my introduction to the series. I had a Super Nintendo but I just missed FF6 somehow. I think it would be awesome if Square Enix’s next mainline title was a throwback (visually) and sported modern retro pixel graphics. All new characters and a new storyline though. They won’t do that but I think it would be awesome.

I also really enjoyed Xenogears, one of my top three games of all time for sure. There is a game on steam called Chained Echos that hit some of those same notes.

This is the kind of thing I’m talking about.

Chained Echos was fun at first. I didn't like how grindy it got after a while.

I recommend Rise of the 3rd Power . Its very final fantasy like with jrpg elements. Tiny indie with a lot of heart. The game has some great music, pixel animations, and I enjoyed the story. https://store.steampowered.com/app/698700/Rise_of_the_Third_Power/

One of the same studios older titles is Ara Fell : Enhanced Edition https://store.steampowered.com/app/440540/Ara_Fell_Enhanced_Edition/ its pretty good as well.

Both are on sale at the moment.

If your looking for more of a jrpg with even more style Small Saga is fantastic! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1320140/Small_Saga/

If your looking for silly Epic Battle Fantasy 5 : https://store.steampowered.com/app/432350/Epic_Battle_Fantasy_5/
...I like everything Matt Roszak makes to be honest. My wife has like 50+ hours in the newest find matts cats game.

Hope that helps!
