Square Enix executives initially wanted Final Fantasy Resonance to be a simple, cheaper port of the mobile game, but producer Keisuke Nakashima pushed for something bigger, removing gacha and microtransactions
Nakashima said, โI didnโt want to go down that route,โ recalling fans interested in Brave Exvius who avoided it due to its gacha elements.
Looks like he was right, the game hit a record Steam player peak for a single-player Final Fantasy, with early estimates suggesting 400K copies sold in less than five days, generating around $20 million.
