Sometimes it's fun to see an old homie you haven't seen in a while. Final Fantasy Resonance understands that, to great effect.

The new throwback-style RPG from Square Enix remixes assets from the mobile game Brave Exvius into a single-player console and PC adventure, complete with turn-based combat inspired by the classics. "Visions," ghostly apparitions of characters from previous Final Fantasy games, are a big part of the combat, with each one imbuing their associated main party member with new powers and powerful special moves that can turn the tide of any fight.

With that in mind, I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about my six favorite visions in Final Fantasy Resonance . Some are here just because I think they're cool, and others because of their role in combat. Let's get into it.
