Final Fantasy Resonance is shaping up to be a solid experience on Switch 2, PS5, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally
Key Points:
- Square Enix released a free demo of Final Fantasy Resonance across all platforms, with performance tested on Switch 1, Switch 2, PS5, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally, revealing varying frame rates and visual quality depending on the system.
- On Switch 1, the game runs with expected graphical compromises and occasional frame drops below 30fps, while the Switch 2 version offers a more stable 60fps experience with better visuals, though still showing some dithering effects.
- The PS5 version delivers flawless performance with minimal load times and enhanced textures and shadows, but the Switch 2 version remains highly competitive, especially due to its portability.
- Steam Deck runs the game mostly above 60fps on high settings with occasional drops during heavy effects, while the ROG Ally performs even better at around 100fps at 1080p, benefiting from variable refresh rate support.
- The main critique across platforms is the game's font design, which feels outdated and out of place compared to the rest of the game, with hopes for future patches or mods to improve it.
