FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE plays on the iPhone and, with update 1.0.1, runs at 60 fps instead of the 30 fps it has on the Switch. Its Packed app came to about 10 GB when the project developers last published sizes.

How it runs

The game asks for 30 fps through its engine settings; nxnative sets it to 60 whenever the game resets it, and because the game steps its world by the time that really passed, it plays at normal speed. On the Mac, it was tested through the first-boot brightness screen, the title, a new game on Normal difficulty, the opening cutscene, the first field with its autosave, continuing from that save, and the first two battles, at 60 fps.

Bring update 1.0.1

The 60 fps result and every other fact on this page apply to update 1.0.1. Put the 1.0.1 update in the same folder as the base game before you Pack.

Controls

The Packed app starts in the 3D touch layout: a left stick, a D-pad and the face buttons, with a right stick that is not drawn. Touch anywhere in the right third of the screen that has no control on it, and that touch works as the right stick, centred where your finger lands.

Good to know

• In one of two test runs the screen went black for a moment while a new game loaded. nxnative now handles the cause, but the project developers have not re-run this game since.
• If you would rather save battery, a frame-rate setting of 30 keeps the game at its original 30 fps. Set it on the app's settings screen or with DM_FPS_TARGET=30 in the app's env.txt file.
