Square Enix Unveils the Complete Shiva Boss Fight from Final Fantasy Resonance
Square Enix didn't hold back yesterday — they dropped a 16-minute gameplay video of Final Fantasy Resonance recorded on PS5 right on our laps. But instead of showing us exploration maps or story sequences, they zeroed in on one thing and one thing only: the Shiva boss fight from start to finish.
The actual battle itself ran for 11 minutes, and the crew was going for the full recruitment of Shiva — basically adding her to the party as a powerful Summon. The video breaks down the entire combat system, the move animations, the whole package of how characters interact with this massive ice deity.
Real Talk: Strange Choice, But Smart
Honestly, I was expecting something broader — some story context, world-building, gameplay features. But instead, Square Enix basically said: "Here you go, watch the battle system in action for yourself." And you know what? It's not a bad move at all. Arab gamers who care about Final Fantasy just want to see how combat actually works, whether they'll vibe with it or not.
But here's the real question: Is one video enough? Yes and no at the same time. The footage answers the technical questions, but leaves the narrative and world-building hanging in the air.
Who Should Watch This?
- Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Players: You're the primary audience here, and this is your chance to see how the game has evolved.
- Turn-Based Combat Fans: If you're into classic, role-based tactical battles, this video shows that Resonance stays true to that tradition.
- The Undecided: Check out the fight first before you make your final judgment on the game.
I recommend watching the video if you're interested in Final Fantasy Resonance, but I'm expecting more content soon — one boss fight won't be enough for a final verdict on this game.
