Final Fantasy Resonance fuses Final Fantasy 5 jobs with Final Fantasy 6 abilities

Producer Keisuke Nakashima said in an interview with Kotaku that Final Fantasy Resonance began combining Final Fantasy 5's job system, swappable combat roles, with Final Fantasy 6's character abilities. The pairing had not been done before and required research. Combat uses Visions, past characters with unique abilities, plus stagger mechanics studied from Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16.
