Final Fantasy Resonance includes 26 Visions in total, according to the producer: 16 legacy heroes from the mainline series, one for each numbered title from FINAL FANTASY I through XVI, and ten more tied to this game's own story. FINAL FANTASY XI is represented by Shantotto and FINAL FANTASY XIV by Y'shtola. This page lists every Vision that has been individually named, and it deliberately lists no guesses about the rest.

Eleven Visions have been individually named so far: eight legacy heroes and three story-side characters. Official role words and element profiles appear below where Square Enix has provided them.

Role words such as Commando and Defender come from the official English bios. Visions listed without a role or elements have been named but not yet detailed.
Reported and Unnamed Representatives
Early coverage has reported Lightning as the FINAL FANTASY XIII representative. The producer's one-per-numbered-title statement implies a FINAL FANTASY XIII Vision exists, but Square Enix has not individually named or shown her, so this page treats her as reported rather than confirmed.
The same statement covers representatives for FINAL FANTASY II, III, IV, V, VIII, XII, and XV. None of them has been individually named. Entries join the table above only once Square Enix names them.
Obtaining Visions
Legacy heroes are unlocked at vision crystal sanctums scattered across the world, where you revisit stories from the original games. Story-side Visions come from character events, side quests, and bonds. Every Vision is earnable in-game, with no DLC. Each one also powers its own Resonance attack with a unique cinematic; see Resonance Attacks. Ability inheritance across Visions is covered at Abilities and Mastery.
