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 were individually named during the announcement period: eight legacy heroes and three story-side characters. The July 2026 additions are listed further down this page. Official role words and element profiles appear below where Square Enix has provided them.

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, XII, and XV. None of those four has been formally announced by name. Entries join the table above only once Square Enix presents them officially.
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.
Visions Detailed on July 16, 2026
Square Enix detailed six more Visions in the July 16, 2026 information release: one from this game's own cast and five legacy heroes. Each entry below records only what that release says about the character's role in this game.
Vision | Origin | Role in Resonance |
|---|---|---|
This game's cast | A weaponsmith as adept at wielding weapons as forging them; lowers enemy defenses with her Pilebunker, and forges weapons for the party from adamantite. | |
FINAL FANTASY IV | Former captain of the Red Wings, the empire's airship fleet. Light and dark attacks; can also defend and heal. | |
FINAL FANTASY V | Travels on his chocobo Boko. Wields a sword imbued with fire and ice magic; staggers foes with relative ease. | |
FINAL FANTASY VIII | A candidate for SeeD. The more he uses standard attacks in a battle, the more damage they deal. | |
FINAL FANTASY IX | A member of Tantalus. Steals items, and saps enemy vitality and speed while augmenting his own abilities. | |
FINAL FANTASY X | A blitzball player from Zanarkand. Hastes the party, then staggers foes with wind and water attacks. |
Aileen, Cecil, Bartz, and Squall are new names. Zidane and Tidus had already been named at announcement and gained their first kit details here, so the individually named count now stands at fifteen: eleven legacy heroes and four from this game's own cast. The official site publishes legacy Vision artwork for ten slots, numbered by series entry, and five of the sixteen legacy entries still have no named representative. This page lists no guesses about them.
