Final Fantasy Resonance backs its main scenario with a sizable optional layer. The official feature list names four marquee activities, the producer has pointed to superboss-class enemies beyond them, and a weapon-empowerment loop gives the endgame progression of its own. Character-driven optional quests are covered separately under Side Quests.
Official Side Content
Four activities headline the official description of the game's optional content.
Activity | Description |
|---|---|
Gilgamesh | A wandering swordmaster who can be encountered out in the world. |
Colosseum | A battle venue stocked with deadly monsters and rewards to match. |
Chamber of Arms | Holds formidable foes sealed within legendary weapons. |
Ultima Weapon | A showdown with Ultima Weapon awaits somewhere in the world. |
Superbosses and Endgame Volume
The producer said endgame-style completion content exists in considerable quantity, including enemies he classed at superboss level. Asked about closure, the director said the game is built to deliver a satisfying ending on its own, so the endgame sits on top of a complete story rather than standing in for one.
Weapon Empowerment
The endgame's progression system runs through weapons: carrying a base item while defeating strong foes empowers that weapon, so the strongest gear grows out of the hardest fights.
Airship-Gated Challenges
Part of the optional layer hides behind traversal. Dungeons, powerful enemies, and events reachable only by airship are scattered across the world, and the airship can set down at spots that were visible but out of reach earlier; see World Map and Traversal.
Playtime
Developer estimates put the main scenario at 30 to 40 hours on Normal, with 60 to 80 hours for a run that engages broadly with the optional content. In preview builds, chapter 1 alone ran about five hours. The producer was direct about the target: a main path in classic RPG proportions, not a scenario that demands 100 hours on its own.
