Dated the note on Zidane's unpublished elements and Resonance to October 24, 2026
11Zidane is one of the legacy Visions in Final Fantasy Resonance. Square Enix's own text first names him in its July 16, 2026 information release, which also detailed his kit. The official character page pairs him with FINAL FANTASY IX.223344Profile5566Square Enix introduces him as a member of Tantalus, a theater troupe and thieves' band. As a Vision he steals more than items. He saps an enemy's vitality and speed while augmenting his own abilities, so each theft is both a debuff and a buff. Japanese material names the moves directly, but not consistently. The July 16, 2026 Japanese announcement calls them Steal HP and Steal Speed, matching the English "vitality and speed", while an August 16, 2026 Japanese Vision video calls the first one Steal Power. Square Enix has not reconciled the two, so this page records both.7788DetailValueOriginFINAL FANTASY IXSignatureStealingStealsItems, plus enemy vitality and speedEffectWeakens the target while strengthening himselfNamed techniquesSteal HP (July 2026 Japanese text) or Steal Power (August 2026 Japanese video); Steal Speed99Official Videos10101111DateVideoWhat It AddsAugust 16, 2026Japanese Vision introduction, number 13 in its seriesNames his Steal Power and Steal Speed techniquesSeptember 23, 2026English-language Vision videoInvites players to battle alongside Zidane, resonate with his Vision within the Sanctum of Light and unleash his abilities in combat1212Obtaining and Raising Him13131414Square Enix's general rules for legacy Visions apply to Zidane. Crystals of past FINAL FANTASY protagonists are obtained by visiting the Sanctums of Light erected around the world. A party member who equips his crystal can use his magic and abilities, and a stronger bond with the Vision unlocks more of them. Staggering every enemy in one turn lets the party trigger a Resonance, a Vision-specific special attack, and Square Enix says the special moves of the series' past protagonists are rendered in 3D graphics. Any Vision can also be awakened with limited magicite across three stages, unlocking higher-tier techniques and magic; see Vision Awakening.15151616Further details171718-Zidane's elements and Resonance attack have not been fully established from official English text.
