FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE Characters and Visions: The Full 26 Roster

If you are looking for “who can I play as”, separate two things first: the legacy protagonists arrive as Visions, and Visions are equipment, not the people walking the story with you.

The official character page lists 16 protagonists from FFI to FFXVI, and Square Enix has since given each of them a Vision video of their own. The full Vision list is larger than those 16 — Square Enix describes the system as an evolved job system, and 26 Visions have now been revealed. The story itself stays centred on Rain, Lasswell and Fina.

The people the story follows

• Rain: a knight of the kingdom of Grandshelt and commander of its airship fleet — the protagonist.
• Lasswell: Rain’s childhood friend and vice-commander of the fleet.
• Fina: emerges from the Earth Crystal with no memory beyond her name, and can speak with Espers.
• Veritas of the Dark: shattered the Earth Crystal and intends to destroy the rest; Square Enix places them among the Sworn Six of Paladia.
• An unnamed woman: the official profile keeps her name as a question mark. Don’t fill it in with a community guess.

The 16 legacy protagonists

The official character page lists them in series order:

• Warrior of Light (FFI)
• Firion (FFII)
• Onion Knight (FFIII)
• Cecil (FFIV)
• Bartz (FFV)
• Terra (FFVI)
• Cloud (FFVII)
• Squall (FFVIII)
• Zidane (FFIX)
• Tidus (FFX)
• Shantotto (FFXI)
• Vaan (FFXII)
• Lightning (FFXIII)
• Y’shtola (FFXIV)
• Noctis (FFXV)
• Clive (FFXVI)

The official channel has now published a Vision video for every one of the 16, which is what turns this list from a character-page reading into a confirmed reveal. The most recent three arrived in the last two weeks of September 2026: Terra on 21 September, Zidane on 23 September and Cecil on 25 September. The videos confirm a character appears as a Vision — not that they join the party, and not what their skills or numbers are.

The full roster runs to 26 Visions

Sixteen is the legacy count, not the whole system. Square Enix describes Visions as “a more accessible and evolved take on the familiar job system”, and the revealed list now runs to 26 Visions: the 16 legacy heroes above, Sephiroth, and original characters from the Final Fantasy Brave Exvius line. These are the extra entries beyond the 16 legacy heroes:

• Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) — promoted by Square Enix itself with a dedicated video and confirmed in the PlayStation Blog demo announcement
• Charlotte, Tronn and Leah (Final Fantasy Brave Exvius)
• Aileen, Amelia, Ayaka, Camille and Victoria (Final Fantasy Brave Exvius)
• Wilhelm — an original Vision that community trackers list but official material has not profiled yet

Any Vision also has a role, and the roles are what make the job-system comparison concrete. Community trackers group the 26 into five roles: Sentinel (protects allies), Commando (deals damage), Breaker (specialises in staggering), Medic (healing), and Saboteur (disrupts enemies). Square Enix has not published that role table itself, so treat the grouping as community work until the game’s own menus confirm it.

Two practical rules come from the PlayStation Blog’s own description of the system, and both matter more than any roster question:

1. Abilities stay with you. Once you learn an ability from a Vision, you can still equip it while a different Vision is active, as long as it fits the cost limit.
2. That is where the synergies come from. Because abilities can be mixed, two Visions with complementary skills can be combined on the same character.

Which ones you can get in the demo

Players recorded five obtainable in the demo: Warrior of Light, Terra, Cloud, Tronn and Leah. That is player testing; Square Enix has not published a demo Vision count. If you only have three or four. You most likely skipped a side quest or forgot to hand something in — walk through Vision awakening to check.

Villains and guest appearances

Veritas of the Dark belongs to the story’s opposing side. Sephiroth is the other promoted foe: the PlayStation Blog announcement says players will be able to find and challenge him, so he is confirmed to appear rather than merely rumoured — but a boss encounter does not by itself mean he is a party member. Gilgamesh has a video of his own and appears in the Collector’s Edition bundle contents, so treat him as a foe or featured character rather than a playable party member — see Bosses & enemies. Charlotte, Leah and Tronn, who show up in Vision material, are likewise presented as Visions for now.

What is still unpublished

There is no official role table, no per-Vision abilities and stats, no per-character join conditions, no party-switching rules for the full game, and no strength ranking. The 26 total and the five roles above are the extent of what can be written down now. How Visions relate to story members will change as the full game progresses — this page records only what is confirmed.
