All Party Members in Final Fantasy Resonance Revealed

Meeting new party members in Final Fantasy Resonance is part of the journey. As in other games in the series, you start with only a few characters who team up to go on an adventure, but as they progress, they make friends who join the group. Although you can only use up to four characters in combat, unlocking all available party members broadens your strategic options.

To help you navigate this adventure and locate the new allies you need to save the world, we prepared this guide to explain where to find all party members in Final Fantasy Resonance.

All party members in Final Fantasy Resonance

In Final Fantasy Resonance, there are eight party members that you recruit by completing the segment of the main story where you meet them. This means that they are locked behind the campaign, leaving you no alternative but to focus on completing the chapters to add new characters to your roster.

Each character belongs to a specific role, which helps you balance support and offense within your party. At the same time, using the right Vision and mastery bonus skills allows you to complement a character’s kit. Shifting them to a different role is quite difficult, though, because a character’s stat progression is pre-determined, they will inevitably perform better in certain roles. For example, magic attack is Sakura’s highest attribute, making her a natural caster.

Final Fantasy Resonance is designed to resemble older traditional Final Fantasy games, but when it comes to character progression, you don’t need to worry about leveling up characters and who is out of the main party. All characters earn both experience points and mastery points after battle.

Here’s a list of all the characters in Final Fantasy Resonance and when you unlock them:

Character	Chapter they join	Role	Description
Rain	Chapter 1 – Trailing the Truth	Sentinel	Rain serves as a strong physical-damage dealer and your primary tank.
Lasswell	Chapter 1 – Trailing the Truth	Breaker	Lasswell’s skill set centers on staggering enemies, though he is also highly effective against foes weak to ice damage.
Fina	Chapter 1 – Trailing the Truth	Medic	Fina is not only a natural healer, but the only character able to summon espers, making her an excellent hybrid of support and caster.
Lid	Chapter 2 – Eternal Blue		Lid is a straightforward character who can become the best staggerer thanks to a powerful physical-damage skill.
Nichol	Chapter 3 – Wardens of the Aquapolis	Synergist	As the sole synergist on the roster, Nichol is responsible for providing party buffs, but he can also be turned into a powerful healer.
	Chapter 4 – Banner Oath		Jake is a powerful damage dealer who offers little to the rest of the team.
	Chapter 5 – Scars of Time		Unlike her white mage version, Archwitch Fina has access to strong dark-based spell attacks as well as non-elemental magic such as Gravity, making her the perfect debuffer for your team.
	Chapter 5 – Scars of Time		Like Jake, Sakura is not meant to support the party, but she can strike enemies hard with her elemental magic thanks to her own ability to buff her spells.
