FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE playable characters: the eight story-party members

The eight permanent party characters

The story-party roster contains eight characters. This is the playable party list, separate from guests and equippable Visions. PowerPyx party guide RPG Site walkthrough IGN character pairings

Character	How to identify the entry
Rain	Story-party character
Lasswell	Story-party character
Fina	Story-party character; keep this entry separate from Archwitch Fina
Lid	Story-party character
Nichol	Story-party character
Jake	Story-party character
Sakura	Story-party character
Archwitch Fina	Separate playable party entry from Fina

Use all eight names when checking whether a roster is complete. A list ending at Sakura leaves out Archwitch Fina. When looking up a build, match the full character name rather than assuming that both Fina entries share one moveset. PowerPyx RPG Site

Four active slots does not mean only four characters

Battles use four selected party members. The complete eight-character roster therefore gives you choices for those slots, rather than placing all eight on the field together. GamesRadar+ Creative Bloq

Lightning and Sephiroth are Visions

Lightning belongs to the equippable Vision system. A Vision adds abilities and bonuses to a story-party character; counting it as another permanent party slot gives you the wrong cast total. PlayStation hands-on Nintendo Life review

Sephiroth is also obtainable as a Vision. His optional boss encounter and his equippable Vision role coexist; describing him as a boss does not rule out using his Vision afterward. PlayStation hands-on VGC unlock guide

Find the right Fina guide

For the second playable Fina entry, search for Archwitch Fina, the English name used in the party and walkthrough guides above. Check that name against the character entry before applying a build. This roster does not establish a separate Joshua party entry or equate every “Dark Fina” search result with the Archwitch Fina entry.

For the equipment system itself, read the Vision overview. The gameplay guide explains the battle slots, turn order and stagger.
