Post-Game Guide
After the credits Final Fantasy Resonance gives you a clear save just before the final boss, with free roam of the whole world and no New Game Plus. What is left is Ultima Weapon (level 70), the 15 Cave Masters, 12 Legendary Arms, four Colosseum leagues ending with Omega (level 99), 99 Tablet Shards, 33 sub quests, 9 Espers and 26 mastered Visions.
After you beat Final Fantasy Resonance, save when the game offers a clear save and load it: you return to just before the final boss with the whole world open, and Ultima Weapon now waits at Ardra Crater in the southeast (Game8, Oct 25, 2026; Game8 checklist, updated Oct 30, 2026). There is no New Game Plus, and a new game carries no bonuses, so the clear save is where everything below gets done. Nothing here is required by the story, and all 40 achievements fit into this one save.

A sensible order
Game8 gives a checklist, not an order. PowerPyx's roadmap does give one: substories first for their stat boosts, then Legendary Arms and Adamantite for the best weapons, then the high-level Cave Masters and the Colosseum, and Ultima Weapon last (PowerPyx, Oct 21, 2026). Filling that out from the requirements above:
- Do Sub Quests and turn in Tablet Shards. Substories give permanent stats, the 80 and 89 shard rewards give Adamantite, and seven sub quests give Visions.
- Collect the last Espers and Visions. Sephiroth needs the airship, and beating him closes Whirlpool Hollow for good, which costs nothing since he is what it holds (Game8, Oct 28, 2026).
- Master Visions while you level. MRP is kept per character and Vision pair, and the abilities stay. See Abilities, AP and Mastery Rank.
- Forge weapons and earn the Legendary Arms, the gear every build below uses.
- Clear Cave Masters and the Gladiator League. Its fifth fight ends with a 100,000-damage Last Breath, so have Reraise up (RPG Site, Oct 22, 2026).
- Beat Ultima Weapon, then grind any Resonances left for the 400 of Resonance Rapid Fire. Omega is optional and comes when you want it.
IGN's Sephiroth guide shows the way in: from Chapter 5 fly the airship into the giant whirlpool above Grandshelt, walk into his Vision cave, and do not try the level 45 fight until you are at least that level.
What to bring
Post-game builds lean on the same few pieces: Firion's Arms Akimbo on nearly everyone, Terra's Break the Limit to pass the 9,999 damage cap, a Ribbon on anyone without status protection, and Reraise. Game8's post-game set for all eight characters is on Best Party and Builds, and which Visions it picks is on Best Visions. For MP, Game8 equips Leah's Pharmacology for 50% more from ethers, and buys Mist Turbo Ethers on the airship and Mist X-Ethers at the Colosseum (Game8, updated Oct 30, 2026).
How many players get this far
On Oct 31, 2026, nine days after launch, Steam showed 7.0% of owners with all 26 Visions, 6.4% with every character substory, 5.5% through the Gladiator League, 2.7% with all 15 Cave Masters and 0.7% with all 40 achievements. Resonance Rapid Fire (1.2%) is held by fewer players than any other visible achievement except the Platinum, because 400 Resonances rarely come by themselves (Steam Community, read Oct 31, 2026).
Frequently asked questions
What do you do after beating Final Fantasy Resonance? Load the clear save the game makes after the credits. It returns you to just before the final boss with free roam, and Ultima Weapon appears at Ardra Crater. Then finish the Cave Masters, Legendary Arms, Colosseum, Tablet Shards and sub quests.
Does Final Fantasy Resonance have New Game Plus? No. Game8 confirms a new game gives no bonuses, so all post-game play happens on the clear save.
Can you keep playing after the ending of Final Fantasy Resonance? Yes. The clear save puts you back before the final boss with the whole map, every quest and every collectible open, as PowerPyx describes.
What is the hardest boss in Final Fantasy Resonance? Game8 calls Omega, the last fight of the Colosseum's Champion League, the highest-level boss in the game, at level 99. Ultima Weapon, the post-game superboss, is level 70 with 3,900,000 HP.
What level should you be for the post-game in Final Fantasy Resonance? PowerPyx suggests 60 to 65 or higher for Ultima Weapon, and Game8 suggests level 99 with mastered Visions for Omega.

Ultima WeaponUltima Weapon is Final Fantasy Resonance's post-game superboss, a level 70 foe with 3,900,000 HP at Ardra Crater in the southeast, reached by airship after you load your clear save. It changes mode every 5 turns, each with its own weaknesses (Water and Wind, Earth and Ice, Light and Fire, Lightning and Dark), and a stagger cancels Ultima Beam; it drops the Ultima Reactor and unlocks the Gold trophy My Name Is Ultima....
-
Tablet ShardsFinal Fantasy Resonance has 99 Tablet Shards, turned in to the enigmatic princess at Oblivion Palace in Grandshelt for 25 rewards from a Vitality Charm at 3 shards to Lightbringer at 99, with Adamantite at 80 and 89. Trophies need 89 at most, so any 10 can be skipped.

VisionsFinal Fantasy Resonance has 26 Visions, crystallized heroes that each party member equips one at a time for stats, abilities and a Resonance attack. 17 are heroes from earlier Final Fantasy games, from the Warrior of Light to Clive, and 9 are originals; all 26 come from Chapters 1 to 7 and none can be missed.
