FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE introduces Cecil, a character who can attack, defend, and heal

Square Enix Asia published a new FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE video on October 9, 2026, introducing Cecil as one of the series’ returning characters. The announcement identifies him as a character from FINAL FANTASY IV and captain of Baron’s Red Wings airship unit.

The video says Cecil can use light- and dark-element attacks and serve as an attacker, defender, or healer. The details give players a clearer picture of his potential combat uses, beyond simply confirming his appearance in the game.

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE is scheduled to launch on October 22, 2026, with the Steam version due October 23. A Chapter 1 demo is available to download, and its save data can carry over to the full game. The listed platforms are Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, XBOX on PC, and Steam. Square Enix previously described the title as the first FINAL FANTASY game in its HD-2D lineup.
