- Square Enix listed estimated runtimes of 30–40 hours for the main story and 60–80 hours for full completion, and detailed completion-focused content such as a Colosseum, Twelve Legendary Arms and town minigames.
- Final Fantasy Resonance will launch on October 22, 2026 for PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, with the Switch 2 edition sold as a Game-Key Card and pre-orders open at $49.99 for standard and $59.99 for a Digital Deluxe edition with starter bonuses.
