Final Fantasy Resonance Sephiroth: Location and Vision
Optional boss and Vision. Square Enix's reveal and three guides, checked 25 October 2026
Beat him at Whirlpool Hollow to get his Vision
Sephiroth is an optional boss in Final Fantasy Resonance. Square Enix revealed on 3 September 2026 that you can find and challenge him to unlock a special reward. Guides from the released game say the fight is at Whirlpool Hollow in the Kingdom of Grandshelt, reached by airship, and that the reward is his Vision.
What Square Enix says about Sephiroth
Square Enix revealed Sephiroth in the trailer it showed at Sony's State of Play on 3 September 2026, the day the demo came out. Its press release and its PlayStation.Blog post that day say players will be able to find and challenge him "in hopes of winning and unlocking a special reward".
In the official sources listed below, Square Enix gives no location or level for him.
Square Enix has not published a voice credit for Sephiroth in this game, so we name no actor.
Where to find Sephiroth
The location and the reward come from guides written from the released game. All three we use agree on the place.
| When | Where | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| With the airship | Whirlpool Hollow, Kingdom of Grandshelt | Fly into the whirlpool and beat Sephiroth. |
| After the fight | Whirlpool Hollow | You receive his Vision. RPG Site also lists a Magicite Cryst. |
On timing, Game8 lists the fight from Chapter 5. RPG Site's walkthrough marks the whirlpool on the map once the airship arrives after Chapter 4, then comes back for the fight in Chapter 8.
