Final Fantasy Resonance New Game Plus: Cleared Save Explained
Find out what a cleared save does and what has been reported about New Game Plus in Final Fantasy Resonance.
FAQ
Does a cleared save restart the story with my progress?
Are the Colosseum and Chamber of Arms proof of New Game Plus?
Does Final Fantasy Resonance have New Game Plus?
A hands-on guide reports no New Game Plus in version 1.0.1. It says the game offers a cleared save after the ending, which resumes before the final area instead of restarting the story. Whether later updates or particular platforms change that is To be confirmed.
This guide discusses the save prompt after the ending without describing story events. The report is version-specific; do not assume a future update has the same behavior without checking its notes.
What does the cleared save do?
The hands-on account describes a prompt to create cleared save data after the ending. Its stated destination is before the final area. That is a continuation of a completed save, rather than evidence of a fresh playthrough with carried-over levels or equipment.
| Question | Cleared save described by the hands-on guide | New Game Plus question |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Before the final area. | Would the story restart from its opening? |
| Progress | The guide describes continuing with the party used to finish. | Which levels, equipment or other progress would carry into a restarted story? |
| Evidence boundary | A reported behavior for version 1.0.1. | The guide reports no such mode in that version; later changes are To be confirmed. |
The right column describes questions to ask about any claimed replay mode, not features confirmed for this game. Keep an existing save you want to retain when examining menu choices.
What can you do after the ending?
Square Enix lists optional bosses, a Colosseum, the Chamber of Arms and Ultima Weapon among the game’s side content. That announcement establishes the activities exist; it does not by itself specify their unlock timing or prove that each remains accessible from every cleared save. Check your own game and build before assuming a particular encounter is available.
The walkthrough covers the story route. The Steam save-location guide distinguishes local Windows Steam files from cloud synchronization, and the Steam Cloud guide covers device handoff and conflict choices.
What should you check after an update?
Record the game version and platform, then consult the publisher’s update notes and the in-game menu. If a future replay option appears, check whether it starts from the beginning and lists what carries over. A cleared-save prompt alone does not answer those questions; no later mode or transfer rule is confirmed here.
