What Are Sub Quests in Final Fantasy Resonance?
Sub quests are optional missions you take on outside the main story. They give you bonus equipment, Magicite, Gil, and in some cases entire Vision characters that you can’t get any other way.
You pick them up by talking to specific NPCs or interacting with notice boards in towns. Once accepted, they appear in your quest log under the Sub Quest tab. The game tracks your progress automatically, so you always know where to go next.
Eight of these quests are called character substories. Each one is tied to a specific party member — Rain, Lasswell, Fina, Lid, Nichol, Jake, Sakura, and Dark Fina. Completing all eight earns you the Conscience Renewed trophy and gives each character a permanent attribute bonus.

Tips for Completing All Sub Quests in Final Fantasy Resonance
- You can’t miss any quest permanently. Even if the story moves to the next chapter, all sub quests stay active. Come back whenever you’re ready.
- Do character substories as soon as they appear. The stat bonuses they give are permanent and compound — getting them early makes the rest of the game easier.
- The Mechabo chain spans three quests — Arise, Mechabo! → Mechabo Evolved → Mechabo Unleashed. You need to complete each one to unlock the next. Don’t skip them; Mechabo Unleashed teaches Overclock Zero, which is strong.
- For Rogue Rebel, the password to give the merchant is Wild Rose. Don’t miss this one — it gives you the Rose Circlet, a solid early accessory.
- Medicinal Mission has a mandatory boss fight with the Blood Dragon. Bring Fire skills. You can’t run from the encounter.
- The Mog Tag quests are quick and stack. Do all three while you’re in Mysidia to save fast travel time.
- “Reunion” requires two prior quests to be completed — Elven Maven and Lyrical Riddles — before it appears in Gaberada.
