Visions¶
Visions are the crystallized essence of legendary heroes. They take the place of a job system: equipping a Vision decides which abilities a character can learn.
Where to get Visions¶
| Vision | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Tronn | Story, Town of Mitra (Farplane, via the portal in the basement of Rain's house) |
| Leah | Story, Town of Mitra (Farplane, via the portal in the basement of Rain's house) |
| Warrior of Light | Sanctum of WoL, north of the Village of Kol |
| Cloud | Sanctum of Cloud, far north of Grandport Harbor |
| Terra | Sanctum of Terra, southwest of the Town of Felicitas |
| Zidane | Sanctum of Zidane, in the mountains around Mt. Thunderclap, northwest of Dilmagia (Dirnado) |
| Onion Knight | Sanctum of Onion Knight, on the edge of Dirnado (guides disagree on the southwest or eastern tip) |
| Noctis | Sanctum of Noctis, west of Mobliz Shipyard (Dirnado) |
| Firion | Sanctum of Firion, in the forests of the southern Olderion Federation |
| Squall | Sanctum of Squall, east along the road in the southern Olderion Federation |
| Tidus | Sanctum of Tidus, far west in the southern Olderion Federation |
| Cecil | Sanctum of Cecil, southeast of Capital Station (Zoldaad) |
| Y'shtola | Sanctum of Y'shtola, in the far east of Zoldaad |
Tronn and Leah are story rewards: you can't miss them. The others are found in optional sanctums on the world map.
Mastery¶
Mastery is how a Vision's base abilities are learned.
- A Vision earns Mastery Points every time its wielder fights.
- Each Mastery rank unlocks abilities and permanent stat boosts.
- Mastery is tracked per character. If two characters use the same Vision, each one levels it separately.
- Learned abilities have to be equipped, and each one costs AP. A character's AP total caps how many fit.
- Abilities stay learned, so you can equip them while using a different Vision, as long as the AP allows.
Awakening¶
Each Vision has three greyed-out stars. Awakening a Vision fills in a star and permanently unlocks another set of skills and passives on top of the base set. Awakening is separate from Mastery: it only happens when you spend magicite.
The costs below come from third-party guides and are unverified.
| Tier | Cost |
|---|---|
| ★ | Magicite Shard |
| ★★ | Magicite |
| ★★★ | Magicite Cryst |
Where to awaken¶
After you defeat Siren in Siren's Tower, the Moogle of Light appears in Grandport. It gives a tutorial on using magicite and gives you a Magicite Shard. Talk to it to awaken your Visions.
