What does ちょーなー mean?
This means:

```

    Do your best in the final (match) ! After it finishes, please date with me."
    
```

I am a native Japanese speaker but I have never heard the expression ちょーなー. So
I thought it's from a dialect and googled ちょーなー but I found nothing.

This word might be a combination of `ちょー` and `なー`, I think.

`ちょー` is an abbreviation of `ちょうだい`, in a informal way.

Example:

```

    デートしてちょー。 (Date with me.)
    
```

On the other hand, `なー` can be used in similar cases.

Example:

```

    デートしてなー。 (Date with me.)
    
```

Sentences that ends with `なー` is mostly spoken by people who live in western
Japan.

answer
I grew up saying and hearing 「ちょーな」 said by others on a daily basis.

This is an expression from Nagoya dialect and 「～～してちょう（な）」 means the same
thing as 「～～してほしい = "I want you to ~~"」 in Standard Japanese. The 「な」 is for
emphasis and, therefore, is optional, and for extra emphasis, you can elongate
the 「な」.

> Thus, 「[終]{お}わったらデートしてちょーなー。」 means "When you're finished, I want you to go
> out with me!"

OP should have provided more context so I could explain 「ファイナルがんばって！」. If the
speaker were talking to an idol, 「ファイナル」 would mean the final concert on a
tour. We do say 「ファイナル」 for that.

If, however, people shorten ファイナルファンタジー to ファイナル, then that might be what it
refers to. I do not play those games, so I am clueless on this.
