Final Fantasy's 25th Anniversary Merchandise

In celebration of the Final Fantasy series' 25th anniversary, Square Enix has planned to release a range of products for fans. First looks show a wide range of coffee tumblers with a few different designs, as well as a pack of cards featuring characters from the thirteen main entries in the series!



The original Final Fantasy was supposed to be the swan song of Square Soft Inc., but instead catapulted the company to the top of the JRPG industry. Now, 25 years later, Square Enix are continuing to innovate and challenge the conventions of the industry.

Final Fantasy was released in Japan on December 18, 1987, and has since gone through multiple ports and rereleases. It is obvious from the longevity of the series that Final Fantasy fans are highly devoted to the games, and are always eager for a chance to show off their support; whether through merchandise or just debating which game is the best!

Release for these products is scheduled for Spring of 2012 (that's northern hemisphere seasons), with an expected retail price for the deck of cards of ¥1,200, which is around $15.00/£9.50/€11.00. Coffee tumblers are set at ¥1,900 or $24.00/£15.00/€18.00.

While Square Enix is starting the 25th Anniversary celebrations, some fans are already showing support in their own way. Youtube user PixelEdged has created a tribute to the single player entries in a two part video series.
