On top of the long-awaited arrivals of FF7 Remake and <a href=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/news\/72280-ff7-rebirth-free-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/news\/72280-ff7-rebirth-free-update\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FF7 Rebirth<\/a> on Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2, Square Enix has been on an announcement spree lately: bringing Final Fantasy 14 to Nintendo&#8217;s latest hardware and treating FF9 fans to a highly anticipated animated series. And that&#8217;s not even counting FFX, which the publisher clearly hasn&#8217;t forgotten either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FFX gears up for its 25<sub><sup>th<\/sup><\/sub> anniversary with some exciting surprises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For this legendary PS2-era JRPG, still one of the most beloved entries in the entire franchise, 2026 is anything but an ordinary year. It marks the game&#8217;s 25th anniversary, with the official celebration set for July 19th. Square Enix is naturally getting a head start on marking the occasion properly, launching a dedicated anniversary website that already promises plenty of surprises for both longtime FFX fans and collectors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00ab<strong><em> We have prepared various events to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the years<\/em><\/strong>,\u00bb the publisher confirmed (translated from japanese), taking the opportunity to unveil a first wave of announcements. Leading the charge is a new range of merchandise: plush toys modeled after FFX characters, available through the official Square Enix store. Priced between \u00a54,400 and \u00a54,620 (roughly $29\u2013$31), they&#8217;re slated to release in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside those, two new books are also on the way. The first is an art book compiling all of the game&#8217;s official illustrations alongside previously unseen artwork by Tetsuya Nomura. The second is a commemorative album celebrating FFX&#8217;s 25th anniversary, retelling the full story of the game with high-definition remastered visuals. Both are set to launch on July 3rd, priced at \u00a52,750 and \u00a53,520 respectively (around $18 and $23), through the official Square Enix store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"922\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HG4Yas0aUAAKATr.jpeg\" alt=\"ffx artwork\" class=\"wp-image-73017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HG4Yas0aUAAKATr.jpeg 922w, https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HG4Yas0aUAAKATr-323x420.jpeg 323w, https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/HG4Yas0aUAAKATr-768x1000.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>New Artwork by Tetsuya Normura<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Must-haves for the fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, for the musically inclined, three new vinyl records are in the works. The first, priced at \u00a59,350 (around $62), collects 20 tracks from the FFX soundtrack spread across two discs. The second, dedicated to the iconic piece &#8220;To Zanarkand,&#8221; brings together 15 different arrangements of the track for \u00a52,420 (around $16). The third, titled &#8220;House Grooves,&#8221; reimagines 12 FFX songs through a deep house lens, available for \u00a53,300 (around $22). And as Square Enix makes clear, this is only the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/jp.finalfantasy.com\/ffx25th\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/jp.finalfantasy.com\/ffx25th\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FFX website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":72425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[106,107,109,108,143],"class_list":["post-73011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ffx","tag-final-fantasy","tag-goodies","tag-merch","tag-square-enix","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73011"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73018,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73011\/revisions\/73018"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
