Ah, Merch! It is the mark of a fan showing their love for their favorite franchise, and with a juggernaut of a franchise such as Final Fantasy, you’ve got a wide variety readily available to the public. Yet, just beyond the reach of the average fan lies a world of merchandise that is elusive and will give your pockets a run for their literal money.

Tenth Anniversary Limited Edition Potion Drink
Final Fantasy 7, Price: $75
The ten-year mark of the worldwide phenomenon known as Final Fantasy 7 deserved more than just a thank-you letter. Luckily, the folks at Square agreed, and the Tenth Anniversary Ultimania is a compendium that provides a behind-the-scenes look into the creation of the world of Final Fantasy 7 and a complete timeline of in-game events, artwork, and more.
Alongside the Ultimania, Square released 77,777 bottles of HP potions for fans who were quick enough to get them. No more have been made or released since, but you may still find empty bottles floating around the internet. The bottle has a sleek silver and glass design, reflecting the Shin-ra company’s industrial leanings.

30th Anniversary Wine
Final Fantasy Franchise, Price: $55 per Bottle
When Square Enix, better known back then as Squaresoft, was making Final Fantasy back in the 80s, they assumed the project would be their final attempt to make a successful game after several less-than-stellar releases on the Famicom. With a small team of five developers, Square created history in the making.

None of the cartridges we have found here are below $2,000, so be ready for high sums. These are the rarest and most expensive SNES video games.
So, naturally, when the unheard-of marker of 30 years came, you know Square Enix had to show up and show all the way out by releasing this unexpected collection of wine. Unfortunately, this was a Japan-exclusive item in the celebration, complete with a limited run. You can find it at various resellers, but the cost can come steep quickly.

10th Anniversary Puma Collaboration
Final Fantasy 14, Price: $120
Finding rare sneakers requires a niche talent. Before you find what you’re looking for, several factors must align: time, connections, money, and, possibly, the most prominent factor, luck. If one of these is lacking, you’ll have a hard time. Are you trying to find a pair with a limited run and no plans for a re-run? Your chances are even slimmer.
For the 10th anniversary of Final Fantasy 14’s release, Square Enix teamed up with Puma to create a collection of shoes that reflected the battle of light and darkness between the realms. Their designs are subtle, but they capture the essence of the duality. They sold out just as fast as they were released, and finding a pair, even through third-party resellers, is almost impossible.

Replica Judge Magister Gabranth Helmet
Final Fantasy 12, Price: $1,099
It’s never been made clear whether the 1:1 scale Replica Judge Magister Gabranth Helmet was available to the public. Fans know they exist, sure, but until a few (a very few) helmets started showing up on third-party websites, it was simply a rumor that excited collectors.

Stratocaster Guitar and Crystal Shard Picks
Final Fantasy 14, Price: $3,499
In 2021, Fender Music announced that it would collaborate with Square Enix and release a limited-edition guitar to celebrate Fender’s 75th anniversary and a slightly early precursor to Final Fantasy 14’s 10th anniversary the following year. The guitar is designed to resemble the crystals of Hydalyn and Zodiark, respectively, and if you shine a light behind the colored areas, they glow like crystals.
The guitar was available for pre-order for a short time, and as of this list, only 1000 were sold before the event ended. The guitars aren’t available through the official Fender site, but they are floating around and being resold if you know where to look.

Roen Limited Wardrobe Collection
Final Fantasy 15, Price: $30 – $2,500 Per Piece
Opinions on Final Fantasy 15 vary widely, but most will agree that the main characters are stylish! The stylist, Roen, evokes a dance between punk and elegance with his designs of the characters’ outfits. So much so that two of the four brothers from different mothers, Noctis and Prompto, have had their in-game outfits made real, thanks to the collab.
Even at the game’s peak, these outfits have been tricky for even the more fervent fashionista to find and purchase. With the game being so old and completed, it’s doubtful that the clothing will receive a re-run. Secondhand stores aren’t housing the items either, meaning you’ll only see these pieces of clothing online or in the game.

Audi R8, The Star of Lucis
Final Fantasy 15, Price: $470,000
The marketing of Final Fantasy 15 was on another level. Square Enix went all out: designer clothing, jewelry, and cologne representing each party member. But despite all of that, there’s one piece of merch that blows all of them out of the water in both rarity and opulence: A one-of-a-kind luxury vehicle.
Only one Audi R8 was made for the game, and it came with the understandably high price of $470,000 and sold for over 2 million from a private seller. An interesting tidbit is that this car was visible in the Kingsglaive movie from the game’s universe. For now, all fans can do is look at this car in photos and enjoy it from afar.
