Sometimes, I feel like Final Fantasy XIV-themed merchandise brings in more revenue than the game itself. Last year, PUMA teamed up with Final Fantasy XIV to collaborate on a series of apparel and shoes, all of which quickly sold out within minutes. I, myself, am guilty of purchasing a giant fat cat cushion and now I have my eyes on Secretlab’s newest lumbar pillow featuring the iconic fat cat. There is also a version featuring everyone’s favorite chocobo, Alpha.
Secretlab is also expanding its Titan Evo offerings with a Final Fantasy XIV version. The popular gaming chair is available in a variety of editions that tie into other games, including League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed, Valorant, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, Monster Hunter, Diablo, and more. It’s almost surprising that it took this long for Secretlab to get an officially licensed Final Fantasy XIV chair. Prominently featuring the Crystal Tower, the chair’s side wings feature an area to place interchangeable magnetic role patches. Show off that you’re a non-adjusting healer with pride.
I consider Final Fantasy XIV one of the best games I’ve ever played, and I have its next expansion, Dawntrail, as my most anticipated game of the year. Its Early Access launch is June 28, a few days ahead of its official July 3 release date.
