Square Enix has officially unveiled the exclusive merchandise set for the 2026 Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival, now available for purchase on the FFXIV Online Store. The collection includes a highly anticipated crossover from Final Fantasy VII Remake: the Hardy-Daytona motorcycle mount and a Wind-up Red XIII minion. These account-wide items, alongside new in-game fashion and music, are available for a limited time until the arrival of Patch 7.5 on April 28, 2026. This article details the new additions, their functionalities, and the broader range of Fan Festival-inspired content now accessible to players.
The FFVII Remake Crossover: Hardy-Daytona Mount and Red XIII Minion
The standout items from this promotion are direct imports from the world of Final Fantasy VII Remake. The Hardy-Daytona motorcycle mount allows players to traverse the landscapes of Eorzea—both on the ground and through the skies—in a style identical to Cloud Strife. When activated, the mount’s animation faithfully recreates the sequence of Cloud summoning and driving the vehicle using the Hardy-Daytona Key. Similarly, the Wind-up Red XIII minion is a meticulously crafted companion that follows the player, capturing the distinctive appearance and character of the beloved Guardian from FFVII.
These are account-wide unlocks, meaning once purchased, they are accessible to all characters on a player’s service account. Due to this account-wide nature, Square Enix notes that these specific FFVII Remake items cannot be gifted to other players.
Availability Period for Crossover Items
The Hardy-Daytona mount and Wind-up Red XIII minion, along with all other 2026 Fan Festival items, are on sale for a finite window. The purchase period will close upon the release of Patch 7.5, scheduled for April 28, 2026. This creates a time-sensitive opportunity for collectors and fans seeking to integrate these iconic crossover elements into their FFxiv experience.
Additional Fan Festival 2026 In-Game Merchandise
Beyond the FFVII highlights, the store update includes several new items inspired directly by FFxiv and the Fan Festival itself.
Runway Walk Emote (Ballroom Etiquette – Sophisticated Saunter)
This new emote grants players a sophisticated sequence of movements. After a brief, poised walk, the character performs a series of distinctive poses before elegantly turning to walk back. It provides a new layer of expressive animation for social interactions and screenshots.
Aunt Tii’s Neotunic Three-piece Set
This clothing set comprises three shirt variants based on real-life merchandise offered at the 2026 Fan Festival. The set includes the standard Aunt Tii’s Neotunic, the Form-fitting Aunt Tii’s Neotunic, and the Oversized Aunt Tii’s Neotunic. A key feature of all three items is their compatibility with the game’s dye system, allowing for personal color customization.
New Orchestrion Roll Sets: Pulse 2 and Primals
Two new collections of Orchestrion Rolls have been added, each curating five tracks from released FFxiv albums. The Pulse 2 set includes the tracks: “Bee My Honey,” “Close in the Distance,” “Dedicated to Moonlight,” “Good King Moggle Mog XII,” and “Windswept Echoes.” The Primals set features: “Fiend,” “Lucas,” “Metal – Brute Justice Mode,” “Through the Maelstrom,” and “Under the Weight.” These rolls allow players to expand their in-game music selection within their homes or private quarters.
Purchase Details and Gift Restrictions
All newly released items are listed on the FFxiv Online Store. As noted, the Hardy-Daytona mount and Wind-up Red XIII minion are account-wide and therefore cannot be gifted. Conversely, the other four items—the Runway Walk emote, the Aunt Tii’s Neotunic Three-piece Set, and the two Orchestrion Roll sets—are single-character items. This means they can be purchased directly for a specific character and are eligible for gifting to friends.
The introduction of the Hardy-Daytona and Red XIII minion continues Square Enix’s tradition of celebrating its wider franchise within FFxiv, offering tangible connections to other beloved titles. Combined with the new Festival-specific cosmetics and music, this 2026 merchandise suite provides a diverse array of content for players to acquire before the April 28, 2026 deadline. As Patch 7.5 approaches, these items will remain a limited-time testament to the 2026 Fan Festival and the ongoing crossover collaborations that enrich the world of Final Fantasy XIV.
