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.<\/p>\n
The standout items from this promotion are direct imports from the world of Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em>. The Hardy-Daytona motorcycle mount allows players to traverse the landscapes of Eorzea\u2014both on the ground and through the skies\u2014in a style identical to Cloud Strife. When activated, the mount\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n These are account-wide<\/em> unlocks, meaning once purchased, they are accessible to all characters on a player\u2019s service account. Due to this account-wide nature, Square Enix notes that these specific FFVII Remake items cannot be gifted to other players.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Beyond the FFVII highlights, the store update includes several new items inspired directly by FFxiv and the Fan Festival itself.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s Neotunic<\/em>, the Form-fitting Aunt Tii\u2019s Neotunic<\/em>, and the Oversized Aunt Tii\u2019s Neotunic<\/em>. A key feature of all three items is their compatibility with the game\u2019s dye system, allowing for personal color customization.<\/p>\n Two new collections of Orchestrion Rolls have been added, each curating five tracks from released FFxiv albums. The Pulse 2<\/em> set includes the tracks: \u201cBee My Honey,\u201d \u201cClose in the Distance,\u201d \u201cDedicated to Moonlight,\u201d \u201cGood King Moggle Mog XII,\u201d and \u201cWindswept Echoes.\u201d The Primals<\/em> set features: \u201cFiend,\u201d \u201cLucas,\u201d \u201cMetal \u2013 Brute Justice Mode,\u201d \u201cThrough the Maelstrom,\u201d and \u201cUnder the Weight.\u201d These rolls allow players to expand their in-game music selection within their homes or private quarters.<\/p>\n 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<\/em>. Conversely, the other four items\u2014the Runway Walk emote, the Aunt Tii\u2019s Neotunic Three-piece Set, and the two Orchestrion Roll sets\u2014are single-character<\/em> items. This means they can be purchased directly for a specific character and are eligible for gifting to friends.<\/p>\n The introduction of the Hardy-Daytona and Red XIII minion continues Square Enix\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
