If you make these real life t-shirts, why don't you sell them too?

Lots of us would buy merch like this..

[Kazushi]

You can buy your own from here: https://dengekiya.com/shop/e/effxi1990/

Use a service like whiterabbitexpress to import it for you, their fees are very reasonable.

PS: they are also selling hand towels here: https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF11000075.html they look like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/215901413350309888/620674836720517120/unknown.png

[Typral]

How do you buy those? Or do you need a JP account

Hey Resetti,

That one should work for you now. (Was missing the file extension .jpg/.png at the end.)

Would it be possible if you could delete the first one that showed up blank in the official post? Thank you!

Here's mine! I can't officially enter the contest myself, so sharing with you my piece here.

I shall call it, Mandys enjoying the Sundragora!

Now let's see yours! Keep 'em coming!

Entry submission deadline is today, so don't miss out!

[Gwydion]

I appreciate the effort but 9 official entries so far is just kind silly. It demonstrates a gap in your understanding of your (NA) player base.

Could the next ever involve a gold or rainbow mog pell? Or a moogle cap? There's so many vanity items, I wish we could access.

[Suteru]

I don't know about you, but physical merch appeals way more to me than mog pells. This shirt is actually 100% unique, the ones for sale don't have any fireworks.

[Alhanelem]

Ugh if I saw this sooner I'd have done something for it. Somehow I glossed over it the whole time.

You know, if you were able to get something in the /smes about active contests, you'd get a lot more participation, I'd wager.

[Dragoy]

Not to mention we EU people can't participate. :\

[Zhexos]

I'd definitely like to see more contests, its been a while since I've seen one. Definitely publicize them ingame alongside event messages and such if you can.
