Yesterday, I got the Leech plush - I’m really happy with it :) I really love FFXI merch, music, books, plush - whatever - I love it!
I think, at the moment, my favourite item is the Crab plush - it’s just so.. blue and cuddly!
I regret not getting the watch when I had the chance, that’ll always be the one that got away - but I’ll learn from my mistakes and never pass up on FFXI jewellery again!

The custom 3D printed character statue, or the Tarutaru Face 4B women's brazier :D:cool::rolleyes:;)
But seriously there was a vermillion cloak hoodie (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/60866) I saw on a Japanese website that was . . . wearable. Who am I kidding it was perfect. FFXI doesn't do its fashion designers enough justice sometimes, SE too.
That's how you do FF17: real-life fashion wear ables, and lifestyle brands, live-able, workable- adventure-able, the whole marketing and advertising is from their life to yours. That's kinda where the Jordache jeans industry influences extremely heavily here: sold in every Wal*mart in the U.S.A.: pants! with my name on them. And not just essential to life wearable clothing either, they have their whole own international industry too, with farms and ports. SE could use an international airport an6 food production facilities.:cool:
Like, the Track Shirt (https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Track_Shirt) in-game item is something that can be feasilble merchandised (maybe silk-screened), and not look weird or out of place in a workplace or gym environment: this is usually what stops clothing sales: it's weird and out of place in the real world. It can still be used to promote the game, even if in silk screen. And don't be afraid to open it to international markets at first offering either, someone in Mexico might buy it anyway, even if its only released in JP.

All I got is the original OST special edition having it encased in this fold-out map with illustratrion drawn by Amano-san, been thinking of framing it but kinda afraid of it getting damage from moisture, hence still kept in special drawer.
And there's my FF10 PS2 JP region, which has bonus DVD contains VA interviews as well as FF11's special short dorama albeit ingame in that one using a modified FF8 version apparently instead of an actual FF11 game.

Meanwhile, in Japan... a whole plethora of merch was easily accessible, and probably cheaper. :p

I really like the Aegis phone kickstand they came out with. I actually used two of them to replace my knobs on my FFXI display case, and I use it now to open and close them. I have a lot of custom merch I plan to compile and post one day, but for the official stuff I like the bring arts Shantotto/Chocobo the best. It is a really good figure, the chocobo has incredible detail and can be posed very dynamically. I got three of them to create a little stable scene.

To be perfectly honest, my favorite piece of FFXI merch is actually FFXIV merch. The plush Carbuncles - the blue one is close enough to FFXI Carby's design that I can tell myself that's what it's supposed to be.

Do you have a picture of this display case? It just sounds cool and I have a lot of FFXI merch.

Oh yeah I forgot about this dea i had:
You know those mag-lev floating bases? Well an archaic gear for them. Like a 2"-3" diameter model of an Archaic Gear that can actually float on the mag-lev base. Like those Hoshinshu bonsai gardens, but then FFXI can do like a FFXI detector Monster also. It's easy enought o rototype just a magnet in a clay polymer sphere.
I actually went through the whole procurement motions myself until I got side tracked with work urgencies. It was simple enough to supply line from the middle of no where and the through doesn't look like cliche anime sculpture. So it's acceptable by lamp-floor loving women everywhere!
