The Final Fantasy XIV planetarium show in Japan will shift to a new phase covering the Summer night skies in May 2024. Square Enix and Konica Minolta Planetarium also announced that they will release new FFXIV-themed merchandise at the same time.
Once the Summer phase kicks off on May 7, 2024, Square Enix will release the new folding umbrella and “The Aroma of Eorzea” essential oil bottle at Konica Minolta Planetariums in Ikebukuro, Yokohama, and Nagoya. Both items will also be available to order digitally via the Gallery Planetaria web store a week later on May 14, 2024.
The umbrella will cost Â¥3,850 (~$25), and it will feature the Eorzean night sky on the user’s side. Its outer side will protect the user from not only rain but also ultraviolet rays from intense sunlight.
Meanwhile, “The Aroma of Eorzea” bottle will contain 5 ml of essential oil at Â¥2,200 (~$14.35). Square Enix will emulate the scent of Eorzea’s night sky by blending lavender with more plant-based oils from the likes of citrus, bergamot, and rosemary.
Square Enix and Konica Minolta Planetarium first launched the FFXIV collaboration show on February 2, 2024. The show features a narration about stars in the Eorzean skies during the Spring season from G’raha Tia’s Japanese voice actor Yuma Uchida. The companies also released clear files and tea packs at the same time.
The Summer version of Final Fantasy XIV‘s collaboration show “The Tale of the Stars and Eorzea’s Gods” will appear at Konica Minolta Planetariums in Ikebukuro, Yokohama, and Nagoya on May 7, 2024.
