A new wave of Final Fantasy XI-themed merchandise brings plush replicas and apparel. Notably, one item is an FFXI Kraken Club plush replica, mimicking the famed weapon. Other items in the wave include a replica Crab creature, a jacket to signal your love of Vana’diel with, and an Ark Angels shirt. The items are available for pre-order on the Square Enix store.
The FFXI Kraken Club plush is a soft, stuffed copy of the level 63 weapon. The Kraken Club was once considered one of the most desirable weapons in the game. It had the innate ability to “occasionally attack 2 to 8 times.” Meaning that with every swing, there was a good chance for the weapon to delivery many separate attacks. The club measures 18.7″ inches long (about 47.5 cm) and costs $69.99 USD.
If the FFXI Kraken Club plush is based on an iconic high-level weapon, the Crab plush is based on a very low-level one. One of the most commonly encountered enemies in Vana’diel, the Crab was many a budding adventurer’s first target. The Crab could also be their last foe, as there are also many high-level Crabs in the game. The plush Crab measures about 10″ inches tall (about 25 cm). It will cost $59.99 USD.
The FFXI “We Are Vana’diel” Souvenir Jacket is an embroidered jacket that features the world map of Vana’diel patterned on the back. Available in a black-and-white pattern, the jacket signals the locations of FFXI‘s nations, like San d’Oria, Jeuno, Bastok, and Windurst. An “XI” in roman numerals is also stitched on the breast. It will cost $169.99 USD.
Square Enix is also selling a T-shirt featuring the Ark Angels, infamous foes that players can fight in-game. The T-shirt is inspired by heavy metal band shirts, and shows the Ark Angels, with their respective traits rendered like autographs. The shirt will cost $39.99 USD.
The FFXI Kraken Club plush, Crab plus, “We Are Vana’diel” jacket, and Ark Angels t-shirt are available for pre-order on the Square Enix Store. Final Fantasy XI is playable on PC, with an ongoing login campaign that rewards an Ixion mount.
