Square Enix Unveils Exciting Final Fantasy IX 25th Anniversary Kuji Lottery

In a celebratory move, Square Enix has announced a special kuji lottery in Japan to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the beloved game, Final Fantasy IX. Set to launch on July 7, 2025, this lottery features a variety of prizes, including a highly coveted Vivi plush doll and a CD soundtrack comprising Chiptune Arrangement Tracks from the game. Participants can enter the lottery for a fee of 770円 (approximately $5) per ticket, adding to the excitement surrounding the anniversary celebrations.

Prize Structure and Details

As is customary with kujis organized by Square Enix and similar companies like Bandai Namco, this lottery features a tiered prize system ranging from A through F. Typically, items in the lower tiers are more readily available, while the top-tier (A) prizes are significantly rarer. Additionally, a unique “last one”prize will be awarded to the individual who purchases the very final ticket, a noteworthy gesture that both builds anticipation and adds an element of thrill to the event.

While Square Enix has not disclosed the specific quantity of prizes available, it is expected that only one of the sought-after Vivi plush will be available, along with a single exclusive “last one”piece of art featuring the game’s iconic cast, crafted by character designer Toshiyuki Itahana.
