Celebrating 25 Years of Final Fantasy IX: Exciting New Merchandise on the Horizon
As Final Fantasy IX approaches its 25th anniversary on July 7, 2025, Square Enix has unveiled an enticing lineup of merchandise. Among the highlights are a delightful Vivi mug complete with a hat cover and an adorable plush pouch, both inspired by the beloved character. These collectible items are set to launch in Japan on August 16, 2025. However, fans in the US should note that many pre-orders remain on hold due to ongoing Trump tariffs.
Product Features and Pricing
The Vivi mug stands at approximately 6 inches (15 cm) tall when fitted with the hat cover, while it measures about 3 inches (7.5 cm) without the cover. Designed to resemble Vivi’s charming face and iconic hat, this mug can hold up to 250ml. Priced at 3, 520円 (~$24), it is a must-have for fans of the franchise.
Additionally, the plush Vivi pouch captures the character’s likeness beautifully. Measuring about 7 inches (18 cm) tall and nearly 7.5 inches (19 cm) wide, the pouch features a blue and white striped interior lining, echoing Vivi’s distinctive pants. This adorable accessory will retail for 3, 960円 (~$27).

More Final Fantasy IX Merchandise
In addition to the mug and plush pouch, Square Enix has been expanding its range of Final Fantasy IX merchandise. Earlier in April 2025, the company introduced a replica of Vivi’s hat. There are also some stylish purses and pouches that take inspiration from the clothing worn by Vivi and Zidane throughout the game. Fans can also look forward to a picture book and plush toys that celebrate these iconic characters, released in March 2025.
As excitement builds for the August 16, 2025 launch of the Vivi cup and plush pouch, fans can also enjoy Final Fantasy IX on various platforms, including PlayStation, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices.
