Merchandising! Square Enix loves to do it. And with lots of people wearing masks in Japan, the Tokyo-based game maker saw an opportunity.
Update March 3 â 11:40am: As one Kotaku reader points out, these masks are also available through the North American website.
As Famitsu reports, pre-orders for Final Fantasy XIV masks kicked off this week, including one emblazoned with the FFXIV meteor:
As well as one covered with job icons:
The masks, which are made from cotton, polyester and polyurethane, are each priced at 1,000 yen ($9.35). And if thatâs not enough (itâs not, apparently!), Square Enix is also releasing a 2,500 yen ($23.40) mask case.
Whatever gets people to wear masks, really!
